Default Letter FROM Santa!

Have a Citizen Navihawk in use now for several years. Analog+digital (dual)
time, several useful options. Not cheap but I can recommend it.

The dude offered to leave a "pilots" watch under the tree for me!

But need to know what would be most suitable!

What should I suggest! (brand / model etc. )

I got the same watch as a gift from my wife 7-8 years ago (Blue Angels
edition) I think she paid $250 for it - classy looking watch and not
too "wannabe" looking **thank god** but the rotating flight computer
bezel is totally unusable IMO. I have the analog set to local time and
the digital set to Zulu time.

I have the Eco-drive SKYHAWK Citizen. It performed poorly until I got
glasses.

I have the Blue Angels edition of that watch. I love the fact that you
never have to replace the battery. Also, the ease with which you can
change time zones without changing the zulu time dial is great.

I too have the Blue Angel edition of the Skyhawk Eco-Drive and I am
happy with it.

"I have the Blue Angels edition of that watch".

This one seems to best bang (or "tick)" for the buck...

I don't care for the blue/yellow thing, but from the pix I
have, I think it would be easier to read the bezel, (white on blue)
than the all metal surface of the standard model..

Anybody like to comment on this?

Thanks to all who responded!

Dave
