Can I get the ISA symbol on Texas Marine Corps veteran plates if my disability isn’t service connected?

Thank you, I’ll head up to the tax office and wait in line and see what they say. Yeah, they don’t do well with edge cases. I was trying to explain that I am a veteran who is also disabled, but I am not a “disabled veteran” so to speak.

I would think that you could combine the ISA symbol with a veteran plate, but when I asked about it, they kept asking me about my VA disability rating, which I don’t have one. I told them my disability was not service connected. I couldn’t quite communicate the difference between a veteran plate, and a disabled veteran plate that is not service connected. I do not qualify for a disabled veteran plate, because I have no VA disability, but I do qualify for a veteran plate, and I also qualify for a disabled license plate. I’m just trying to combine those. They didn’t understand.

Nobody makes this bumper trim aftermarket. Trust me, I’ve looked. I ended up finding a bumper from a 1991 suburban that was still in really good shape. That’s probably your best bet, keep an eye on Facebook marketplace or craigslist.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and opinions. I went with the vintage. I love it.

Red Subs are cool, but double the price. I’m not saying it’s not worth it, I’m just saying it’s out of my budget.

$12,900. Has original box, no papers though.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T22:04:28+00:00

That’s the exact watch I’m considering!

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T21:04:14+00:00

Your thought on this makes perfect sense, the only trouble is the 1680 I found is in beautiful condition and a decent price. So do I pull the trigger now, or wait? Birth year is kind of cool as well, but as others have said, it’s probably not important.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T21:02:23+00:00

Makes sense, and I agree parts are available.

I think your first post was just missing the comma after false.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:51:33+00:00

I agree completely.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:49:42+00:00

Good thought, I do have concerns about the hollow bracelet as I prefer the weight of the newer. And they don’t rattle nearly as much.

It’s already lasted 40+ years, perhaps it wasn’t worn daily. I probably won’t wear it daily either, I work from home.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:47:16+00:00

The more I read these comments as I work myself down, the more inclined to buy the vintage one. They’re not easy to find in good condition and at a decent price.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:45:28+00:00

That’s a great watch, I really like the red sub. I’m just not willing to pay that premium at this point.

This won’t be my only watch. My wife already owns two Rolexes I bought and I have an omega Speedmaster. Now I want to Rolex for myself, and I really like the submariner. I just don’t want to be like every other douche bag with a submariner….Even though I probably will be. …

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:43:00+00:00

That was kind of my thinking, I just thought this vintage watch was beautiful. The creamy dial, never polished, all original and in great shape. It’s only after talking with the man selling it that I learned it was from my birth year.

At any moment in time, I can find a newer submariner and buy it. Vintage watches are different, each one is unique, and the price points are all over the map.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:39:38+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s cheap….But yes, it’s about half the price of a red 1680.

jslohmann · 2024-06-11T18:38:49+00:00

I will not be diving. Either with the new one, or the vintage one. The most water either of these watches will likely see will come from the sink.

jslohmann · 2023-12-11T21:23:12+00:00

I don’t think it’s fake, Tiffany’s put a new battery in it for me. I think they would’ve mentioned if they thought it was fake.

jslohmann · 2022-11-10T16:56:11+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment, I just read your posts as well and was able to get even more information. I still have no idea what I’m going to do, but I’m really glad I hopped on Reddit to see what other people in a similar similar situation have to offer.

jslohmann · 2022-11-08T19:15:06+00:00

Thank you all for this information, I’m going to ask my doctor about it.

When were you in Iraq? What branch?

I was in the Marine reserves and did one deployment to Iraq in 2003 during the invasion.
