Three watches carried the week
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean and Rolex GMT Master II
A patrol officer and FTO in a fast growing North Texas city, photographed on shift with an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean on the wrist, blue bezel over the dark uniform. The résumé behind the wrist is the story: he came from an executive role at a Wall Street firm and traded it for patrol, in his words, to have a tangible impact on the community, and now spends part of that impact passing knowledge to the next generation as a field training officer. The Planet Ocean is the duty watch. The Rolex GMT root beer, he says, belongs to the corporate life he left.
Rolex Explorer II
A member of the Coast Guard's Deployable Specialized Forces at range training during deployment preps, the line of shooters and target stands running away behind the wrist. The watch is a Rolex Explorer II with the white Polar dial, the orange 24 hour hand reaching across it, worn under a sand colored sleeve with the cuff pushed back and the sun full on the dial.
Ares Diver 1 on a sketchy boy

The shop is restocked
The challenge coin is back, and it has company: a PVC seal patch, three die cut stickers, and a three sticker pack. Everything ships from Virginia.
