IMO most of the Breitlings are huge and clunky with very busy dials. The one exception is the Aerospace...a very sleek looking watch with great functionality and no dorky E6B.

The GMT is a true classic but frankly doesn't have the functionality of the Aerospace. I collect Rolexes but I would never wear one to work just because I don't want to ding 'em up.

I do have a like new two tone Sub for sale. PM me if you're interested...
 
Swatches are comming back. Dont forget to purchase the Swatch Guard. My Transformer watch always cought the honeys eyes. 3rd grade was so much fun.


When I was younger those things were really in. Not only did everyone in school have one with the guards, but would wear several on each arm...
 
I have since cast off the chains of capitalism and sport a Timex Ironman I got for 29.95 from Walmart. It has a timer and can keep track of multiple splits as I am running.

I feel much better now... ;) TC

Cast off the chains of capitalism by shopping at Walmart??? Hmmm.....

Walmart is downright merciless with their overseas suppliers. Right now some poor kid/mom is slaving away for peanuts so we can buy a pair of socks for 50 cents at Walmart. Not to mention all the mom and pop stores that have been shuttered thanks to the Walmart Juggernaut. scr$w walmart.....
 
Breitling Navitimer, Omega Speedmaster, or Rolex GMT Master. End of story.

Go to the web site for each and re-live some of the golden days of aviation. The Breitling web site is very good. Wearing any of the three for your day-to-day watch is a real joy. Have a $30.00 Timex Ironman for running


You guys are out of your minds spending this money for a freakin' watch!!! It tells time. That's it...

"Don't be cheap" What the hell does that mean? I have to spend 3 grand on a watch to prove that I am a somebody. Whatever...

Perspective people...it's a timepiece. Unless you have absolutely nothing better to do with your money than use it to keep up with your buds. That's my 2 cents.
 
I also have a Timex Ironman with the velcro strap. I had one for 4 years and replaced it with the newer model. The face was more rounded and they added an extra button. It cost about $35 or so. Great watch - digital, indiglo, several timers, alarm, 12/24hr format, etc.

Best feature to me is the ease of strapping and removal.
 
Calculator Super Geek Special

Casio DBC 32 Calc watch! 25 bucks at Walmart, 10 year battery, and will light up automatically when you tilt your wrist. You don't have to take it off thru security either.

No Brainer.
 
Get the polar heart rate monitor watch. It records your heart rate for hours on end. For a good laugh use it while your ladies "legs are in the air" It's fun see what your avg/max heart rate was.

Gotta love another excuse to slip between the sheets.
 
Anyone know the diference between the Breitling Aerospace and the Aerospace Advantage?

BTW - My Breitling B-1 is for sale just in time for the Holidays! Check out the for sale section here.

Baja.

First year pay's a bitch, huh??;)

Go for the Rolex GMT Master II. Don't be cheap.:)


There ya go!

Sure a Casio will keep better time...but I've never heard someone ask, "Is that a real Casio?"

Just like all pilots stop and look up when they hear a radial engine flying overhead, all pilots should wear a pilot watch. The Rolex GMT Master is the pilot watch. Stainless only. Gold is bling.

As for going through security...not an issue. Keep to the left, sign the log, beat the crew to Starbucks.
 
I have an Atomic G-shock..paid 50 bucks for it..it seems to be the choice watch for folks here in the AF. Takes a beating and works perfect..plus perfect time hacks!
 
So...... do you wear that expensive watch in uniform with a pen you stole from the Holiday Inn or Best Western or Double Tree or Hilton?


Why do you need an expensive watch?

I took my Timex off in '03, when I no longer needed it, I got furloughed.

I haven't put one on since.

The hotel pen and no watch takes care of security.

My cell phone always shows the correct local time, and the NAV display has GMT.

One does not "wear" a pen. One writes with it...then tosses it before it leaks all over one's white shirt. Accountants, managers, and salesmen live by the pen. We live by time.



Why do you need an expensive watch?


I don't. I choose one because aviation is an expensive operation. Pilots who own a Beech Model 17 could own a cheaper airplane that flies faster, has better fuel specs, and is cheaper to repair. But they choose that classic aircraft because it is a classic aircraft and provides some sort of connection for them. The same for warbirds.

Add 200 words and send that to Reader's Digest. They'll give you $300!

So does a classic watch and a USP.

My cell phone always shows the correct local time, and the NAV display has GMT.

You're set!

Fly safe.
