Sharp i like that quote at the end of your post. My father was a paratrooper in Vietnam and i have heard him say many times: "yea, though i walk through the shadow of the vally of death, i fear no evil, for i am the baddest motherf*ucker in the valley."
 
I wear a Zodiac Super Seawolf Automatic. Swiss made, waterproof to 1000 Meters. Bomb proof, one tough looking watch
 
I like this one:

It's actually a pretty good deal, since you're getting two watch movements and dials for the price of one :-)
 
Well; one of my next will be a "RAF" Omega 30-T2, preferably as original as possible AND from the WWII-era... They were made 'till the mid-fifties I believe. There are always some lying around at a quarterly watchfair in Houten. ...Where...? Get a Times Atlas...

That would make watch no. 10 in my collection. I've been "clean" for more than a year! Heck, I even picked up knife-collecting as a substitute! :D
 
GunCollector, great article on Rolex at TimeZone! I have been wearing the same Submariner for 21 years in all types of environments including radiation areas. NEVER HAS FAILED ME. I don't care if they have mud in the movement as long as it performs and I can bet my life on the watch. My wife has a Two Tone ladies Rolex, failed once in 21 years. Daughter has Tudor for 15 years, no problems, recently purchased Rolex. I have had a SS Daytona for 7 years, a tank. Yes, Rolex is on the low end of expensine mechanical watches and the internal finish is certainly not up to high end watch standards, but Rolex's keep on ticking in environments and use that would destroy most watches. Any out there had their watch go 21 years in all types of service(hunting, white water and flat water canoeing and kayaking), look like hell and still functioning? -Dick
 
GunCollector and others, some more thoughts about the TimeZone article on the Rolex Explorer II. The statistical arguments used that would lead one to believe that this watch is typical of Rolex production are absurd. I don't know where this watch came from and the article doesn't allude to that, but as a minimum the watch should have been sent to Rolex for an examination. Because a company produces thousands of items is not a reason to conclude that they must be crudely finished. WatchTime magazine which is a cut above the usual consumer publication, in the last year or so have published two articles on Rolex. One was a comparision of the Submariner to the Omega SeaMaster and the other was a comparison of the 4130(old) Daytona to the 4131(new) Daytona. Both articles include movement pictures. No where in the articles are the concerns that are mentioned in the TimeZone article. Clearly there is a disagreement here. For you to base your conclusion about Rolex watch movements on a SINGLE article however detailed is not being objective. I find that individuals that have not owned and worn a Rolex are the most crtical of the watches and that individuals that own and wear a Rolex are the least crtical. My own experience with five Rolex's has lead me to reach my conclusions. -Dick
