Not My Watch or Picture But...
I think this could quite possibly be the best picture of the Blue Angel I've seen

Ken's photo is quite the stunner as well. I have a feeling it may have something to do with the fact that it is just such a beautiful watch (but, yes, the photos are very, very nice).

Thank goodness because the last thing an old Marine wants to hear is that he is wearing a Naval watch!!

Here is the straight skinny. The United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps are two separate branches of the service, both of which serve under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy.

The United States Marine Corp is a naval service now and has always been a naval service, even though the relationship between the United States Navy and the Corps has changed considerably since Captain Samuel Nicholas set up the first Continental Marine recruiting station at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1775.

Still, today, when the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps project their combined might anywhere in the world, they represent what may be considered the most agile and formidable force ever brought to bear against an enemy in history.

Semper Fidelis!

Megaman is like a rare Matisse painting... It takes some time to understand the workmanship but you know you're holding and wearing a one of a kind timepiece! Thanks for those pictures Uncle Paulie and Uncle Ken. Hey Chris I see one in your future to compliment your YM2!

Yes the Blue Angel is a veeeerrry sweet piece. But the blue really pings and makes much more of an impact in better light.

Here's a couple of mine

Megaman...

That's a beautiful watch indeed, I'm not a white gold person but I must admit it!
