Sea Dweller - Military issue
Whilst many Submariners have been issued to military/naval units world wide.
Have any Sea Dwellers, been issued to any military, anywhere? Thanks Barry |

Not heard of any military SD issue, only the Subs,to Ifremer and Comex to diving companies yes.And other Canadian military Rolex watches but these were not sports type watches like boy size OP but with sub seconds at 6 o'clock. But the Daytona 6238 and 6263/5 was issued and made by Rolex for the Peruvian Air force in limited numbers in the 70s 80s.Plus there was a few SDs given to military officers, and special forces troops, as gifts by the various middle east sultans etc.Welcome to TRF Barry.

Welcome Barry - if you don't mind me asking, where abouts in the UK are you? (just there's a place near me similar to your user name).

Not sure about "issue", some were given.

Nice read, Mike; I printed your post out to hand to one of my buddies (& sometimes colleague, though he's an older fart than me) who was given one of these watches.
