My wife got me a Citizen this Christmas nice BIG numbers with for hands

imbeded zulu scale. I like it a lot. Very easy to read (except the
date)under all conditions short of long term total darkness.

I had one like that, wore it out, and can't find another. Who
makes it?

have one for flying instruments.

The Boeings have nice clocks although like you said, they dont get
used much. All the holds are DME based and I cant remember the last
time anyone here timed an approach. I do wear a $30 timex, but thats
just to make sure I show up on time. It is actually a whatch someone
on this list recomended (I knew I wasnt just waisting my time on this
list).

Yeh, I have a Seiko worth maybe 75 that i got as a gift. Mostly for
showing up on time as you say. I still hit the clock passing the marker
every time, though. It's more a spacial awareness type thing now. The
habit comes from giving yourself the ability to revert to a non-
precision if you lost the glide or the ILS altogether or to help you
find the MAP if there was a complete failre. Almost completely redundant
now, but I still do it because it helps my awareness.

And you're left with exactly, what?

The good stuff.

Wow, you guys really filter-out Jay?

Citizen, I got it last Christmas so it may still be in the line, but I
can't find it on their website. They do come and go.

It's a lot like this one.

http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/Engl...180-03E&page=1

but mine has a grey band and the GMT function. The other one they have
like it (and there is a link from that URL) has the GMT on a small dial
and all the chrono functions.

An argument = attack? You wouldn't last long as a scientist.

Science is interesting in how it's approached on occasion. It's so much
what something is as what it isn't.
I believe it was Einstein who, when asked what an atom looked like, once
said,
"Well, I'm not really sure what an atom looks like, but I'm fairly
certain it doesn't look like a cat".
You have to respect a guy with a sense of humor like that :-))

One of my favorite quotations of all time is this. Gregory Peck, when he
had just hit the big time in the early fifties, and his gang showed up
at a fancy restaurant. The Maitre'd informed them it would be some time
before they could be seated. One of his entourage stepped up to the
Maitre'd and said, excuse me, but do you know who this is?" Peck pulled
him aside and said to him "If ya gotta tell 'em who you are, you ain't"
I think of this every time I see a guy with watch with 47 functions on
it.

I think of it every time you and Dudley get in to one of your stroking
sessions.
