What a rotten sport.
So many beautiful pieces and the chance to only give one like. There ought to be an OF rule on this “one watch, one post”.

I've bought a lot of pilot watches, but now I own four:

The one I flew with for 20 years:

Two custom Bremonts:

Bremont MBIII F/A-18C

BREMONT ALT-1Z US Navy Test Pilot School

And a custom watch modeled after the A-13 8 Day clock in many airplanes:

Here's a rundown of what I have bought and sold:
