What will you wear for Memorial Day wknd?

I've got my military Tudor Snowflake Sub strapped on with pride! This one was originally owed by a US Navy UDT Frogman who served two tours in Vietnam. Its pictured here next to its diving companions...a UDT issued depth gauge and compass...

THANK YOU to our men and women in uniform, both past and present!

Thanks, Tom. But I've got another Nato coming my way that is even more patriotic. Perfect for my pepsi GMT on the 4th of July. Pics after delivery, as always.

Thanks, Tom. I'll be wearing the SD shown. The DRSD on the left, that I wore through my military career is consigned to the bank vault (now that I know what it it is worth-thanks to this forum and Ed Delgado.

Thanks.
It's a Speedbird G-10 from Timefactors.com. They offer both G-10 and RAF style Speedbirds and I have both.
