Breitling Chronospace

Keeps great time, Tritium shines like crazy in the dark, multiple time zones, alarm, timer, etc, leather band is more comfy to me

Yeah, a rubber watch might have more features but then again I've worn this watch on every F-16 mission and SWA flight thus far and plan on giving it to one of my kids (yes, you can let the Pulp Fiction quotes fly now).

I've got some silver watch that I picked up for $30. Couldn't tell you what brand it is without looking, and I just don't care enough to do that. Company said I have to wear a watch, so I bought one to put on with the monkey suit. Good luck finding it on my wrist if I'm not in uniform.

Me or the watch??

Bought the watch in 1992 in Nassau. Don't think they make this model anymore. Originally my Casio kept better time. Sent it in for sched mx in 1998 (cleaning, tritium, etc) and they happened to put one of their new tech movements in. Now it loses maybe 2" per month.

Me-same as Jack Benny...39!

Fossil watch I picked up at an outlet for $20. Couple of scratches but still comes off nice.

Breitling B2 (got this for the old man but he had passed away 2 years before. I always wanted him to have a good pilot watch. He always wore a Casio G-Shock.)

Bottom line: don't wait to live life. I should have got it for him years ago but spent the money on a Tag for myself. Anyway, I'm keeping it to give to my daughter for her commissioning...

I wear a Tag Heuer 6000

To the PNCL Captain...Thanks. Hope you make it to Emirates and I'm glad to know those Indian FOs you've worked with impressed you with their hard-work, knowledge, and professionalism.

Tissot that was a high school graduation present. When it breaks or batter runs out, some walmart cheapy that fits in fine.

$49 AAFES G-shock. Only 1 time zone.... it runs fast and gains about 2 seconds a week. Same model I was issued in UPT.

I have a decent Seiko Sportura but the dial isn't illuminated well. The g-shock has been a trusty flying companion.
