I find this timepiece far superior to the Breitling Aerospace.

Often use the outer biezel to mark a time, but the flight computer is one of those things that you need to use every day to know how to use it, its backwards to a normal crp-5 so its even more akward.
Anyway most helo pilots tend to only have one hand free in the air (occasionally) so they dont get much use!

This Fastime RW2 watch is really neat "gerogedonal".
Looks like I´m getting an early christmas present from myself. I just have to get that.
Is this web link the where you got the best price (99 UKp) on the watch "gerogedonal"?

Bell Ross Space 3. Good visibility. I use the Chronometer quite often. Used a Breitling Aerospace for a while, but I am done with Quartz powered watches.
Altought fairly precise, quartz movement are very simple and inexpensive ($ 30.00) which doesn't giustify the high price tag on Breitlings.
Happy with my Lemania movement. A little hystory on the wrist plus it does a great job keeping time.

Aquila, the accuracy of quartz watches and their economy have made me decide the opposite. I won't buy an expensive watch. I can get a better watch for less money, and if I lose it or break it it's not a traumatic event. I once lost a watch off my wrist loading baggage at night on a hurricane evac, and didn't even realize it was gone until we were back at the base. Gone forever, but I bought a new Timex and didn't even think twice about it. Breitling? I would have cried, but in actuality I would never buy one, or even wear it regularly if someone gave me one. Its only use is for snob appeal, and I care more about utility than style.

The Bold Truth
Hell, I once use to date this hugly woman. I could kick her, treat her badly, sleep around, but she was always there. She was operating for very little money and never ask for more. One night, during a hurricane she left and I didn't even notice. Next day I went to the same bar and got me another one just as hugly. It was beautiful. I didn't have to worry about a thing!
I always thank god 'cause the first one that left was so hugly and I really didn't care. If she would've been beautiful, I would've been miserable and I hate that. I'd rather sleep with the hugly one, so that I don't have to worry about a thing!
Anyway, one could apply your philosophy to cars and drive a Pinto, but I'd rather live with style, and enjoy beauty if I can afford it!
No offense Mate , I do respect your point of view, just having a little fun I guess.
By the way, I do drive a Pinto and love it.
Well, it's really a lie, but it feels good to say it. I did drive a FIAT 500 for a while only 'cause it was all I could afford. I don't miss it tough.
