Three watches carried the week
Stirling Durrant Steel
A British Army vehicle mechanic attached to The Parachute Regiment, wearing a Stirling Durrant in steel.
Tin Can Timepieces Shallow Water Combat Submersible
An active duty Navy submariner and nuclear operator, and the founder of a young watch company, whose watch is photographed at night outside the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynn County, Georgia. The frame belongs to a K9 unit, a working dog at heel under the streetlights, the handler's wrist resting just above those ears with the watch on a green strap. The submitter built the piece himself, working with Secret Service, SEALs, Rangers, Marines, and federal law enforcement to chase "the perfect piece that can not only take a beating but look good doing it." Destro crown, fixed lugs, and in his words, "all the tactical needs in one. From fist fights on duty to K9 training this piece performs." The watch is a Tin Can Timepieces Shallow Water Combat Submersible, named for the SEAL delivery submersible, worn here where the next generation of federal agents learns the trade.
Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT
A firefighter with Miami Dade Fire Rescue, Battalion 5, riding Engine 2, photographed in the cab with a cup of coffee and the gear staged behind the seat. Bunker pants dropped over the boots, coat and hood hanging, everything set to be stepped into.
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.
