My wife spends $40 on a new watch every year, because she buys $40 watches that break every year. Cheap is expensive. Expand You should explain that to her.

Seems he goes to Walmart every 15 months. Meanwhile my Seiko sits in the jewelry box for wearing on special occasions. 1

Expand I’ve never in my life been accused of stolen valor until now. I am not a Marine. Never was a Marine. I have never been in any branch of military. These watches are government issued and are hard to find. I am a watch wearer and appreciate a good quality watch. This was bought for me as a gift. It’s not like I’m wearing this watch and telling war stories. Or going to flea markets to pick up old military uniforms and wear them around everywhere claiming I am or was in the military. I appreciate those that fight fight for this country. And I would never try and steal that glory from someone.

No disrespect or any "deep" meaning was intended. It's a nice "manly" watch.

Expand Oh. Well, I didn’t want to offend or disrespect anyone who has ever served in our military. I thought maybe you were accusing me of that. Maybe I jumped the gun a little quickly. Yeah, I’m manly enough to wear that watch. I’ve got bigger, and beefier watches that make this one look like a kiddy watch.

Probably China. http://www.thewatchforum.co.uk/index.php?/topic/115464-big-cat-country-caterpillar-watches/ . "...In addition to products made by Caterpillarthemselves, the corporation also sells the right to others to manufacture, market and sell products that are branded Caterpillar to licensees, and these outrider companies include Wolverine World Wide, a licensee since 1994 and responsible for all Caterpillar branded footwear. Watches have gone the same way, with the brand being licensed by a third party producer, and a bit of additional research has found that the company directly responsible for the manufacture and marketing of Caterpillar brand watches is Time Network Ltd., also called Time Network Swiss GmbH..." 1
