Indeed, some of their models also carrying seal logo. Thus, if there is no endorsement from us navy and if they dont supply watches to us navy, doubt they can associate themselves with it. Navy will have sued them for misrepresentation or passing off. I passed by pentagon once, even from a distant, bus driver warned us specifically not to take pentagon building when the bus is approaching it. So you can see how sensitive they are.
Be that as it may, i do reckon that these are all afterall part of their marketing gimmicks. Well, i for one do fall for it. Watches with their own story, be it panerai with italian navy, omega speedmaster moon watch, ball us train station watcher so on and so forth.
Anyway, i have been telling myself not to buy any 'miscellaneous brands" these days. But i couldnt help it but grabbed one luminox when i found it. The 24 hours bright little tube is very handy during any long haul flight or when you wanna find out time without disturbing others. A truly watch which is value for money and it costs only a fraction of ball.
