Aloha ,
I was email a few days ago from a ( Awesome Brother Member on this Forum " ), informing me that He had seen a watch and had
me in thoughts and got it for me and was sending it to me in the post. I contacted him to make sure he sent me the email and he
said he did. He said I want to gift this watch to you for your collection and for your own keeping since you were in Vietnam.
Now :
Every since I have come to join this Forum you all have been very good Forum Partners to have and be with. Now a lot of
people pursue what is called a " Special Watch or even a Grail Watch ", that has to be gotten for their collections.
I am as most of you all know an Vietnam Veteran and I served in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam and that was some where around
going on ( 40 to 45 years ago ), if I am not mistaken. Now this is what showed up in the ..........
( Postal Box as a gift to me from a .... Forum Member on here and I know he is a fine Gentleman also,
and Sir I am .... " Deeply Honored to accept this watch from you ". )
Note:
This Watch is ..." Immaculate Shape ", and it looks like the original owner stored it right after the War when he returned home.
This is " Seiko 6619-8060 Watch ", specially made and assigned to the Military Forces that was in Vietnam mainly to what is called .....
( MACV- SOG Insurgency Special Forces ). The Group was made up of Military people ranging from ..... " American Forces ,
Elite Ranger's of the South Korean Special Forces and some other countries " This Seiko Watch was given out to them for use because
it had a ..... " Bigger Dial Code and be viewed better by the user. From what I have observed this watch is quite hard to find.
This ... is the other issued partner to the Famous ....." Seiko 6119-8100 Watch ". These are for the same issued and use
of the ( Special Category) of the ( 600 Series used and issued in Vietnam also. )
I just wanted to express to this Forum about the awesome people we have on here and are getting as we grow bigger.
I want to thank this special Gentleman for this gift and it is a ..... " Grail To My Military Collection " also now. Thank you Sir for
this special gift and it will be cherished for a long time.
Also Thank you all ..... " Forum Partners for who you are and what you do to make this Forum a place of great time spent and especially
how you make it in the form of many ways to be the best Forums a person could be a part off ".
I really appreciate being a member on this Forum and you all need to know this. You all are a powerful group of people and a great
Forum Community to be with.
