New Watch>>

While waiting for my new Sub, I have also sprung for a new Swiss Army Watch. Really nice dial, and a nice price to go with it. $465 instead of $925.

What do you all think of this watch?

I know it's not a Rolex, but does anyone here own a SA watch as well?

didn't know they make watches, always love swiss army... it's the only backpack I take with me!

Water-resistant 100m sounds good, you can take it diving or get down and dirty with it in puddles and mud?

If you save around half price on it you can't go wrong!

At first I wasn't fond of the green face but then I started thinking, well hey it is an ARMY watch and now i'm actually liking it. That being said I think if they had finished it with black stainless steel instead, it would look exceptionally nice with the green face, and it would make more sense for stealth recon purposes lol!

Nice watch though, nice that it's mechanical

Love that dial! It looks very nice.

I'm quite impressed with some of their previous models; plain and simple. I purchased mine in Honolulu, Hawaii 18 years ago.

My daily watch for many years before becoming WIS-ified was a Swiss Army watch. It served me well. Still have it in the watch box.
