TimeOut

Hi All,

Today I started thinking about my dive watches. I don't dive - well ok, I dive into the pool, but not on any other occasion.
So why do I have all these durable, water-tight watches?

To do outrageous things only? Perhaps. But just setting it into a water glass is no big deal, is it?

And is a birthday cake & ice cream surprise really that tough on a watch?

PS - to show they are good sports, after I posted this the MIH team offered me full warranty coverage if needed (rather than cancelling me)

So this morning my wife said, I'll bet you wouldn't put your watch in the worm bin! Of course, this is a woman who knows me well.

I ran to the watch cabinet and grabbed the 2000M GST Diver. Look out worms, here he comes!

Snuggled right down into the warm loamy stuff.

Kind of disappearing from sight at this point.

As a treat for my courage, my wife offered some consolation to take my mind off the worms.

Have a good weekend. I'll report back on his condition ...

. . . err, post, that is. Nice of you to dredge up the 'perpetual in Perrier' photo for us, too ;-) . . . cordially, Art

Hope it remains safe.

I don't have it now (sold it), but when I had an Omega Seamaster diver (2255.80 with the ETA 2892A2/Omega 1120), it was a veritable tank, and I wasn't afraid to pretty much wear it anywhere and in anything.  I think that's why we like 'em so much because they're built like tanks! (True also for Rolex Sub, JLC, etc.)

You're a lucky man!   =:^D

...play pinochle on your snout." 

Mike -- this is a fun (crazy) post!  I can't wait to see if your watch survives its premature burial!  Thanks for a dose of humor!

Cheers,

Daos:

I remember the words that precede your quote but I can't remember the ones that follow "the worms play pinochle on your snout".  If you or anyone else remembers them, please let us know.

Thanks

Hi Harv,

Like you probably, I learned some of the words to "The Hearse Song" as a child.  What follows the lyrics I quoted in my original response is commonly, to the best of my knowledge:

"They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach, and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead."

Very apropos to October, the month of Halloween!

Cheers,
Daos

That sort of refreshes my recollection.

But how did you remember it after all these years?

I work in music licensing, so I have many odds and ends rattling around my skull when it comes to songs.

Hey Mike,

Maybe you should get together with the other MIke (aka mkt33) as he's testing a PVD case from Montblanc!

Make sure you give it a sonic bath afterwards

Looking forward to your results!

Cheers,
