A man must have a code. It is easy to say stuff like that when you write a blog - it is almost too easy to hide behind someone else's bravado. So here goes -
OMEGA - I am boycotting all coverage of the Sochi Olympics. I will not cover any portion of it. I think you are a great company, I love your watches and I will understand if you do not want to send me any more press releases.
BUT - I can't say okay anymore.
I do not agree with what is happening in Russia. I do not agree with blind endorsement.
I LOVE what you are doing with ORBIS and other organizations. You have a BIG HEART. And you make some really amazing watches. AND you do a lot of wonderful things for charity - PLEASE keep up the good work. Not covering Sochi is NOT about you.
I realize, this is a small blog, a few people read it. But I also think that ultimately you have to stand for something. So I am standing for this.
