Only joking, although I do like Pilot watches, could never quite bring myself to buy one even when they were in the sales.
Don't you mean a team of Mortis men? :D

So, a couple of these are franken watches? :twisted:

Nice collection if you have some good Raybans.

And yes, I am aware of the history and I respect it. (Last time I made a negative comment, Yoda called me a cretin). :lol:

With the history behind the design it is just flat out smashing in my book. Very cool bit of history on your wrist with that. :thumbup:

I really do like these watches (well the UK versions). Had a PVD one but preffered the stainless case. By the time I flipped mine to get the stainless they had gone. Still consider getting another. Nice collection

I do have to say that i am most upset that no one has noted my time setting skills. I remembered someone having a picture of two watches that were a few seconds apart (me i think :shock: ) this caused a large amount of comment. So i spent the next three weeks setting the time on multiple watches. Todays picture is the result.
I expect that a few of you looked to see if the times were okay, and were disappointed that they were quite close.

Well it's the death penalty for misaligned bezels, what's the usual for a few seconds out. :lol:
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Well, I like this one a lot. It's different, unique and has historical context. Wear them with pride gentlemen. On a slightly different subject I like my recently acquired C8 MkI but the hands are so ridiculously small I can hardly see the damn things. It's not as if there's a lack of space is it?! If I could have larger hands fitted from the MKII I might be tempted to wear it.

Exactly the reason I had to sell my Mk1's. I asked about the possibility of having MKII hands fitted, but without success. :(

Ah! Thanks for that, Richard. I feel then that my short encounter with the MkI is about to come to an end. Pity, it's a terrific watch.If only I could tell the time with it :(
