I love the look of the airman, but the "at a glance" readability of the 24 hour dial has always worried me (especially if worn in rotation), so I've never taken the plunge.

I'll second that. Looked many times but don't think I could read them too easily.

The condition of that one is insanely good. They could have polywatched that crystal though.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Having just taken delivery of an Airman 18, I approve of this article. The Airman is a brilliant 200m WR GMT for less than 10% of the cost of an GMT Master II at current gray market prices.
