Yep, the min order for SQ Airwolf of the MC-130P AFSOC Herc was 25 as well (delivered this past summer/fall). We barely made it with 26 orders. LE sequence number engraved on the back.

We had the LE number and pilot callsign engraved on the side where the circle access to the slide rule is.

What a great deal. I've never seen engraving along the side. Any pics?

Very cool! Although I didn't handle the ordering process, I'm sure we didn't have the opportunity to engrave call signs...even so, I really like the sequence stamp on the side where it's more visible while wearing the piece. At the same time, I'm thoroughly pleased with it that I'm sure I wouldn't change a thing.

Breitling Canada offered to have our call signs engraved because they had made an error which delayed the order a further 3 months or so. We took it! So each individual LE number was engraved with it's owners call sign during production.

I will say, it's kind of cool when the sun light catches the right way, to see your call sign reflected backwards on your wrist!

Here are two B-1 limited editions that I have owned which now are sadly no longer with me. Sorry for the impostor Emergency !! :lol:

Image

The Vulcan on the right was numnber 15 of 50 produced to help raise funds to get Vulcan XH558 flying again. "Job done!" I think is the phrase.

The Red Arrows is one of the 100 produced for the 40th Aniversary.
