One of my closest friends was NAVSPECWAR from 04-08 with deployments in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I have met a bunch of his brothers who range in time of service from Vietnam to down range now and guys serving in both US and UK armed forces. Thank you to all of you who have served and put it all out there. A Happy & Healthy New Year to you all.....

Retired Army. Wore a TT Datejust the entire time. Sold it when I got out and tried some other brands before returning to Rolex.

I spent a few years and a few deployments in the Army. At the time I was a Timex Ironman kind of guy, I now enjoy nicer watches:)

Just bought a watch and it looks a lot like my oyster lipton WWII era. Can anyone verify if this one is also a Rolex brand bubble back?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191799254933...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It looks a lot like these in picture on this page:http://rolexblog.blogspot.com/2008/0...hurricane.html

I was at Clark AB (1985-1989) the same time you were there. Retired now obviously.
Ever been to the famous 'Nipa Hut'?

Went to the Nipa Hut one time, I had a girl friend back home during my tour there, probably saved me from a lot of things! 😂 I was there from 87-89, worked Transient aircraft maintenance.

IMO, that's not a place you visit multiple times (well only to take first-timers). Good for you, your life would've most likely veered off in another direction. As for me, I worked at 4th Combat Communications. Worked with some great people and have many wonderful memories!
