Paulie/Ken, that's just cruel. Beautiful pictures of gorgeous watch = empty watch funds! I vote we change moderator titles to "Pushers".

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!

Pardon my ignorance, would that be the 18K WG Sub or did Rolex make one in SS? If they did what would be the model number and would it be hard to get and how much would it be in the used market? I think I am in love!

PS-Excuse my poor shot just taken in my office! Need to get a few nice outdoor shots this weekend...
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).

I'm with you on this one Mike. There has to be a way pledge members can ban some moderators. This is just atrocious! Look at what they (mods) have done to our dear friend and nephew Dino! They pushed him over the edge. Where is Steve (Lol-x) at during all this ruckus? I even see Rob has made some guest appearances here an there! Ridiculous!
