@Lou P that is such a cool story about your Dad's watch. Wearing this one on a sunny day here in San Diego. Sorry guys, but it's awesome outside.
...bought this today in the countryside (Klöter Auktionen) near Stuttgart and met a watch-collecting friend with his old Lotus rgds - h.u.
Negatory...I had no run-ins with any characters from "WKRP in Cincinnati"...I had run-ins with lots of characters...but no famous characters.
This is seriously one of the nicest cases. I never get bored of looking at mine and admiring the surface angles and reflections...
Nice Speedy...and nice gauges in the background. I wish we had glass like that [I fly the MD-88/90 at Delta] so we have a combination of small [old] glass and steam gauges. I'm guessing you're at British Airways based on your OF name. There seems to be quite a few pilots here...I think we should have our own OF "pointy end" sub-forum...where we can talk about..."pointy end" stuff.
