·I can’t really take credit for the beautiful match between camo ballistic nylon and a late fifties compressor cased Lorenz (it came like this from the previous owner), but who am I to break up a perfect unison.
Grade: F
No use trying to camouflage yourself from the fish. They'll still see you.

·Not my watch or photo (my regular civilian one is still a work in progress), but these absolutely should be worn on velcro.
That was the issued BUND velcro anyway. This is a perfect velcro. I think, I still have one somewhere.....

·Thingies you put on your feet to swim faster
And to be pedantic, those pictured are swim fins as opposed to diving fins, so would hardley warrant a dive watch. However a PO with orange rubber may not fall foul of the rules being factory issue.

·I shall submit to being graded on today's watch. 1960 Longines Conquest on a tobacco ostrich strap.
Grade: C-
Ostrich always looks off to me. Those large pores where the feathers were create an uneven, asymmetric look that distracts from the watch. I prefer a leather with a uniform grain.

·Grade: F
Normally you'd get an F for putting leather on a diver, but since that thing is not even waterproof, you instead get an F for wearing a broken watch.
