'Swiss Military' watches? Any good?

[Pulse]

I really like the look of this one, but I know nothing about watches. Are these OK?

Swiss Military and Victorinox are not the same thing. I suspect Swiss Military may even be better.

I initially thought the name sounded a bit 'Hokey-Cokey Watch Co', but after a quick Google it appears they do actually supply the Swiss Police and Army with watches and they're owned by a company called Montres Charmex SA. The company also holds a world record for the most waterproof diver's watch (some hideous-sounding thing nearly an inch thick).

The most important thing is whether you like the watch. Since you do, I say go for it.

Ask yourself...how many wars has Switzerland won?

Enough in the past, The pope banned Swiss Mercenaries from fighting for anyone but the Pope as they where too good.

Taking money off both sides and not getting blown up sounds like winning to me...
