and I'm sure I'll regret wasting my time here, but, in an attempt to avoid getting "upset", and sticking purely to facts...

perhaps your Omega needed adjustment. In my experience, one can obtain similar accuracies from properly-regulated examples of both.

: The helix relieve valve on your Omega is a gimmic. No
: one, yes no one, can dive so deep that helix will form inside a
: watch. So, that little valve is only there to create problems.

Yes, it's a gimmick, and one that Rolex include in the Sea-Dweller. It's still a gimmick, you're quite right.

However, and assuming you meant Helium, it can and does build up inside a watch during a chamber descent. On either Omega or Rolex. And it's still a gimmick.

: An Omega which is water resistent to 1000ft is a gimmic.

Probably you're right; as it is on the Rolex Submariner, too.

And Rolex goes much, much further, with the DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller. What on earth is the point of that, I have to wonder? It's not even possible to find water at that depth on Earth :)

: No one,
: yes no one, can dive to that depth and stay alive.

Not so; the SCUBA depth record is > 1,000 ft. But it's still a gimmick.

: please tell me, why are you so upste?

I'm not upset, I'm amused.

Are you upset?

:)
