Scam! Don't touch it and report it to PPrune Admin. I did a while ago and was assured it was sorted.

I am assuming the brave guys who originally tested the seats don't qualify because the seat was not actually used to save their life in an emergency.

I am guessing the reason the guys who tested the seats don't qualify, is because the ejection seat was not actually used to save their life.

Ejection Tie Club
We run an exclusive Ejection Tie Club for all pilots that have used one of our ejection seats. Life membership of the Ejection Tie Club is confined solely to persons who have ejected from an aircraft, in an emergency, using a Martin-Baker ejection seat which has thereby saved their life.

Tarnished, BA/BY, no way am I knocking MB, I totaly agree with newt, I didn't realise the watch was a recent thing, must have been thinking of the tie.

Had my seat not worked to perfection my two wonderful little grandsons would not exist !
Thanks for everything, M-B, my life, my family and my watch !

Spot on and exactly the point!!:ok:

I recently found out about the Bremont MB1 and will soon be a proud and grateful owner of a lovely watch and unique memento. Personally, I doubt very much if anyone entitled to an MB1 would buy one for someone else, other than perhaps for a son or daughter.

Nevertheless, if someone needs the cash so badly, than so be it but the new "owner" will never have had the "experience" that is genuinely priceless.
