It is ok by me since I never had a brother I was from Panama city and he was from Cestview Fl. I asked Bill one day what kind of watch he had on? A Nice Rolex dive watch which had a trident on the band best I remember?. Where you get that? The Seal Teams. Back then no one even really knew much about those guys like today. So, I guess the story checks out that he was given that Rolex. Bill B was just a great guy had a couple pieces of shrapnel in his rear. Is all the damage he got in Viet Nam only to be killed in a plane crash, One night. Wish he was still with us.

Being alone and no chance of finding the others the decision to head for Syria was the only option. 8 days later and several enemy dead Chris Ryan was close to death form exhaustion and dehydration and stumbled on a settlement and hoped it was in Syria, to get help and avoid being taken he produced a solid gold coin to bribe the local man.....he tried to make a deal that he would get another coin when help came, he said it got a little sketchy when the man was insisting on a second coin to make earrings for his wife..

@@jessedavis7555 yea it's obvious that he clearly mixed up his words and misspoke. All these people picking on him for it seem to be using a form of virtue signaling to draw attention to themselves to point out their own knowledge because they're so socially inept that it is the only way they know of to do this. Sad really, all they would've had to do to better accomplish this without looking like a jack@$$ would be to politely point out the mistake, for example ("Did anybody else notice he named a watch that doesn't exist?😂") but that would require better social skills lol

This reminds me of a tip given in a survival manual. Don’t carry gold coins, carry gold rings. If you’re in a situation where you need to bribe someone and you give them a gold coin, it May run through their head that you have more. However, if you offer them the “wedding ring” off your finger, it appears that you’re giving something very dear to you.

Better be Water ( not Resistant ! ) PROOF ! Bought a Sieko watch about 19-70, $75 which was good money back then. Ended up in CBMU-302 Subic Bay, Philippines. Bridge was washed out between Subic and the communication station at San Miguel during typhoon season. We were tasked with repairing it. Continually soaked. Rained for 23 days / nights straight ( rain, drizzle, drenching, misting, whipped, downpours, torrential ). A week in my Sieko stopped (drowned ..."drownt" ?) went to NEX and got a Timex ( $10 ? ). Took a lickin' / Kept on tickin'. Lesson learned... ☆

That's not the point of these watches. They are the man's last and only fashion accessory. Rolexes also appreciates in value pretty ridiculously. In some cases, depending on the model, even much better than gold. Rolexes from the 1980s retailed for $925 USD. Those same watches now sell for $8- $10K. These are heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation after you've worn them. A Rolex will outlive you, your son, and your son's son. It's a small token that your son can remember you by when you pass it down to him. A watch that you wore everyday to work, used it in all your travels, in house projects, etc. When you pass, your son or daughter gets it. He or she wears it for the rest of their life and when they look down at their wrist, it provides a bit of a reflection period for them. This is the case for later descadants of your family as well. Four generations from now, with adjustment to inflation, that $10k watch will be worth $60-70k; easily. History repeats itself. It's exactly what's happened with Rolex since the early 70s. These are obviously NOT purchased to tell the time. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why would you spend 10k to tell the time. 😂 Ridiculous.
