I'm with you Jay. I have a Brietling vintage pilot's chronograph
sitting upstairs unused now for over 40 years. 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.

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!
