Authentic
US Military Vets MC, Olongopo Watch Band
(PLEASE READ ORDERING AND AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL FOR ORDERING WATCH BAND)
SEE INSTRUCTION BELOW

For US Military Vets MC club Patch Holders ONLY....

Those who served in the US Military in the Far East in the 70’s and early 80’s will remember these much sought after stainless steel Olongapo watchbands which were worn by US Special Forces and those GI's lucky enough to get their hands on one. These were rugged bracelets, customized with unit insignia or other badges. These quickly became the mark of an American GI.

It has taken a few years to track down the source as manufacturing ceased after the closure of the US Naval Base in Subic Bay in the early 90’s.  I actually found Mr. Jaffy Jurado in the Philipines and now he is more than happy to produce these for Patch Holders of the USMVMC for a special discounted price of $80 plus $25 for shipping and handling.

I now offer the authentic Olongopo Watch Band to our brothers in Eagle Nation.....
These watches are numbered from 001 and up...
They can also be inscribed if you wish

(Watch Not Included)

These are a few of the sample unit/branch badges that you can have put on the other side of the watch band. He has others from Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

Other Samples; not limited to what you see.. these are all custom made for the individual.....

One side has the USMVMC on it and the other any branch or design you want...

IMPORTANT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

For those interested in ordering the Authentic Olongopo Bracelet this is the Authentication Protocol that must be followed. Mr. Juardo will not sell these to anyone who is not a Patch Holder of the
US Military Vets MC.

You must have your Treasurer or Front Table Officer send me an email to sales@usmvmc.net with your Road Name, email address and Chapter. Once I check to see if the email is authentic I will forward that information to Mr. Juardo and he will contact you via email directly. All arrangements for the customization of your watch band from that moment on will be made with him directly cutting out the middle man.

We aren't making any money on this; I am bringing this to you so that we have a piece of history. These beautiful watch bands usaully sell for well over $125. plus shipping and handling, but we are doing this so that you all can take advantage of the low $80 price plus $25 for secure shipping and handling that Mr. Juardo graciously extended to our Club.... This price is for the Liberty Eagle watch band only (including whatever branch insignia you want on the other side)... other bands from his inventory will sell for a higher price.

It is recommended that you use a fine quality watch for your watch band
