Same for 5th SFG(A) in 79. Ours were actually issued to the dive teams though. On 511 we kept ours in the 1-drawer field safe and they never left the team room. The monthly 10% sensitive items inventories always seemed to include counting watches. Most of us younger guys bought and used Seikos because the Tudors weren't worth the PITA. Personally, after the G-Shocks came out, I went Casio and never looked back.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
