Please do Paul. I can then buy it off you in a year or three's time :wink:
Even a 40mm one?
Oh yes, 39-42mm is my preferred sze range. I'll go outside that for a number of reasons, but 40mm is a nice size for me...

Saw a couple of Zenith pilots at -40% in MUC last week, but I think they were larger cases and possibly chronographs. I'll take a closer look next week.

Thought you might. :wink:

Zenith pilots, nice as they are, are out of reach for me currently.

However, this is within reach.

Ha! Told you, you would go for the yellow!

Good man, although a matching strap might actually require eclipse glasses/welding goggles. :)

Yet to see it in the metal but very much thinking along the lines that the yellow gives it a look similar to my C11 Makaira Elite that I very much liked.

Yellow stitching on the strap sets it off well. Mind you it's Genuine Alligator at €280 extra :shock:

That is fine then. I had visions of an a fluorescent yellow strap in the same hue as the markers. Would have put your Makaira strap to shame!

Agree totally about the yellow stitching. Works superbly.

Would P&C come to an agreement over the strap?

These are lovely, and a welcome and relatively rare size for the pilot style (which always seem to be too large), I'd probably go for the brown but the green also nice.

Strap and possibly a bracelet would be bought separately. :wink:

It's a shame the ETA 988.333 isn't thermocompensated.
Then it would be a real alternative to a Breitling.

Pilot's watch with similar movement to a Breitling Aerospace, but more of a tooly look.

I'm perfectly happy with it being a 'similar movement' to a Breitling; not a shame for me.
