Funny story. A couple years ago, I was sitting at a steakhouse bar, enjoying a stiff drink, waiting for a table, and a retired Army Ranger (Vietnam) was sitting next to me and noticed my Rolex. He proceeded to show me his (that didn't come out right): a 1960s no-date Sub that he had purchased new before he enlisted. It had the most amazing patina I've ever seen on a mechanical device...this thing had seen some chit! Anyway, he proceeded to show me his Rolex bar fighting technique. In the heat of battle, he used to take it off his wrist and hold the band in his fist, such that he was using the face of the watch as brass knuckles!!! HAHAHAHHA! I nearly fell off my bar stool laughing!!!!
