Good morning Forum! An unexpected day off as Thing 1 (son) is home with the annual back to school sniffles. Signs of Autumn’s approach are starting to show here in Portland, ME.
Oh, what a lovely blue bezel you’ve developed over your 60 years 😎 ! - 1st generation Eterna Matic Super-KonTiki Ref. 130 IPT/A - cal. 1424UD from 1962.
Cool beans…flying with another watch dude today…and he’s wearing his USAF issued Marathon/Gallet and Co. It was issued to him in 1992 when he transitioned to the USAF ANG to fly the KC-135. He had transitioned from the USA where he flew the AH-1 Cobra and was NOT issued a watch…which made me feel [somewhat] better since I was NOT issued a watch when I entered service in the USN in 1986…
