Should I get the 5 or 8 inch gold Mercedes necklace?

The March of Timex

Maybe you can track a pilot's career by the succession of wristwatches worn.
The USAF issued me a "hack watch", but I soon bought an Accutron at the BX (remember? the one with a tuning fork inside). TDY to Guam yielded a self-winding Seiko, with all the buttons and dials. As an airline S/O, I had one of the new "digital" watches, accurate to the second. When I made F/O, I upgraded to an "Ironman" and simulated jogging. The left seat paid enough to justify a Timex "Messenger" with a built-in pager, for sitting reserve. Retired now, I have a cheap Armitron, with easy-to-read numerals. But come to think of it, why do I need a watch at all?

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

 

[MK82Man]

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

Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk. Great looking watch and performs wonderful. Very reasonably priced. I bought mine here:

For running and for wearing everyday, I love my Timex Ironman.

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...

The watch you don't have to take off to get through security.

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.....

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.

^^^^^^^^^ Winner!!! ^^^^^^^^^^

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.
