Which Bus?
Do pilots sit on the starboard side on a UK Bus?

Nice bus. That lever in front of your knuckles makes the bus go up or down, right?

320, supposedly getting the 321 next year

The high paid pilots sit on the left, us minion pilots sit on the right waiting for our number to come up and switch to the left seat

25, Petroleum Engineer, Explorer 1 and 2.

I actually use the Explorer 2 because I'm always traveling and we do all of our operations in East Coast military time so it is extremely useful. Also, I love the fact that the bezel doesn't rotate because I'm constantly dirty!!

nice watch prismresearch - can you make a Rolex soap that cleans, shines and leaves no residue? It'd save a lot of, "is it safe to use ______ to wash my Rolex?" threads.

Back on topic...here's mine and I spend time on TRF - yeah, it's what I do!

I guess this is the best place for a first post.

31 years old airline pilot on the Boeing 777 with...you guessed it, a GMT IIC.

This is the first....what i consider expensive....watch i've owned and I am loving every minute of it. I didnt start to like rolexes till my late 20s. Having an aviation-enthusiast dad with a 20+ year old TT GMT Rootbeer provides me with the 'continuing with family tradition' reason for buying this watch though :)

There really is something very special you feel when you stick your arm next to dad, compare 2 generations of watches more than 20 years apart and realise you are your father's son :)

sorry out of focus shot :) but you get the idea.

This guy is going all over the world with me.

Welcome to the forum

Great choice on the 116710 and a great story to go along with it. Just looking at your Boeing office (actually having a yoke!!!) makes me miss flying them even more
