Hmm .... i survived on a $20 casio for my NS stint. My secondary
school buddy who was a CDO as well, also survived his stint with a
similar casio.
Have to agree on the G-Shocks. Their rubber casings are all that
stands between the watch and mother nature. My S3 once wore a
G-Shock for a field exercise for 4 days and during the 4th day
morning, we had to swim across some mini stream in Mandai, after
the swim, his watch was waterlogged and apparently the rubber
casing came loose and allowed water to go in.
He was cursing and swearing as it was bought only like 3 mths
before. He wore back his old Seiko Divemaster and the rest was
history.
Ged, just a question, have you seen any one in your unit using a
rolex as a real military tool watch ? I used my Sinn 156 last yr in
my ICT, pretty interesting and fun to use. However I'm toying with
the idea of getting a pre-owned Tudor for my future ICT. Any
comments or advise ? PM me if required !
