Omega and Phelps Redux
Here's an article from the NY Times questioning whether there is a conflict of interest in Omega's sponsoring Phelps and timing his results, particularly in light of his split second victory in the 100 meter butterfly. What's interesting, though, is that the reporter seems to be the one courting the controversy. All of the quotes suggesting there may be a conflict of interest seem to arise from questions or emails from the reporter. Anyway I thought it was an interesting follow-up to the more laudatory article I posted earlier.

I am seriously considering it. Nautilus are hot right now and I have no fear of the bottom falling out of them. I have yet to see a white in person. I have a few days until it arrives. If they ever stop the 5711 production, the the white started the end of 2012 they will be far fewer. Maybe a good thing. For those who have the white dial, do any of you also have the blue? If so, what gets worn more? The 5711 is still an inexpensive (relative term) watch. I see no reason not to have it. I s
