Lovely Sherpa Graph there Faz. 👍
But "liked" especially for the (Cuff? / Bund?) strap. 😉
I remember my Dad rocking something similar back in the Seventies. 😎
I'm thinking of trying one on my Movado Datron but 18mm seems a tall order in itself.
On top off which I'm a very fussy bugger when it comes down to small styling details. 🙄
I "liked" your pic and I love the watch - but please stop calling it "bomb squad". The Swedish army issued Lemania Tg 195 was never used by any bomb squad. It was used by the artillery - of all sorts - big and small.

Thanks!
I was just quoting what I've heard around the forums (MWR and woundforlife.com). I don't doubt that you are correct about it being artillery. In fact, I'd take your word first!
Here's a few places where the terms 'bomb squad' and 'demolitions unit' were used:

The TG has nothing to do with Bomb Squad though. One of those urban / eBay legends with absolutely nothing to it.
It was used by Swdish military officers and perhaps artillery officers in particular.
Sweden was and mostly is a peaceful country. They had no such thing as an organised bomb squad back in 58.
Lovely watch anyway!!
