New WOE Article

Interesting read about the watch culture on the pointy end of things.

Looking forward to the upcoming Sangin Special Projects EOD myself.

The releases do sell out fast tho, downside of small business and popular product. Command a premium second hand because they are cool, and Rule No. 1 ALWAYS applies...๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿค๐Ÿป

Part of me is glad Jacob and his wife and the whole Sangin Crew are doing well.

It's ironic that over the last several years I've moved from going after a "luxury" to going for a Sangin Neptune.... bwahahahaha ๐Ÿ˜!

Gonna be pretty cool to see what else they do moving forward, now that they've gained a fanbase.

The last release had a faraday cage and LJP movement regulated in house.

Yes, but when I took a look at their website, I realized itโ€™s all sold out and it is uncertain when the production will be renewed..

I'd recommend signing up for their newsletter and follow their Instagram. New releases do go fast.

This is nice! In my search for local watchmakers here in Maryland, I came across Hager Watch Company in Hagerstown MD. They have a model that was issued to the Secret Service. Maybe not CIA level, but still pretty cool.

Definitely.

I have seen one first hand, being worn by an agent nonetheless. Looked quality.

That's so cool. I also learned that they do a watch show. I may have to go this year ๐Ÿ˜. Random Rob was there last year and they dropped G-Shocks off the top the building to test them ๐Ÿคฃ.

That would be a watch meetup up to go to! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Take pics and share on here, so those of us who live in the boonies can live vicariously ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Also, me just being me, I'd wager the actual writer of Watches of Espionage might still live in the greater VA/MD area...๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿค๐Ÿป๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป*

I'm guessing Arlington Virginia. Quick access to the CIA, FBI and the Pentagon. ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ‘€
