I picked this up last week on Guam from an AD. They had the best prices I could find anywhere. (searched in Texas, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc..) Great prices and no sales tax and a very good selection. They are about to open a boutique in a week or 2. I was going to pick up a Navitimer Montbrilliant, but it was sold when I got back, this was what I originally wanted. Its one of the 100th anniversary Navy aviation watches, limited edition of 500. Don't have any good picks but I took a couple iphone pics. Ill post some better ones later, here is one in the cockpit.

Fantastic Pickup. You can never go wrong strapping the Airwolf to your wrist.

That's a real beauty OrangeO2,

You just need to get your slide rule/bezel lined up and it will be perfect (like mine below :D ).

Oooooof, I'll just get my wind back now Justin :( and I'll just retrieve my balls back from up in my chest area :( . Ah, that's better.

It is possible to use the rule (like I regularly do) and return it to it's original position where IMHO it looks aesthetically pleasing.

Never so harsh Brother! You are right about the slide rule, and all bezels in general! Usually people who take pics without putting them back to center are new. That being said, I have seen well known dealers post pics from time to time of watches for sale that are not centered! But I say it's like saying "Woah man nice hairy arm!" Better left unsaid!! New guys will figure it out from looking at other pics. Otherwise, they probably know better but forgot. I could be way wrong on this.

Well, to be honest guys - I did say to the OP 'That's a real beauty OrangeO2' which to me is like saying 'That's a nice watch OrangeO2'.

My remark about lining up the bezel was no different to similar remarks I have seen elsewhere in this Forum. I meant it politely and was not in any way meant to be seen as offensive. Therefore to receive a kick in the balls for saying it was I believe somewhat unjustified IMO.

OrangeO2? It is a really lovely watch and I hope you get as many years enjoyment out of it as I have with my Airwolf - bezel aligned or not. Wear it in good health.

I was trying to say, it was not meant as a kick in the balls! Just that he was in the cockpit, he could have been using it to track the compass heading!

Take a look at the pics taken with the watch still in its box Justin - I've never known a pilot to take their watch into the cockpit still in its box :nutkick: .
