Bold & a bit bulky charm of your 70ies multi-color piece.. And that Omega '53/ Ref 2777 is one of these superb pleasures.. :))

By: mkt33 : March 23rd, 2017-18:04
Hi everyone, Sorry for the late start this week. Work was challenging to say the least. The theme this week will be "Time Flies" Please share a picture of your favorite "flieger" or "pilot" watch! Here is my Vintage Limes Nightflight. 38mm, nice lume, knu...
Thanks for sharing the Rainbow
By: mkt33 : March 24th, 2017-06:21
I guess it can be considered a pilot's watch since it one pilots a boat towards a destination! HAGWE, Mike
Love this Rainbow...

Had one, robbed. After years, got another from a dear friend. Need to wear it much more. Cheers, Nilo ...

This is indeed a beauty! Deserves air time HAGWE
Very interesting Limes

Another brand I will need to look up I only have one pilot's watch and it's a bit different from what you intended, I guess... Still, here goes. For the static a picture I made for my 20th anniversary of acquiring a pilot's license And for the wrist shot ...

The photo is inside a Piper Cherokee Warrior II, which is a regular one I hire. I also regularly fly a friend's De Havilland Chipmunk, which I very much prefer. Clive

When I was young and serving in the RAF in 1960's I was issued with a number of the Omega 1953 Pilot watches (in succession) during my time as a pilot. When I retired from service, I had to give the last watch back! When I saw one for sale by a fellow pur...
Excellent Clive - ciao Nicolas
By: Franco : March 28th, 2017-05:02
Hi Clive it is great to see my old 1953 at your wrist - I have keep three of them for myself, I love them so much! Ciao Nicolas, hope you are doing very well Best wishes Franco
you killed two birds with one stone
By: mkt33 : March 24th, 2017-06:36
I was hoping someone would post a Santos and I thought IWC would be a popular brand for this wristscan theme! I like the legos Warmest, Mike
That is a nice limited edition...

I've seen them perform before. It was a great show But I guess I am biased....I like the Thunderbirds ...
Mike, what a fantastic topic....
By: KIH : March 24th, 2017-05:24
... It was much too long too see you since last time. I looked for the photo of the GTG we met in 2008 or 2009, but couldn't. Instead I found an interesting - not at all good as a photo - pieces, which let me think that time does fly. Both I found, taken ...
It was way too long in between visits
By: mkt33 : March 24th, 2017-06:40
and in all the talking, we forgot to take a photo to commemorate! This means we have to get together sooner. You looked happy and rightly so she takes very good care of you Hope to see you sometime next year in Tokyo. Best, Mike
Oh, yeah! Can't wait for the "next" time!
By: KIH : March 24th, 2017-06:50
It was soooo nice to meet you - let me realize that the time flies and the time has the power to heal certain things. Thank you, Mike.
Ok! Plan Late March /early April 2018

Very nice...
By: mkt33 : March 24th, 2017-10:52
How did you know that the original owner was a pilot? Is it a family piece? I think I would agre with Nicolas...A light tan calf would look nice. Cheers, Mike
Super!
By: Bounce781 : March 25th, 2017-02:07
Love it!
Does this count . . .
By: Dr No : March 24th, 2017-11:13
. . . as a flieger , Mike? Not exactly what first comes to mind - a B-uhr is more like it - but a pilot's watch nonetheless. The one I'd like to have is an RAF '53 Ī© ref 2777. Our prior Omega forum moderator owns a sterling example. [photo and watch credi...
The Omega "counts"

Thank you mkt33.....

the pilot statue welcomes travelers at our City's entrance to the airport. Always fun to take picture Best Edward
Very nice Nico..

Big fan of this particular dial design for the MOD!
I mean
By: dylan61 : March 25th, 2017-04:41
The equivalent dial that Breitling made.. Not sure if it\'s termed a Mark 11
Thanks..
By: dylan61 : March 25th, 2017-18:25
.. For your kind words my friend. Indeed it\'s an under appreciated and less commonly seen watch, and I\'m very happy to have found mine.
Thank you...
By: dylan61 : March 26th, 2017-04:47
For the very kind words my friend! Simply love your very nice collection too.. Cheers!

A modern day commercial airline pilot wearing a Rolex GMT. I love example with the. Beautiful patina. Hagwe, Mike
Thank you so much Mike! Glad you like my GMT!...
By: Subexplorer : March 25th, 2017-06:30
... agree it will always keep its image associated with Pan Am and its pioneering days in jet age and with moden commercial pilots wearing them! Hagwe Mike! Abel
Hm, not really into Pilot watches
By: crown comfort : March 25th, 2017-01:32
Hi Mike, great theme even I'm lacking a bit the right watch for it. However, I take the liberty to interpret it a bit wider and suggest that any of the below Chronographs would be a worthy fit for any pilot. HAGWE, CC ...
Sure why not!
By: mkt33 : March 25th, 2017-02:23
Is that an Olimpico on the last photo? Thanks for contributing this week Best Mike
Thanks, dear HS

big crown
By: jml_watches : March 25th, 2017-03:50
Hi All I'd forgotten that Oris promotes the big crown as a watch used in flying Never really considered it much - just lithe watch Cheers JML ...
Thanks - already had 20 years
By: jml_watches : March 26th, 2017-05:22
So definitely a keeper There's much more competition for wrist time now. Was my first proper mechanical watch - so for first few years was worn pretty much constantly Cheers JML
First flieger
By: Geo : March 25th, 2017-06:25
Originally created in 1904 by Cartier for the aviator Santos Dumont. The re issue in the middle comes very close to the original version. ...
Oh, yes, definitely later - late '20s, if not mistaken. On the other hand, the Santos . . .
By: Dr No : March 27th, 2017-13:15
. . . was intended for pilots, but was it a flieger ? In the notional sense, is what I'm trying to get at. To put it another way, the Santos was primarily a pilots watch at a time when there were few, if any, other categories. Once the field of various ty...
