Hello!
Over the passed 24hrs, I have inadvertently become enamored and decided I want to start a watch collection. Currently have an Apple Watch and find myself wishing I used that money to buy an analog watch.
I come from a military family, wanted to go Seal forever, then decided to join my local PD (currently in application process). I am an avid shooter and currently work at my local gun store to pass time. All being said, I obviously like watches with military connections. I’ve read through a lot of W.O.E. articles and found some real interesting stuff.
I would like to get my hands on a MACV-SOG Ciso issued Seiko 5 and I know that for sure, that’s really about it… I am undecided about Divers watches, but I am open to suggestions. Any must-haves with a cool military/service background? Budget aside as I figure this will end up a very drawn out, expensive collection.
Sangin, hands down. Started by a marine raider a few years ago. Serious SOC testing. Lots of guys reporting 100k+ rounds fired while wearing, both in and out of uniform.
Marathon is legit, but their customer service is a mess. Sangin has a lifetime guarantee, and when you have an issue, Jake the owner answers you right away and gets it sorted. I had a broken date wheel that was back in my hands free of charge in two weeks.
Lots of options from quartz to selita automatics, pilot and divers.
