Anyone have any names available? thanks, T.W. fer6903@att.net |

Sorry for resurrecting a 7 year old thread but I just learned about the user, sdfrog177.
Tyrone "Rone" Woods was a Navy SEAL who was portrayed in the film, "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” and the book that inspired it. Rest In Peace brother. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...yrone_S._Woods http://www.rolexmagazine.com/2017/11...ods-story.html https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...7&postcount=62 |

Just found this thread...
To: Navy SEAL Tyrone "Rone" Woods, departed. Rest in Peace, brave man and protector. With a lump in my throat, and misty vision, I salute you, Sir. I wish someone had connected with you.

Wow. Thanks for resurrecting this and calling attention to Tyrone’s story. A sad end to a guy who obviously spent a lifetime risking it all for others. I hope his kids cherish the watch their father wore during so many of his heroic actions. |

Going forward, a thread from a first time poster should get at least one response!

Just read about this and Rone’s watch on Jakes Rolex World. https://www.rolexmagazine.com/2017_11_11_archive.html
Amazing story and shows that these things we wear were/are real tool watches for those at the tip of the spear. LLTB |
