Circa @1989 Lemania powered (omega 861) Sinn 903 aka the real successor to the 806.

Love your Zenith Pilot and Benrus Sky Chief!

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”.

This one is longer mine but anyway...

home made from parts sourced a variety of places; still working on a style appropriate strap

Does it count if one part of the watch has actually been in space - or more appropriately put - come flying in from space?

My heavily flown Seiko 6309-7049 automatic...purchased new in 1987 during U.S. Navy primary pilot training. 👍

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:

 

[George.A]

Hamilton G.S. and 6B

 

[Fritz]

Bremont!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh.... too much.... stop it!

 

[Mad Dog]

My heavily flown modern Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch. 👍







LATE ENTRY: Ridiculous bonus pics below taken from inside the modern Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch presentation box...and the lid fully closed with an MD-88 inside...which is freaking FANTABULOUS! 👍
