Graham Chronofighter Oversize Navy SEAL Foundation Limited Edition Watch
"The only easy day was yesterday," is the motto of the US Navy SEALs. The watchmaking industry can identify with that. The goal of haute horlogerie is to improve with every passing second. It is not concerned with life and death in a literal sense, but it is responsible for the recording of time, which governs all things. With the release of the Graham Chronofighter Oversize Navy SEAL Foundation Limited Edition watch, Swiss watchmaker Graham honours and supports this?famous division of the US armed forces.

Ones a 3590 from 1996 no box, last of the Tritium dials and the other is a 2012 3570 with full kit. The 3590's a few hundred dollars cheaper. I'm leaning towards that one as I like the aged look. But wanted to know if anyone had some strong opinions either way.
