Decathlon sell a good range of ski clothes, and very cheap. I buy ski clothes for my family and post them back to the UK they are that cheap here. If you are after a cheap watch, try casio G shock range, I have had one for years and still take it scuba diving down to 50m. On a more expensive wtach my Omega Seamaster is good to 75m of under water swiming. |

Unlike Mr Bond I had to buy my Sea Master whatch. One word of advise, if you want an acurate Omega buy the battery operated one, my self winder is never right. |

I would buy at the duty free shops at the airport, just to make sure you dont buy a fake! Check out prices on line first so you dont get ripped off, as for the model check out the latest James Bond Movie for the one I wear.
PS
I have visited the St George church in Syria |

Personally, i prefer IWC for diving watch, Omega is very fine too (i like the planet ocean model). casio g shock is the best ratio Price/quality for a diving watch. |

"can I buy omega waterproofs at bai bai ban n tht"
not very sure what is bai bai bai n tht, but I don't think so. I remember seeing some not bad prices for Tags in Singapore in one of the malls. If memory serves me right it was about 1500 SD for teh battery one. Not sure about the sea bass  |

When I first started diving I used a Casio G-shock. Later I had a Sector, which is a professional dive watch. But nowadays I am mainly using my Omega Seamaster. The IWC's are great watches. Still on my wish list  |

Mostly for diving I have a Dive computer. a UWATEC ALADIN Pro Nitrox(The Big Blue Brick), so spend your money on a good dive comp and buy a cheap G-Shock. For about $150 you can buy an Uwatec botton timmer, it gives you your current/max depth,water temp and dive time.
Most people who have and expensive dive watch leave them in the hotelroom when they go diving! |

I like the Citizen Eco-Drive Aqualand. Runs off sunlight so there is never a need to crack the case to put a battery in it. |

I bought a Seiko divers watch in 1978 when I qualified as a ships diver in the RN (only the clearance divers got issued with a free watch). I still wear it every day.
Decathlon would be good for ski clothes. |

Well if you where around when the clearance divers were working, maybe you could catch the watch as it passed by if the guy made a mistake.
