Here's one of mine (the nicer of the two). It was actually supposed to be a college grad present, but my grandmother gave it to me early, 9 months early.... I need a new band for it, not to fond of the leather.

Wow, you guys definately got some cool stuff! Here's my old watch, or what's left of it. My dad bought it for me so those that know my family history can easily guess it's over 10 years old. The patch next to it is the Air Force Academy patch my mom got on her trip to the states in 89 that I mentioned in the chat.
Designwise and function-wise I like this watch I found by chance, however the price..... yikes!

I actually have a very close friend right now at the academy. Going into his senior year, just got his pilot school spot, he'll find out for what unit etc later on but he wants to fly the A10.

Here's mine... well what mine used to look like anyway. Mine is quite well used... but it's one of those stereotypical watches, isn't it? ::)
but it's one of those stereotypical watches, isn't it? ::)
Yup, there is wayyyyyyyy to much stuff going on on that face. What happened to the simple watches....

Baradium, if you alternate right and left arms with that watch your bicep development will be bilaterally uniform ::), in my youth, I bought a HUGE Swiss chronograph which caused uneven muscular development till I learned that trick---Alas though, I had to get rid of the darn thing so I could carry an extra passenger ;)

It's like simple design for cars, no-one makes them anymore, despite the obvious increased difficulty in use. Look at my current watch and dreamwatch, that's clean and practical and imho still very good looking.

Was a gift, I use the E6B function regularly.
Mine was a gift as well. I don't get to use all the functions as much as I'd like, but I do really like the watch. You don't have to do math to figure out UTC or the 24 hour clock. For all of it's uses, it actually is a fairly clean design.

Woah~! ::unbelieveable:: That's totally a "Chuck, is that you?" watch !!! ::rofl:: Does it have a satellite link to zulu-time?
::rofl:: ::rofl:: ::rofl:: oh man what a joke to wake up to! ::bow:: |:)\ (I just slept thrue the afternoon and evening and only woke up a few minutes ago).

UTC I can always calculate... same would go for 12/24 time, but my, also gift, watches have LCD display as well as "hands" (how do you call those thingies actually?), quite handy when one goes somewhere whre timezone changes.
