Team, Let's show our deep appreciation to all that dreamed to fly and those who made this dream possible. On July 20th, we celebrate the 44th anniversary of the first Moon landing. Let's join Francis Albert Sinatra: And let's not forget the true pioneer t...
I can think of little that is more patriotic for a Brit than the JLC Mk11..... And how can any moon landing anniversary go marked without homage to the Omega? ...
Joe, The MK 11 is a true object of desire and the Speedmaster is The Icon. Your Speedy may not be the Moon Watch but it has the Moon on it. Gorgeous. I'm so sorry that I am "Omegaless" those days. Cheers, Nilo
Any serious pilot should be more than proud to wear your wonderful military Hamilton. In case any pilot don't show up, ship to me that I can learn how to fly in no time. Cheers, Nilo
Airplane ever made, the Concorde. Should be a dream to board a Concorde wearing a Rolex GMT. (Picture from Wikiipedia) Is a shame that this is no longer a possibility, at least on the Concorde side. Cheers, Nilo ...
but I was not able to take a flight on that incredible machine. Just to watch it landing or taking off would be good enough for me, but I haven't done it either... ...

... Japanese don't use Chines year but the western calendar system. So, for Japanese, whoever was born during Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of 1965 is "Snake". A bit different. Ken
i never knew that, but always wondered why the Chinese had to have their new year later than ours :) G On 20 Jul 2013 16:39, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* KIH (registered) on July 20th, 2013 - 08:39 > > *Title: Hahaha......

The Yacht Master is a watch for a captain, with its elegant platinum dial and bezel. We are in front of an elegant Submariner, somewhat dressy, and a bit farther from the basic tool. The Type XX platinum / Salmon dial is in the same spirit. Farther from t...
That the XX is a pilot watch. If the platinum is for captains, my SS (W/O date) is for cadets? He he. Does not matter the metal, the Type XX is a great watch. Cheers, Nilo ...

... a lovely sentiment in that post. I also view the moon landing as one of the few events that brings humans together as one. It's a pity the dia del amigo idea didn't spread further; we could all do with that. So happy friends day, Abel. Warm regards, A...
