Cleared for take off. Finally got the call...
After almost 2 years, this pilot finally got the call for my dream watch.

For me, this is my tool watch. GMT for UTC Zulu and an easy time/date jump for overnights.

Might find an oyster and have LAWW or Mikes Rollie works brush it. Well see...

On to the pics.

The Pepsi is one of the most beautiful and perfectly designed watches ever made. If you went a lifetime with just a single watch, it's the perfect one. Major congrats.

Awesome shots !!! Impressive watch with the Honeywell Primus avionics on the background. Definitely, that is where that watch belongs in the flight deck. Enjoy it every day you fly.

Suddenly this forum became livelier again !!

Thanks!! E190 with JetBlue. Headed to the Airbus in December so I’ll be sure to post some side stick shots once I’m finished up with transition training.

Good eye! Last month on the 190. Headed to the 320 in December so that’ll be new and fun!
