Always wanted Rolex sub with broad arrowhead. Too rich for my taste.No. 1918 WD British Government contract with the arrow on the back. It has the shrapnel guard on the face.

Did the British Military issue Rolex Subs with Pheon’s? Special forces?Always wanted Rolex sub with broad arrowhead. Too rich for my taste.
From what I understand, divers and SBS get early ones. Then they used Tudor. But, I'm not really big into watch. Just like sub.Did the British Military issue Rolex Subs with Pheon’s? Special forces?
I wonder where he hid that watch ... sorry Pulp Fiction flashbacks.I have no idea. I just thought that James Bond was the only one who got blinged up with a Rolex! I know that aircrews got a watch that was about the size of a Tudor Oyster 3/4 size but these were all collected up at the wars end and destroyed by running a steam roller over them. One of my school friends 45 years ago had one given to him by an Uncle who was in a POW camp so he was not around when they were collected up. It had the WD and arrow on the face which was black if I remember correctly. It might have been made by Smiths but I am sure there is a watch expert on here who would know far more than myself.
Somebody that is a watchmaker can explain exactly why, but when a watch begins running about ten minutes a day fast a tiny spring has slipped over a post in the movement and the fix is easy, for a watchmaker.I've got a Seiko black monster that uses the same 7S26 movement as the 5 series. Been a great watch with unbeatable lume. It's given me years of daily wear but now needs a new movement. It runs really really fast, gaining over 10 minutes a day. I'll probably swap a newer Seiko movement into the case.
