Watches to wear with your flight jackets...

Pilot,

thanks for the kind words, but we both know that it is just the Ferrari rescue capsule called FIAT 500

Still a great design, with much better leather quality than my BMW Z3's had, but with 7 years and 120.000 km it gets kinda old ...

I get mine from this guy on eBay from his stock of 1944 NOS. he has lots of different colors ranges and charges between $12.95 to $20
just scroll though his items for sale to see 'em all! collect all six and trade 'em with friends! lol!

Thanks for the tip! Mine arrived today, looks good!

Great stuff, Pilot!

Don't the vietnamese give you a "curious" look, when you are going to Saigon or Danang, fully equipped with flight jacket and olive canvas?

Advantages of your job.

I love the Speedy...
To me one of the nicest and most robust Chrono ever made.
Mine went trough a lawnmower once...A lot of scratches, but it still worked...( had it fixed by Omega).
Its the only Chrono I know which is really anti-magnetic.

I have new BK HH A-2. You are right, it is "hard", but i had same problem with 3 Avirex/Cockpit jackets, when they were new.
