But.. When I saw slagging about the use of a "pilots" watch as a means of presenting one's (self determined) station in aviation, I agreed. In my opinion "pilot" is a skill set, discipline, attitude toward safety, and maybe occupation. It is not an image, and cannot be communicated by wristwatch.
There are so many members here whose posts on meaningful topics are so worthwhile, I can't really get too enthusiastic about discussions about fads and styles here. Thus I do not take them seriously.
It's raining in northern Germany today, and I'm bored, so a bit of non-serious posting seems an appropriate way to waste a bit of time.
If it were not for the fact that I really appreciate a good wrist watch, I would not have even been here.
