Custom US Naval Academy Reunion Watch by Axia

My Naval Academy class (1985) is celebrating our 40th reunion this fall in Annapolis. To commemorate this event, our class president arranged the following watch to be made for our class.

I’m a Rolex guy through and through, but this doesn’t seem awful.
