Over $2,000 was raised for the Toys For Tots fund
raiser through the combined efforts of the
Poor-Mans-Watch-Forum and Debaufre Watches. In this
year's PMWF raffle, we donated any production watch
to the winner of the raffle contest to benefit the
Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which of course
donates toys as Christmas gifts to needy children
throughout the US.
As quoted from the PMWF website: "In addition to the monthly contests for October, November & December, the fine, generous folks at Debaufre have made an additional offer in an effort to give something back to the community this holiday season. You get to choose the watch you want from Debaufre's regular product line." This year was a great success, we are glad we could help.

Legendary F-14 pilot receives the Nav-B watch.

At the 2007 Wings Over Miami Gala Event, Alldaron (VP
of Debaufre) met with legendary F-14 Tomcat pilot
Captain Dale Snodgrass to present him with a Nav-B Classic watch.
Dale Snodgrass, known as Captain Dale "Snort"
Snodgrass is the original Top Gun (on whom the
movie "Top Gun" was based), piloting various
prestigious airplanes among them the famed F-14
Tomcat airplane. Dale Snodgrass is of course
still an active pilot and is considered not only
a hero and a legend but also one of the best
pilots alive.
With over 5,000 flight hours and 1,200 plus carrier landings in the famed Grumman F-14 Tomcat, Snort is the most experienced Tomcat pilot in the world and a highly decorated combat veteran. At the end of Desert Storm, then Commander Snodgrass was promoted to Navy Captain and was selected to command all Tomcats in the US Navy.
Capt. Snodgrass joins a very small select group of pilots that are allowed to fly with active duty modern fighters at air shows throughout North America and Europe. He is the only pilot in the world approved to fly in both and Air Force Heritage Flight Program and the Navy Legacy Flight Program.
"Captain Dale Snodgrass, (better known by his call-sign: "Snort"), is a living national treasure and among the greatest fighter pilots of our times. I've flown with Snort, watches him teach and groom generations of fighter pilots, and the way Snort is able to articulate those skills to others is like no one I've ever seen. There aren't many people on this earth that I hold in higher regard than Captain Dale Snodgrass" - Admiral Jay Johnson, (26th Chief of Naval Operations and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Clinton and Bush). - View Story with photos.
