when traveling I often use the slide rule to calculate consumption , ETA and other parameters (just to avoid to fall asleep while driving).
I feel the lack of the hours scale in my A23322 because without it I have to do more conversions

I use mine to time me as I drive the fastest cars, how long it takes me to seduce the most beautiful women and to measure my degree of freedom. ;)

Thankfully I haven't used the emergency function yet, but I wear my Emergency when I fly. I also use the chrono to time flight segments to make sure I'm on the right track.

I used my Chrono on my super avenger tonight to burn my lasagna! Image
Tried to eat it but it was kind of rubbery. The watch timed it perfectly and it would have come out perfect if I set the temp right.

Yep, Chrono and the slide rule. Yes I know, but it keeps my memory fresh on how to use it. :shock:

Similar to those games they give old people in retirement homes. I won't make it to one in my dotage and don't intend to go anyway, so if I keep my mind active now it should help keep me away. :wink:

That’s got me thinking. :strummin: Wonder if I can use my Breitlings as a tax concession? As I am less likely to be a retirement home user in the future and won’t need the Government subsidy to get in! :)

Oh, for that I would need the Aerospace with its 1/100th second accuracy ;-)

And if you got it wrong you could just say you were in the different time zone...

I just bought a B-1 from someone on the forum. I wore an Aerospace for the longest time and switched to a Seamaster. I travel often I found I missed the functions of the Aerospace, especially multiple time zones. Now I set T-1 Eastern, T-2 for a client in Asia and since I really don't care about actual UTC, UTC for a lovely girl in Moscow:)

As an Instructor Pilot at the USAF Test Pilot School I use virtually every function of my Aerospace Advantage/Co-pilot (and the Aerospace/UTC module I traded for it) everyday...in aircraft and in platform instruction.
