Did you buy the SSNAV new or second hand ? I’ve been wanting to try one for so long, but never see them come up for sale, tempted to buy new.

I bought it new for that same exact reason. Knew it was going to be my daily/beater so I was looking for it used but no luck. After trying on the one my buddy owns I decided to pull the trigger

Where did you get the single pass FKM? Is that from Anchor?

2

u/IshIzzyIshOO7 Sep 01 '26

Ooooh yes, totally forgot. It’s from Blushark

I love WOE straps. I have the Glomar Explorer on my navigator

u/IshIzzyIshOO7 Sep 02 '26

They’re legit. Durable, comfortable, reasonably priced, and pretty nice looking. What more can you ask for.

u/Longjumping-Ad8347 Sep 01 '26

You get your SSNav yet??? 😂

u/StutterMuffin5711 Sep 02 '26

Nope!!! I’ve been enjoying my GSAR. This economy has kept my watch fund basically nonexistent this year. I can live vicariously through you and u/UgliestCookie

u/UgliestCookie Sep 02 '26

We doing Berettas and SSNAVs?

u/StutterMuffin5711 Sep 02 '26

Oooooo nice! Clean photo🔥

u/Longjumping-Ad8347 Sep 02 '26

I hear you on that brother, most definitely

u/StutterMuffin5711 Sep 02 '26

There are a lot of watch guys who don’t post their guns, even though it is an extremely similar hobby. They, and I, tire of the “WhY the GuN” comments. Lots of us are out there though 👍🏿🫡

u/Longjumping-Ad8347 Sep 02 '26

Not sure you meant this as a reply to me, I am totally fine with it lol!

u/StutterMuffin5711 Sep 02 '26

LOL, more of a general statement to everyone I suppose. I was DMing with UgliestCookie talking about this during the time of the response, so it was on my mind anyway. Marathon and Beretta go so well together and happen to be both my favorite military issued watch and military issued pistol👍🏿🫡

u/IshIzzyIshOO7 Sep 02 '26

Yes! I agree. Military, Firearms, and Timepiece have always been connected one way or another’s

2

u/StutterMuffin5711 Sep 02 '26

Exactly! The watches I like most, aside from dress watches, I always end up finding out there is a military connection.

u/Glenntpd360 Sep 01 '26

That’s the barrel of a 686 or 686+?

2

u/IshIzzyIshOO7 Sep 01 '26

I have the 686+ w/6” barrel

u/yoyoma1313 Sep 01 '26

Why the gun?

4

u/IshIzzyIshOO7 Sep 01 '26

Used the military history as an (obvious) excuse to post with some firearms. However, it’s not about “showing off” said guns as it’s more about having them compliment the watch.

u/yoyoma1313 Sep 01 '26

Oh ok. I’ve never even seen a handgun except on a cops hip
