But the size of the watch is inverse to the size of the
pilot's package.

| Or get what I got for $20 on the street in NYC. It's a
pilot watch, or at
| least looks like one: Big, heavy, chrome, with a rotating
bezel with all the
| E6B stuff on it, lots of dials, etc. Perfect for
impressing the girls...
| Except the E6B bezel has both scales on the rotating part.
They don't rotate
| relative to each other. Just a sham. Still it impresses
the ladies. "Are you
| a real pilot?" "Sure, just look at my watch." I always
wear it when I'm not
| with other pilots. Not bad for $20.

| | Hi. I am a bit confused. I saw this watch on Amazon
and a
| reviewer
| | states it is not a real EB6:
| |
| | "The E6-B rule bezel is incomplete, however
operational.
| For a perfect
| | calculation, you must have a "mirror" of the main
| functions of the
| | rule bezel printed within the watch, just like any
| Jeppesen Computer.
| | Although I knew this when I bought the watch, it's
still
| important to
| | mention that. There are watches in the market with a
| complete E6-B
| | rule bezel."
| |
| | for this watch:

| |
| | But I've looked at other watches, like the one I want,
and
| the "slide
| | rule" seems the same on all of them:

| |
| | I want a real EB6; what am I missing? Is this guy
right?
| Is the
| | latter watch true EB6? How do you tell?
| |
| | Thanks a lot....
