Rolex Datejust On A NATO Strap
James who is a Captain from the United Kingdom's Cavalry sent in this fascinating photo with the following note:
Hi Jake,
I've been a big fan of Jake's Rolex World Magazine for ages.
I'm an Officer in the British army in a unit called the Household Cavalry. I was recently on a fairly eventful and action packed Operational Tour to Helmand Province in Afghanistan.
I took a photo of my Oyster Perpetual Day Date, silver striped face, with a black webbing strap. I thought that it looked quite smart. Anyway, a great watch, I've worn it not-stop for the last five years, and it has seen some hard hits. Assault courses, ambushes, fire-fights.
I also own an 18k yellow gold Submariner–needless to say, I don't wear that one in the army, shame, I think it would make quite an amusing photo.
Keep up the good work with the site.
Best Regards,
Captain James XXXXX
The Household Cavalry
United Kingdom
