Now, to further "sweeten" the conversation, there is a modern TIMEX approved military>&

watch. Here is a link from a post in 2009, picturing the model that was approved for wear by US military. Dorsey H. first uncovered this one and I followed up by purchasing one. Check out the link:

You can do a search on "timex military approved watch" (leave out the quote marks, of course) and read the full post from DorseyH.

Thanks for looking!
