Show us your MILSUB's!
Hi, haven't seen many milsubs getting showtime, so thought we should have a thread showcasing your milsubs, some history and paperwork pics too if possible:)
Here is mine;)

I've got a nice set of three here with me, but wrapped up tight for trip back to Europe , fraud you'll have to wait for me to get to London for a group shot.
In the meantime, biggest, baddest bestest ... The BBC 5517 SBS watch with full on maxi mk1 dial ....When they wheel me out to my hole in the ground this'll be on my wrist http://www.thetimetraveler.co/watche...ry-submariner/ |
