I'm with Aerbabe on this one. I use a Casio digital, nothing fancy, bought years ago from my local jewellers. Cost about £15 and loses about a second a week. The most usable feature was a double time zone - one could be permanently set to ZUZU with the other on local, wherever.

It was sad, really, at an airshow a few years ago to listen to mates drool over the Breitling stand where they were giving discounts of £25 off a £600 watch to those involved in the organisation.

Still, if you've got money to burn...

I was completely satisfied with mine until last weekend. I tried to adjust it for the one hour time change and the adjusting knob fell off! Rats

Who do I send it too, Pilot or Sekonda?

Low'n' slow
The guy in charge of marketing at Pilot is Sam Spurdens - samthe man on here. I suggest you take this up with him as he was responsible for supplying the watch and can advise whether he will sort it or whether Sekonda will (can't remember whether there was a guaruntee card with the watch - if so I guess direct with Sekonda.

Low and Slow - Sorry to hear about the watch. Please send it back to me at Pilot magazine and we will get a replacement out to you straight away.

We have an arrangement to replace any watches that are faulty straight away. Give me a call if you have any queries.

Sekonda are pretty good and out of the 2500+ subs so far we've had less than 40 faults.

For those PPruners I know - I passed my GFT this weekend!
