Sent my watch back to Timex for the 3rd time. They seem happy enough to repair again.

Just saw that it sold for just over $5 million... dayum

A close second @ $3M

Can any Omega experts out there identify this?

Yup. It's definitely an Omega.

definitely?

Car needs some work, bank balance not healthy, young baby at home - Nomos Metro should probably go... anyone interested? Mint condition, still has 18months left on the guarantee...

:(

Good evening all. I bought this Bering watch today on a whim. It is uber light as it seems to be titanium and water resistant to 10 atmospheres ( I discovered this after the purchase). Apologies in advance for the lack of PC in the background.

Keep seeing these on SM. Not bad.

Options for nice pilot watches which aren't too insanely priced other than Sinn and Fortis?

This sort of thing (I know nothing about watches).

Pet peeve time.

How can these two watches both be classed as pilot/aviation watches while being defined by completely different feature sets?

Or is there a sub-category that I'm oblivious to?

One is for people in combat going "oh shit oh shit oh shit what time is it?" and the other is for airline pilots with nothing to do for 10 hours at a time.

Good answer.

But which one for being in combat, having your fuel tank shot at and calculating how far you can fly given the current rate of fuel loss?

One on each wrist?

Maybe it's based on Pilot IQ.

or OCD.

Both are pilots watches...

One is a modern take on it giving scales and graphs and calculations.

The other is a historic pilots watch - the Nav B Uhr watch (or a variant) which comes from the WW2 pilots (technically the navigators) that needed simply but BIG CLEAR MARKINGS. read this for more

So no need for pet peev... Just sub categories as you said
