If it was the watch of choice for SEALs and SF back in the day then it had to be one fine watch. I have met a older gentlemen who had one and they said if your gonna get a watch get one these son. I'm a gadget freak but some things cant be improved on sometimes.


Incidently I met a guy a few years ago that was retired SF. I went into his hospital room and he was laying there sporting a sexy hospital gown, OD green wool socks, a very neat gray/white flattop, and a Rolex GMT that looked like it had been around. He complimented me on my flattop when I dropped to one knee to draw his blood and I asked if he was retired SF. He said he was but I dont remember with what group now. I complimented him on his choice of gown accessories and he said his wife had mailed him the watch in Vietnam while he was doing some diving with some SEALs. I saw him a few more times over the next few days and he was a really great guy.
