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!

Nice!!!!! ...
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 Bruce-YVR |

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

A complete amateur guess...
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! |

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.

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

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 |

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. Brett |
