I think military and ex-military types like us appreciate the solid reliability & dependability a Rolex provides.

At least I do!

British Army, currently out and about in a hot country. But raining like England here, so feels like I am at home :-)

Currently deployed with my Omega Sea master, will be swapping on R & R for a rolex.

I've just joined the British Army (TA) at the grand old age of 33. Currently under training with a view to commissioning in September. (with luck, hard work and large cash bribes to the DS, that is!)
