I notice a theme among us military folk, and it doesn't matter what part of the world. We all seem to love Subs and inspired models, GMTs, and Explorers. Not all of us, but most. I wonder why that is?

1969-1997 North Vietnam and every conflict forward except Greneda.

My two Rolex watches and my last mil issue. I would have liked to have an Explorer in which the GMT time could be set but the money went into savings first, and I don't need that feature now.
