Pilot's watch

[Guest Pop-top]

Best piece of advice I was given to buy a pilots watch; dont get the one with 22 time zones, they dont allow for the CST 9.5 hours as they only do full hours. get one with 40+ time zones.

 

But while we are on the topic of watches...Has anyone seen a smaller or female version of the pilots watch coz all the ones I've seen are the size of my fist not my wrist!

Hi Thumper, hows your flying going ?..haven't heard from you in a while, or is it me who's been away.......don't know much about girls'...........watches, so sorry can't help you there........................................

Hey Maj Millard, Yeah I haven't been on the forums much lately. Been very busy with two of my friends weddings, VERY excited to be flying this Sunday afternoon though as it's been a few weeks since my last lesson :)

 

Think I might either need to look for a duel time zone watch as someone suggested or just get a humongous chunky one.

 

Just out of interest is anyone going to Barossa Valley Airshow in Adelaide on the 19th April?

Maj: I have a spare Brietling. Looks like a REAL pilot's watch. One thing though, it was bought in Bali. Very cheap!

You got a picture you can put up.... so we can have a look:thumb_up:

 

If you want to sell it, and it looks good... it could be a race between Maj and I...;)

Dutch Auction

 

Here's a (sort of) photo of the Breitling (I think).

 

 

 

[Guest Decca]

I did it. Uploaded the photo that is. There's always a first time for computer dummies. Just have to remember "how to" for the next one.

 

Apologies for the photo quality. And I'm waiting for Admin to call back so I can reqest approval for a Dutch Auction on the Breitling chronometer to raise some more funds for the Rec Flying Scholarship and/or Fire Victim appeal. Don't know if there will be too much interest in a copy watch, but worth a try. It must need a new battery too 'cause it's not ticking.

 

Regards, Decca.

Have a look at this Skylines Aviation Supply - Moorabbin

 

Not a bad watch for the price, although i was lucky enough to have the whole family tip in and buy me Citizen Promaster, which on last check Gee Bees at essendon airport had on quite a good special.

 

Cheers

I could be interested...

 

Is it in good order, other than not ticking!! such as cosmetically?

 

 

[Guest Decca]

Tomo it's cosmetically near perfect. Great pose value.

 

Let's get it past Ian first, then if it's not a goer you can order one from anyone you know heading to Bali or Singapore for the price of a pocket full of small change, brand new too, wrapped in a cellophane pack.
