You Need Me On That Wall!: Watch update

Watch update

I didn't end up getting the watch I said I was going to get. I decided that the blue faced Omega Seamaster would be a better choice. Here's a picture:

It's called the "Bond" watch because it is the one used in the last several Bond movies. (Bond wears Rolex in the books, but Rolex didn't want to pay for the placement.)

It's perfect. I think the blue goes better with everything than the black would have. This particular model has been discontiued by Omega, there is a new internal movement that they are using now. The watch in "Casino Royale" is slightly different. Obviously I'm a big Bond fan, IMO, the new Bond kicks ass.

This may well be the only automatic watch I ever own... but you never know...

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
