I guess I'm a bad influence...

My (female) friend picked this up yesterday. As a combat veteran who was engaged by terrorists during her nine month Afghanistan combat deployment, I couldn't be happier helping her get her first Rolex. Air King for the WIN!!! Oh, thanks Honolulu Time (David B.)!

Close up, so pretty. I told her to insure it and wear it every single day. With the black dial she can wear it in uniform with no issues.

She should. Nothing will tell the Taliban they've had their a@@ kicked like being beaten by a woman wearing diamonds.

Just sayin'.

As a former 11B with the 82nd who has had 2X combat tours to Afghanistan I Hope each diamond hour marker represents a conformed kill. Well deserved watch.
