Aside from the engraving on the side of the case, does the watch have any other additional features from the standard version?
Pics of case back with soldiers ZAP number
Are you Hereford? Or are you just wearing it?
I bought this watch from a local retired SAS soldier last year. It was great to meet such a humble SAS soldier knowing of what he has endured within his service ( helped along with a few stories)

Lolz...

I'd feel uncomfortable wearing a COMEX SD, this is turned up to 11!

It's only a watch. It's not like he's wearing the bloke's campaign medals is it?

Something nice to look at while studying for a Prince 2 Project management course. That was a trip to hell!

The watch...Zenith El Primero Chronomaster in 18 Rose Gold. A classic from Zenith.

Potentially, but times could have been hard or he may have wanted to free up funds for another venture / thing. I'd still not wear it.

I see people / civvies wearing Citizen Royal Marines / Red Arrows etc watches and wonder why they bought a mil badged watch to wear rather than a normal one without the the OTT details. Maybe they feel better about themselves for wearing it?? But that can only be so until they meet a genuine RM or Arrow and then the sleeves get pulled down to hide the evidence. I used to see young lads doing it in Exeter, pretending to be RM recruits to impress the chicks by getting their hair cut short and getting RM tatoos. Short lived as the young women of Exeter know as much about Lympstone as the lads in training. I can understand owning a Mil Sub, or other limited run Mil watch and keeping it in a box for investment or interest sake, but wearing it like you are one of the team is a bit gay. Like the people who wear Porsche or Ferrari merchandise to networking events when they are sporting nothing more than a Mondeo in unlit area of the car park. Gets on the tits of Ferrari and Porsche owners does it not?

Just my opinion, as I earned the right to wear my badge.

Hope all is well with you mate smile

I don't imagine he's using it as a walting tool, more that its something interesting with an SF connection. Don't see much harm if its just that. Of course, if he's giving people death stares and being taciturn beneath a gringo 'tache while making sure the barmaid gets an eyeful of his watch then, well, we all know what we think. From a watch point of view it's an interestingly connected one, but beyond that I wouldn't read too much into it; till shown otherwise anyway smile

Post away.

You don't have to justify buying/owning it.

It's a watch forum and we like to see different watches.

Yup, happy to see your watches. Some are best kept and not worn in my opinion, but that could just be me.

I like the fact it feels like zero compromise, when everything else over time is being made of cheaper parts, poorer quality manufacturing processes and techniques. It feels hewn from a solid chunk of metal (which it mostly is) and like it would go anywhere and last a number of lifetimes. Quite heavy yes, but it's nice to be reminded you're wearing it!
