Until I saw the pilots, with a cigarette hanging from their lips, steering the thing. Then I decided I didn't want to watch that and instead focused on the puking bankers.
Welcome aboard my dear Watch Loving Friends! As announced, this week end Theme request photographs of your watches relating them with Airplanes. Of course you don´t need to be a pilot or an expert in aeronautics to participate! ) You may post a travel pho...
... let me see what we have ? An aircraft carrier... ... an aerobatic team... ... and various wristshots... ... not to forget my favourite watch, aviation related of course ... Hagwe ^^ - Fred ...
... flying over the french atlantic coast line at low altitude (during a 1996 air show) ... but unfortunately lost them. Anyway, I guess it could have work
Here are some of mine Speedmaster Japan Racing during a Virgin Atlantic flight. Mood lighting makes interesting colors! A recent purchase,the Tudor Black Bay 58. Best regards and merry christmas to all in advance ! ...
I sometime wonder if those mood lighting works. I had wanted to post a picture of me Not sleeping and watching a classic : Best regards to you and all at home ...
Our friend Claes has told me he would be having hard times posting this week end and requested to consider his entry of yesterday in this thread. I love this awesome shot of his not less awesome Lemania monopusher from 1963 issued to RAF. Its gorgeous asy...
I will spend this whole week in planes. So, here are some photos and watches I love. I apologize in advance to judges for the number of pics, but I am going for quantity over quality: Breguet Type XXI. Omega CK 2777. Still 2777, loves flying. IWC Mark XVI...
So I wouldn’t trust myself at this stage 😉 However landing on the Hvar airfield remains one of the real fun memories of the era. The grass was so high you could have hidden a tractor in it and it wouldn’t have been visible from the air. Good old days 😁 ...
It looks like it belongs in the heart of Africa... Man, that was a rough landing, especially for one of my friends who flew on a little plane for the first time.
Very interesting!! The ball pen is very interesting also. It reminds me of some of the 1950/60´s whit a liquid inside which made the scene vanish when turneing the pen. Is your pen of that kind? In any case, charming rendition of a WW1 dog fight! Thank yo...
And you as a host, a lively participation is guaranteed, Abel I was hoping to enter a suitable pilot's style watch, which arrived in Vienna today - sadly I am travelling, so no luck with that one (I may try to sneak it in on Sunday). In the meantime a sho...

... an old friend I appreciate so much and he was in charge of maintaining my vintage watches. I´m sure you can find a good watchmaker in your area with some searching. I hope so! Your Breitling deserves it!! Cheers! Abel
I wish you´ll find the watchmaker to fix it. This watch really deserves it! Beautiful classic timepiece. Interesting photograph you used as background showig an F4 Phantom with an awesome array of armament. Regarding the De Bethune helicopter clock; well ...
I didn’t have access to my watch pictures (or my aviation books) yesterday so I had to do with an archive shot. I guess it would have looked even better with a CF-105 😊🇨🇦 The other shots to follow Sunday!
After several watch makers decided against taking it on it kind of languished - much to do at work and now the move isn’t helping either. Will take it up next year, though 👍🏻
Especially like that you still get to enjoy 4 engined aircraft on a regular basis (from your Tudor shot) - they are becoming something of a rarity in the meantime...
With IWC Mk 11 British Air Force... Swedish Air Force Lemania Viggen... Maybe not the first watch that comes to mind when flying... But this ad helps! And to end, a classic "Blomman" shot with one of my favourite travel watches! Best Blomman ...
Among your pilots I´m specially fond of the British Air Force IWC! Lovely! Of course I love the Polaris too!! (Not to say that any of the other watches would make me a happy man too!!) About the charming toy airplane: you keep it from your infancy? what a...
. . . that details become blurry when posting large files. Here's a frame from the same series of images taken yesterday cropped even further . . . . . . to enhance legibility. Best, Art ...
. . . so that I can start taking pics and posting on the fly like everyone else. When it comes to tech, I'm way behind the curve . . . didn't get a smart phone until two years ago, and only because a friend loaned me his spare.
The Dornier being the perhaps somewhat more difficult one to admire (not many left). But you reminded me to check for old photos - been at the Smithsonian in 1995 😊
. . . here's a short video clip of the Do 335 in flight. Anteater, or Arrow? And a quick 'n dirty wrist shot . . . . . . of the Pfeil's contemporary, on my wrist currently. Warmest, Art ...
But a cold, sleep deprivation and some liberal imbibing last night do not for a fantastic Saturday make 😉 On the bright side there’s something waiting for me after landing back home 👍🏻
... what a marvelous experience must be to fly your Albatros L39!! I wish next time you will be able to show somehow your wrist to appreciate your watch as well. (if it is not dangerous to do so of course!! It looks like you are in a steep banking in this...
Being a airline pilot I was lucky enough to have been invited to fly once with the Breitling’s Jet Team. Here’s a picture of my modest Breitling at work. Un abrazo. ...
Too fast to focus! Or maybe at the -60 degrees C it was too cold to focus. But not too fast to eat & drink A day I will always remember. And I still have IWC rubber strap and adaptors for all my GST watches, but not the Mach 2 watch :-( INDULGE ME, I CAN'...
This is one of the many things which I couldn't fulfill in my life. Regrettably I will have no other chance with the Concord! I'm happy to know you had this pleasure. I enjoyed these shots so much! Thank you! Abel
Reminds me dear memories as I had the opportunity to come on board the Concorde but not to fly with it unfortunately. My cousin was a former flight attendant and she had a chance to let me come on board one day. Not sure it would still be possible now wit...
I feel our Judges will have a super tough job next Sunday! Thank you for your submission my dear friend! Abrazos mi amigo! Buen fin de semana y buena estadia en Suiza! Abel
Agreed on it being a great travel watch! Although I prefer to wear my mechanical watches, the Breitling is my go to watch for flying. Since I travel mostly to South and Central America, I would rather not wear something that draws too much attention. The ...
. . . on the left of this blurred picture. The other's are a mix of aircraft types. Something we practice during the summer months. Clive Chipmunk at no. 4 position (left of picture) ...
I actually don't have an airplane shot at hand nor do I live near the airport and I'm also not a collector of model airplanes... So let's do this: A classic Blomman shot against the sky... And, in Germany we "fly" on the ground on the Autobahn, so a "behi...
I'm happy you and many friends here liked the Theme for this week end! Beautiful GP's you show! I'm specially fond of the chrono. So classic and beautiful design! Hagwe! Abel
.. guess I sense a „self-winner“, all spots taken OR ? Gentlemen, start your engines !! I hear these roar.. Huuhh ? Still have to make up my mind, to not post redundancy..
I recognise that document. After two weeks local study, on 3rd July 1967 I was the co-pilot of the crew who had to collect from the manufacturer at Marietta a shiny new Hercules C130K and deliver it to Cambridge UK. Your secret is broken! HAGWE Clive
Perhaps appropriately we can share a common interest? In From Russia With Love did not 007 wear or admire a gold G-P with a brown crocodile strap, so why his later apparent infatuation with Rolexes and Omegas? The conversation might save me from the bulle...
