One of my favourite watches is an old gold Omega, which I inherited from my father.  He had helped a refugee escape from the *** in 1938 and took the man to England, where my father got him a job.  The refugege was very grateful for all the help and so gave my father this watch by way of thanks.  It continues to keep good (it is regularly checked and serviced) and on my death will go to my eldest nephew for  safe-keeping.

I've always had a thing for the plain old all-stainless submariner.  As a scuba diver who's had more than one watch leak I like knowing I have a piece of equipment that can get beaten and still hold up under pressure.  One of the record holding deep divers took a couple watches with him down to 1000 feet (all rated for that depth) and the submariner last one to fail.

I got this one yesterday. A present from my girlfriend, did not know anything about it!

It is a Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Auto Chrono.

I would like to buy a MR-G link for playing out in. I do like the black metal.

 

Can anybody in Japan sell me one?
