Our pre-jump briefing made it sound like it was the worst DZ ever (flooded, 5ft water trenches, snakes, power lines etc.) and it was the softest landing I ever had. I landed in a pile of soft watery mud. I also trained with the 3/7th SFG at Bragg as an MI guy. Now about that DRSD!!

I was at the Church in Bladon today, and popped over to Winston's Grave to pay respects, I also gave him your best too !

Lovely color on a lot of the watches posted here.

Here's my vintage on a not-so-vintage bracelet. Perfect combination.

Beautiful.

Would you kindly care to share pictures from the 93250 + inner side of SELs?

Thank you!

It's actually the 70200 bracelet off of a modern OP. I happened to have an OP a while ago when I picked up this Sub and decided to see if the bracelet would fit. To my surprise it clicked in perfectly. While it doesn't have the flick-lock clasp, I still much prefer it to the period-correct bracelet as it makes the watch feel so much more solid. And in reality, I slightly prefer the oysterclasp due to its thin profile.

But I'll post some additional pictures later when I have the watch by me. I assume you're basically asking for pictures from the caseback side? Or are you actually asking to see the inner portions of the SELs?

On a different topic - getting the HEADS out late November is something we dream of in the UK !

My Maxi 3. I have nightmares of the plots being bleached by the sun. It’s an indoor piece for me unfortunately.

@Ascari_2.

As a matter of fact , I was hoping the 16800 would accept a 93250SEL.

No need to post pictures, don't bother.

Thank you!

My 1969 case stamped red 1680 is on the left. You have to look hard.

For you USMC Force Recon and Special Forces Combat divers:Key West-1972
and Khe Sanh-1971. At McCoy in WI. night jump from a C-141, landed in 2 ft of snow at 2 AM-20 degrees-rock outcropping-broke receiver on M-16. (See earlier posts).

Working on improving a 1960 original 5512. First years 5512s with gilt dials and chapter rings are rare and very desirable to this bottom diver. In 1963 or close, Rolex released the 5513 Submariner, and more 5512s
became chronometer COSC watches. My 5512 has a 1560 movement which was COSC
certified as one of the first COSC Submariners with pointed crown guards.
This makes my particular watch special. But, nothing from Rolex is set in stone as to
vintage watch Rolex issuance or service.

(PS-I have the US Navy's continued permission to dive the USS Tecumseh, a Union ironclad monitor sunk by a torpedo mine August, 1864 during the Battle of Mobile Bay.
The Tecumseh enjoys the same status as the USS Arizona as to hallowed US Navy
grave site for deceased seamen. Treacherous tides, current and limited visibility.)
