The leaked document from Wikileaks for GTMO threat indicators.


" (U//FOUO) The possession of a Casio F-91W model watch and the silver-color version of this model, the
A159W, is an indicator of al-Qaida training in the manufacture of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). A
JTF-GTMO identified the Casio watch as “the sign of al-Qaida, [which] uses the watch to make bombs.”
The Casio was known to be given to the students at al-Qaida bomb-making training courses in Afghanistan,
at which the students received instruction in the preparation of timing devices using the watch.
Approximately one-third of the JTF-GTMO detainees that were captured with these models of watches
have known connections to explosives, either having attended explosives training, having association with
a facility where IEDs were made or where explosives training was given, or having association with a
person identified as an explosives expert."



 


At one point, the F-91W acquired a nickname of the ‘Taliban Special’. The reason is said to be that the watches were so cheap, sturdy and reliable, terrorist organisations handed them out to all recruits, additionally utilising them as bomb timers.

It’s said that for a long time, passing through an airport while wearing one of these watches increased the likelihood of a ‘random’ search tenfold. It’s also said that purchasing a quantity of these timepieces in bulk was a great way to land yourself on a federal watch list.

The only watch I could wear when I was an electrician and electronics tech.

Same here, bench tech for 12 years. No rings either, metal has a tendency to weld itself to a current source

We should do a group buy and see if they are still paying attention. ;)
