That's a friend's Milsub. He sold it soon after - he was completely unaware of it's value [emoji15]

Still one of my favourite watches.

I buy an actual Tutima Flieger (same as Hanhart), to wear with my Eastman Hartmann jacket.
But in fact i wear the watch often and the jacket only 2 days since i buy it ...
I even mod the watch to age it, new strap i aged, new lume on watche, new hands etc...
Watch making is my hobby!
I owned before an gen Hanhart from 1939, single pusher who come from a german pilot captured during battle of britain!
(A question please: i am new here, where can i introduce me?)

Great watch, but the RiRi nowadays zippers made in Switzerland are a bit out of place if compared to this great watch...

I've got an Elgin a-11... issued in 1943... looks a bit small next to my monkey hands, but I like it.

Those Panerais are the ultimate in aesthetics as far as Im concerned. I would have to triple in size to wear one however which is good cause Id also have to earn 3x the dough...

I wore this pilot's watch today that illustrates good visibility and reliability.

I just bought a WWII Pierce RAF wristwatch at an estate sale for $50. They had no idea what it was and I did, so I walked away with a bargain! Can't wait for the weather to dip so I can wear it with my Irvin jacket!!

I really like Sinn watches. I find them very utilitarian and instrument like. Probably the most true of modern pilots watches.

One of the watches I was lucky enough to acquire is the Orfina Porsche Design military chronograph, powered by the venerable Lemania 5100 movement. The watch was officially issued to the Swiss Air Force.

I have a broken Swiss Pocketwatch made by Lanco during 1930s, so it makes pre-WWII. hehe.

this one is new to me…I like it a lot. The green pvd is very nice.

This is my everyday wear. It is, as I have found out recently, a "vintage" Seiko RN helicopter pilots watch. I traded a leather flight jacket for it when I spent two weeks aboard the HMS Ark Royal. I say vintage because I recently had to have the crown replaced and the Seiko repair facility in New Jersey told me it was too old for them to repair as they no longer carry parts for it. I had to send it to Montana to have a vintage Seiko watch repair shop fix it.

OK here is another pilot watch - my Tudor Heritage Ranger:
