I actually held that watch twice - once in the Omega store in Chicago and once in a jewler in NYC - the band is solid white gold. That's a lot of gold. Gold isn't cheap (or light - this thing was HEAVY).

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
