You know british used to issue rolex to their divers? singapore only hamilton.. battery one somemore..

The US Navy issued Blancpain 50 Fathoms in the 1950s-60s before switching to the JLC divers. Just a strange question is this, if Blancpain ceased operations in 1932 and was only revived in 1982 by Jean-claude Biver of Swatch, how the heck were the 50 fathoms supplied?!!

[feilong108]

Maybe Blancpain simply supply to the military only...not for cilvilians?hehehehe...me lousy in history lar...and hor non-pro in watches...can any of the Gurus provide further insight into this issue that Bro Toffeesthings have brought up?

[leslie]

Wah lau! You all really 'zou huo ru mo' already! Haha, thanks for the company too. I'm rushing some work and gotta spend the whole night up. Good to have all your responses to keep me perked up!

Adding on to what Bro Leslie suggested, yeah, I reckon Bus Drivers really need watches to time their schedule and journey, given the hectic rush hour crunch. If give them 55mm B-uhr, can also use as a weapon to whack ah-sia kia, fighting uncles, quarelling aunties and cover naked ladies. Not bad eh?

Maybe SBS and SMRT assign Azumith to make the 55mm B-UHR.. B-UHR = Bus-UHREN.. hahaha.. with papee logo..

Haha, no need expert advice lah. All fake/Chiong one! Hmmm...now wondering if Mindef modifies the ROD watches for various army vocations, I wonder what types of watches will be given.
Here' my silly thoughts:
1. Pilots: Obviously pilot watches like IWC or Brietling lah
2. Divers: Obviously dive watches...but...
3. Engineers: IWC Ingeniuer ah?
4. Armour: AP ROO Survivor (one tough looking monster)
5. Clerk: Tissot T-Touch to appear busy?
6. Storeman: Vulcain cricket alarm to wake them up from naps, just in time for last parade.
7. Driver: Tag Hueur Monaco, no argument
8. Cook: Zenith El Primero Chrono watch to time their cooking to 1/10th Second, basket, the army food either mushy mushy nuah nuah one or eggs are overcooked, hard like stone!
9. Sniper: Use this new brand called Synper, cool looking but damn overpriced
10. Scout: No watch, they should be able to tell time by looking at the sun!
