Hey there friend.

Excellent photos, nice to see it in its intended enviroment. Shame some of the photos turned out a lil blurry, but there great to share anyway.

Thanks for sharing.

sea-dweller · 10 May 2008, 01:40 PM

Nice photos !

ticowa · 10 May 2008, 01:46 PM

Brett,

Nice watch. It looks like mine.

What type of plane is it?

bfh · 10 May 2008, 01:51 PM

Yeah, very nice watch, but what are you flying around in out there? A lot of instruments, is that a commercial passenger jet? Obviously, I know nothing about planes. Great watch though!

Brett... 39000ft... must be international flights... 757 or 767 or Airbus 320 :-)

The way you set your timezones on the GMT IIc is for 3 time zones, correct?? what are they?? is your local time YVR time at 1:12pm? Please explain!!

Thanks

Great photos. I always wondered what you guys did when on auto-pilot.

fmalloy · 10 May 2008, 03:46 PM

This does not look like a Boeing panel to me at all. The panel and displays look like it may be an Airbus...am I correct?

Brett, love your shots, please give details!

Texsubmariner · 10 May 2008, 03:56 PM

Great shots of the GMT at work!

ZROLEX · 10 May 2008, 03:59 PM

Great!

pwrslider · 10 May 2008, 04:37 PM

I'm thinking a Bell & Ross would look better against all that equip!

topcat30093 · 10 May 2008, 04:49 PM

Brett
Those are great photos.

That the 1st time - if that is the case that I have seen the GMT being used for 3 different timezones.
I'm still trying to workout TWO.

Lovely pics of the GMT in its "right" element!

Thanks for sharing!

OYSTERMANN · 10 May 2008, 07:49 PM

Great photos, Brett - the GMT doing what it does best

velomane · 10 May 2008, 09:09 PM

Nice shots. Better ask ATC for some smooth air so you can take some more shots for the guys on the forum.

mike · 10 May 2008, 09:45 PM

Perfect.

Dehcho2007 · 11 May 2008, 01:31 AM

Hey Everyone;

The Aircraft is a Boeing 737-700 NG. I am actually using the watch for only 2 time zones. The Green GMT hand is set to UTC time also known as ZULU or GMT. I use the hour hand for the time zone that I am in. Then if I want I can rotate the bezel to see what time it is at home on Vancouver island.

Great watch, I am really enjoying it.

Brett.... hmmm.... I am kind of confused here

so your local time is 112pm YVR time or what time zone? your 8 is positioned at the 12 position that leads me to believe it is in Tokyo time??

I have been trying to figure it out... HELP, eh!!

Dan Pierce · 11 May 2008, 01:53 AM

A GMT in it's natural habitat.

Thanks for sharing.

Dehcho2007 · 11 May 2008, 03:52 AM

Hi Bruce;

The hour hand was set to whatever time zone I was heading to. The Bezel at the time was not really set to anything at the time.

I will normally have the bezel set with the arrow on the 1200 position. And that gives me GMT time.

To be honest Bruce, this was my first trip with my new watch, so I am learning which is the best way to use it.

Dehcho2007 · 11 May 2008, 04:12 AM

Hi Bruce;

We fly US, domestic, as well to a lot of charter destinations. Cuba, Mexico, Barbados, Jamaica, and some others, and of course the Hawaiin Islands.

We fly Boeing 737 -600 ,700, 800. NG's
