I declare myself – I’m a ATCer. I read all along and never comment until now.
Yeager – I agree with you totally. I have a good collection of NBY, I wear them daily (although they are no longer available under production). I like to see if the CX watch should worth its price, but I cannot access without p/w. Mechanical watches, like jewellery of all kinds, are not cheap but should not be overpriced at the same time.
For those who have no clue of what I’m talking about, google ‘Yeager’ and ‘NBY = No Barrier Yeager’. For those pilots who have “no preference on their watches”, google the origin of ‘pilot’s watch’. They have their specific backgrounds, functions & pride of their owners. Hope you find the sense of belonging of an elite (aviation) group.
