I was seated in the emergency door section...for the extra leg room...and found my self with pilots in the seat in front of me and beside me and the wife. Two of the watches I could see...the other one had a watch with a brown leather strap.
What were they wearing? One had on a brand new Hamilton Pilot....
The other I saw had something very similar to this Citizen Navihawk...I couldn't see exactly in the dark. It had the larger digital screen on the right, but looked to be on a replacement bracelet.

That must have been really NEAT Gary ! What makes it even better is that they were actually pilots wearing pilot's watches like these !!!! ..Pretty AWESOME imho, and I guess that says ALOT about each of these watches here too. Love the classic look of the Hamilton with it's markings, along with hands. While the Citizen has the best of both worlds happening with the nice ani-digi feel ! ..Excellent story, and of course watches !!! ..Thanks !

It's funny how we always look @ peoples wrist to see what they r wearing.I'm guilty of it ALL the time like last night I was watching a concert w/ MAROON5 on palidia & the singer & bassist were both wearing Panerai's, I find it natural being a WIS but the wife find's WEIRD how I gravitate towards what watch some1 is wearing-WE GOT IT BAD GENTS

So, a pilot's watch is just an oversized watch? The Hammy has no aviation complications whatsoever but I guess since they are large and have big crown we are suppose to think it's purpose built?
