There ya go.  Nor have I.  I guess the most accurate USN pronunciation of
"submariner" is "bubblehead" (or something obscene). 
Watch collectors, and Rolex-wearers, no doubt, are a little more classy
.  I myself favor a Citizen Eco-Drive (solar-powered) chronograph.
 Being a QM, I like clocks: I have a wind-up ship's bell clock, a
weight-driven (as opposed to a motor) Black Forest cuckoo clock, and even a
salvaged USN wind-up 24-hour clock.

On an almost-unrelated note, I have been getting a god-awful amount of spam
offering to sell me Rolexes.  The latest idea, I guess, and everyone copies
it.
