Very respectable! You guys have a tough gig and I can definitely see where you're coming from there.

Oh man, I hoped it worked out in the end!

As a Firefighter I feel the same way. We have many Emergency Medical Response calls and they are usually to poorer areas. It is hard to show empathy with a Rolex on the wrist. I prefer my G Shock.

I wore mine to work but I didn't wear it AT work. It stayed in my locker. I didn't want it to get banged up in a fight. The city would only cover damaged / destroyed watches to $50.

The local paper wanted to do a story on police use of force and since I was the instructor, I was chosen. I met the reporter and photographer at the range and they took a couple of photos.

Problem was, I'd forgotten to switch watches as I wasn't going on patrol. I took a lot of grief from my association leaders as we were in the middle of contract negotiations. It's hard to cry poor to the city council when one of the officers is on the front page obviously wearing a GMT II. Lesson learned.

Picked up this cool zulu strap for another watch I wear to work often. I think it'll look sweet on my Pepsi. Need to order a 20mm version now.

18 years federal law enforcement as a Special Agent, and 1 year as a local Sheriff's Deputy.





This was recently sold to make room for a new, special piece from Rolex.

At Police Week in DC this past year I had a blast with some NYPD guys in the hotel. Talk about crazy mofos who just busted in our room to "hang out" with us! lol Great guys. I'm up for a NYC meet.

OHHHHHHHHHH, and I would like to extend a THANK YOU, to all of those who joined this thread from the civilian side to thank us! It's not that often we hear "thank you." It means a lot.

First of all, thank you all for your service, it's truly appreciated.

Can I ask what you mean by it being open season on police? All I see in the media lately are how many unarmed citizens have been killed by law enforcement this year in the USA. It seems the trust gap between citizens and the police is getting larger :(

Just curious if I've missed something. I'm the last person to believe all the media hype and have many friends and associates in law enforcement.

Read the newspapers my friend police officers are being killed at a alarming rate. Once police officers aren't safe what happens to the rest of society?

This thread was NOT for discussing that type of statement. So please don't go there again..

"Open season on Police" means we can't do our jobs anymore without harsch scrutiny from Liberals, who have no idea how real police work actually occurs. Also, Cops around the country are being killed, it seems on a daily basis. Unfortunately, these deaths don't make the cover of the major newspapers, nor do they headline the news programs. Proactive policing is almost impossible to perform these days, at least in big cities. There is far too much bureaucracy.

Yea.. You have definitely missed something. In fact you have missed a lot. Like witnesses that have purgered themselves and recanted, forensic evidence indicating the officers involved were telling the truth, grand jury and federal attorney general office reviews vindicating the officers.


Don't believe everything you watch on tv. In fact get out of the house and go on a ride along with your local police department or sheriffs office.



Thank you God for letting me be retired.
