It's heavy, I have to wind it, and it's always a possible loss of thousands of dollars if misplaced or stolen. Pilots just don't need these anchors on their wrist any more; not with modern time technology. I have a digital that keeps absolutely perfect time. I think it cost me 20 bucks years ago. DH But Dudley, the fancy "pilot watch" is part of the uniform (costume?) You can't call yourself a real pilot if you don't have The Watch. You know, one of those expensive, multi-faced hunks of unobtanium with a built in ELT that makes women swoon and lesser pilots envious. That's what the stuffed Teddy Bear I always carried with me was for. Absolutely. Can't fly without one. Mine's missing both his ears and has quite a bit of crud on him, but he's kept me alive to date! Bertie |
