Thanks for your service. I'd go with the Sub on bracelet with black NATO as second choice.

Sub date on bracelet in my opinion.

By the way, can you elaborate a bit on all the decorations that you have on the jacket. I know that each one of them has a meaning and that I could look it up but I would love to hear it first hand!

No date on bracelet. The solid black dial, without the white date, would be a more military style. The metal of the bracelet will accent the brass on your uniform.

Good luck Captain, and thanks for your service to our country.

In this formal military attire, the Sub ND on bracelet would be the best choice. I don't know where some of you folks are thinking a Sub would not be appropriate; this is not a preppy, snob affair. It is a gathering of our warriors and a "dress watch" IMHO would not be appropriate unless is was a DD 18K if you were a Major or higher.

My 2 cents.

Totally agree. Probably not the most virtuous example, in a sense, but you get the point!
