Anyways, based on my personal experience talking to commercial airline pilots, during flights many of them actually preferred G Shocks, Seikos, Timex and Citizens watches esp the Nighthawks, these days, the Garmin D2 GPS seems to be quite popular.Only real watch enthusiast pilots wear Rolex watches as far as I know (I saw pilots wearing Subs but havent met a pilot spotting a GMT Master before!)
Oh Yeah just remember guys, the Speedmaster is NOT a (True) pilot watch so there you go....
Thread Drift! Sorry, I'm a little biased. Let me post some photos of my friends, one, a Captain for a commercial airliner and the other, a US Jet Fighter pilot flying a USAF T38A seen here....Dedicated to all the Pilots in the World who fly us safely to our destinations and guard our airspace. Blue Skies Y'all !

U2R or TR-1?
