Seiko Diver Testimonial
I found this on the Equation of Time dive board. I found it very interesting.

I thought you find the following interesting as to how much punishment my Seiko 6309 diver has taken as a military watch.
Purchased 1985 in Germany at the PX.
Patrolled the streets of Nurnburg Germany on the wrist of a Military Policeman involved in multitudes of bar fights and assorted rough play.
1987 it moved to Puerto Rico as a Military Police Investigator's watch and held up through more rough play and off duty diving.
1991-1997 it survived airborne school, 50 plus additional jumps, water insertions in Panama and combat as part of the infamous Task Force Ranger in Somalia in 1993.
1997-present it is still serving me well as a daily watch in the U.S. Border Patrol patrolling on motorcycles and quadrunners daily.
All this with only one rebuild and a replacement bezel ring that was knocked off in a bar fight.
Any similar stories out there?_
