I had a mickey mouse watch given to me by her majesty on joining the RAF. No stopwatch just two big hands. No stopwatch on prop plane I was flying. When I went gp1 at Valley I got a sieko with stopwatch. Plane was full of watches. Figure that?!
When I left the airfarce I was the lucky one that kept my watch but became fixated with buying more.
Now I have several watches including Omega Breitlings x2, Fortis, Rolex & Panerai. I also have several Nike sports watches. I have one favorite that I wear through thick and thin...
however the only use I have for the chronographs on each of these watches is to time my eggs to perfection. And boy do I do a great dippy egg!
ps I am now married so no more watches for me!
