Picked this up back around October 2009 during a Shop NBC show with JS and Maryanne Chase,it has been the only watch that has seen daily wrist time, has been abused more than any one wristwatch should ever be with constant daily wear.This Strike Force has withstood all kinds of blunt force trauma more times than I can remember,braved the elements,and covered in all kinds of nasty stuff like NLGI #2 grease from the 5th wheel pulling pins during countless drop and hooks,no rotation for this one ,used and abused 5 days a week 14 hours a day.If I could only have one watch, it would be this one without a doubt,it only has T-25 tubes but they are some of the brightest Tritium tubes I have ever seen and the first tube watch ever owned,even the Superluminova on the second hand is on fire during the daytime.

STRIKE FORCE GMT No. 2
Swiss Made. Features UltraGlow - mb-Microtek H3 Tritium gas micro mineral glass tubes on the hands and indexes. The lighting system in the Strike Force is 100 times brighter than most other illumination systems and good for 25 years! Features Swiss made precision Ronda 505.24H quartz dual time GMT movement. Sapphire scratch-resistant crystal. Solid 316L stainless steel case and bracelet with double security clasp. Water resistant to 330ft/100m. Diameter 45mm, thickness 11mm, weight 6.7 oz. Serial numbered. 2-year international warranty. Your choice of bracelet or leather band

These shots ain't petty,but why should they be ,this one has been shown less respect than Rodney.

You've told me about this one, but it's nice to finally see it, Mike. Can't ask for more from a workhorse than that cool CD delivers.
Thanks for sharing that bad boy with us. :up:
 
A very sharp looking piece indeed, Mike. One that has with stood the test of time. :outstand: Thanks for sharing.:up::applaud:
 
Mike, unlike Rodney, you DO have our respect, with your watch posts.
 
yeah... a 1 watch collection ...nice....the rest barbie doll photo ops & play time
 
CD makes very nice watches. I regret selling my Abyss. One of the nicest bracelets on any watch and top notch quality
 
Just WOW! Seven years of constant service! Thanks for the story, and the introduction!
 
Looks great for a beater, your CD has held up well.

Wabi-sabi: the beauty of things imperfect. Nice to see the character marks on there, as each one has a story.
