Episode 7: Military Watches Deep Dive

We go deep on military watches. We start by giving an overview of military watches, then chat affordable military watches to collect, tips for collecting watches from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF), the Argentine FAP, French Marine Nationale, and others. Then, we talk our military watch 'grails.' Enjoy episode 7, and let us know which areas of collecting we should do deep dives on next!
