Above the #arcticcircle and below the #mediterraneansea; hanging from a SPIE rig a mile or more off the ground; through a dozen or more countries! I continued to wear it when I returned to civilian life. Until one day ?the seal inside corroded and let water in while swimming with my 9-month-old son in #Scotland in February. I took it to a watchmaker, who said it couldn\u2019t be fixed because of the water damage. So, unwilling to just throw it away, I put it in a drawer. Flash forward to last week.
