Best watch for pilots?

Sounds like a fine watch. I've had offers of thousands of dollars for
the Breitling and one of these days I'll let it go I guess. It has an
E6B outer and inner bezel that I've never used. The thing weighs a ton.

I pondered a Rolex Submariner, but decided that $6K for a watch was
overdoing things. The Breitling is probably in the same class.

The Citizen has an E6B bezel, too; I use it occasionally, just to remind
myself how. I'm not sure it's big enough to be usable in flight, though. The
watch would weigh a ton if I'd gotten the stainless version, but, instead,
it weighs about the same as a significantly smaller Citizen Eco-Drive in
stainless I bought a decade ago. It's pretty comfortable.

It's funny. I don't even wear a watch any more. Both are upstairs
gathering dust. Come to think of it, I'm gathering some dust myself :-)

Just double click in the lower right hand portion of your desktop, it has
all sorts of features.

If anyone ever doubted that Anthony Atkielski is a troll, this should
convince you, once and for all.



I resent that. There's no way we'd ever let him into the lodge.

Feel free to use a wall clock.

And unlike Anthony it will be right twice a day.

A Cuckoo clock seems fitting.

I doubt these choices would fulfill the desired purpose.

The OP is not a pilot, but simply pretends with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
A Cuckoo Clock would be perfect
for his purposes.

If he was a pilot, we wouldn't have to read his postings, as one of his
recent flights ended 'tragically.
