Currently i’m living in Tokyo, and purposely take metro/bus sometimes just to do the same observation. A bit different to what you’ve found in HND (may be driven by the social class?), I saw only Rolex, Panerai and digital watches.

How about your pilots, what are they wearing?
Depending on pay

Heathrow and Paris-Charles De Gaulle

I might start working LHR and CDG flights soon would like to see what people wear in those markets. I have only seen one UN coming off a flight it was a yellow gold marine yet to see independents like you mentioned. Thank you reading and sharing your expe...
Great post, Gary!
