Hi, Gang! Welcome to the New week (and of the month, at that). Sometimes forces beyond my control/reason take possession of me and FORCE ME to purchase a watch. That said: meet the WRIST ARMOR U.S. AIR FORCE Submariner (quartz), with metal alloys for the case and bracelet; the case back IS s/s & watch has a "Japan movement." Haven't pulled off the case back yet to check. Has mineral glass for crystal & a tight bezel requiring a firm hand. Watch measures 47mm x 12mm and tips the scale at 147 grams. We'll see how it goes over the next several days. AND, yes, I'm a veteran of the USAF. dave

Very cool tribute watch Dave. It's a beast, but sits well on your wrist. Let us know how you like it after some wear. Congrats, and thanks for serving our country!

THANKS, Mate! At the time of my discharge (1970), being a military veteran wasn't too popular -- and NOT JUST with the anti-war crowd.
