Minuteman Watches: Military Style Built In The USA
The original idea behind Minuteman watches (quite appropriately named) was for the pieces to be assembled in the United States by disabled war veterans. It was a good idea, given that disabled veterans are a laudable group to work with/benefit, and it is a great goal to give even a few who are out of work, work. Minuteman tried to work with an organization that deals with disabled veterans, but it didn't work out. I think it was pretty nasty. Nevertheless, Minuteman did not want to abandon the idea of making watches here in the US. So the end result is that some portion of the sale of the watches will go to a charity that benefits disabled veterans, and the watch will be produced in Ohio by LUM-TEC.More specifically, for the first round of production, a percentage of the profits (not sure how much) will go to the Gary Sinise foundation (I have to wonder if that has to do with the fact that he played a disabled veteran in Forest Gump). After that I think the brand will evaluate how well

Question on Dial - 1680 Sub (s/n 3.06 Million)

The watch appears to be in exellent original condition in all respects, but I have a couple of questions about the dial and whether it is likely original, an (older?) service replacement, or something else. The visual background on the dial is that it is an even matte black with very neat, crisp lume markers that have faded to a somewhat creamy color. It is marked "Swiss - T<25." The lettering is all-white, which is the source of my questions.1. The serial number range clearly is in the red range. Were all Subs in this range "red" or were there white dials as well?2. If this dial would originally have been red, is it possible to assess the approximate date of the replacement dial? (When, approximately, would Rolex stop using dials marked T<25 as in-service replacements? - understanding that there are scenarios that could change that answer, like a NOS dial installed by som

or once again in Rocky & Bullwinkle alternate title fashion: How close is too close?I'm getting the hang of the new camera, and the good & bad features of Photobucket. Now if I could just figure out how to resize without losing details during compression I'd have it licked. Hopefully the members in the photography forum can answer a few questions so I can keep my photos down to less than the size of a billboard without losing the guilloche patterns on the dial.
