This is a really silly question
This is a really silly question. I sit closest to the drink locker and/or the emergency exit (because it has more leg room) and I could care less who sees my watch.

Close to the washroom as possible as flying makes me nervous and aisle so I don't have to keep asking people to move to let me out...

Nah... I don't care too much about which seat I'm getting, I always wear my "I HAVE A ROLEX" T-shirt when I fly. The text is printed on my back, chest and arms.
Sometimes, I even staple a paper to my forehead with the same text. Always get's the stewards attention. I don't mind the pain.

I just wait for the pre-boarding announcements.
"now boarding first class, those traveling with small children, anyone who needs assistance... and WE WELCOME PETE AND HIS ROLEX TO THE FLIGHT TODAY, unless you have a Rolex, please get out of his way!" -Pete

I always like to ask the time at our destination as loudly as I can and then say "I just want to make sure my ROLEX is set to the correct time". Or, I ask how long the flight is "so that I can use my unidirectional bezel on my ROLEX to monitor our flight time". By the fifth time the flight attendant tells me that it's a 1 hour flight and we don't change time zones, I can really see the ROLEX envy in their eyes! In an emergency, if I don't think enough people have noticed or properly admired my ROLEX, I will ask for a "diet coke for me and a clean cup of sparkling spring water to gently dab my ROLEX with!" This is the BEST thread in a while, it's the gift that keeps on giving. -Pete

Always aisle seat on fixwing. No matter if I fly 1st, business or eco, it has to be aisle. Exception to this rule.., door window on Blackhawks, Bell 412's and LittleBirds

It depends a great deal on my mood!!
If I'm in "hijack" mood as I normally am on TRF, then I walk straight into the pilot's cabin, point a gun at his head and ask him to fly me to Bermuda!! Otherwise, I prefer to sit opposite the "jump seat" on which the hostess sits!!

I prefer the seat on the left. But sometimes have to suffer on the right.
Doesn't really matter as they both have a wheel and pedals On that very rare occasion I get bumped to the fold down seat |

Hopefully this is an April's fool. It may be worth investing in a large strap and strap the watch to your forehead with a neon arrow pointing down stating ROLEX owner and just underneath stating loser! lol

I wear a silver Mercedes wind breaker, D&G sunglasses, satin pants, a Ferrari cap, a Leopard Daytona and the jacket blinks "I am a Rich Mo Fo". I find that works the best for me then I don't have to choose my seat they see me coming or gong.

Depends on the aircraft but in general an aisle seat closest to where you board the plane.

Being a control freak, I fly my own plane, a Diamond D-40, unless it is too far away, like China, but I am not comfortable NOT being at the controls. I usually wear my GMT-II when I fly. If commercial, it's either watch. But I prefer to fly myself. Flying commercial used to be a pleasure, now it's like a bus with wings. Unless JAL, where do they get these stunning women attendance? I love JAL! I need a G-4 or 5, and be done with commercial airlines. Anybody got an extra $40,000,000. laying around???
