Lol, that's the best seat to aim for I nearly managed it once when flying on a companies Boeing biz jet, I was the only person on the flight and they said I could sit on the flight deck on one of the extra seats. Then another guy turned up so we both had to sit in the back. It's funny, I used to fly small/private aircraft and have no interest in that anymore but still would love to fly up front on a jet like everyone else

I often volunteer to do the 'In Flight Safety Demonstration' but only on condition the stewards shine halogen torches on to my Rolex as I wave my hands around indicating exits & the like.
I also demand that they video it, post the link on youtube & show it on the movie channel throughout the flight. Anyone caught not watching said movie is beaten with a rubber hose until we land.

I do not care if anyone see's my watch. As to seating. If it is a night flight aisle, daytime window. I like to see the world go by!

As I'm poor and fly cattle class if I fly at all I get told where I'm sitting so it is irrelevant
I also wouldn't flash off my watch, but if it did get seen it would be laughed off as a Marbella beach front special I'm sure |

If you want people to see your watch on a plane maybe you should just roll up you sleeve at the front, hold up your arm and shout " Rolex, Rolex, Rolex" as you walk down ths aisle towards your seat, I'm sure this would get everyone's attention, as it seems that is what you are trying to accomplish here anyway.

Window seat.
I know of someone who wears a GMT on his right hand even though he is right handed, his reason? so that when he shakes hands with people they will notice the Rolex..

As I fly dozens of north/south flights annually with the majority AM departures, I tend to sit on the aisle of the shaded side of the jet. There is a significant temperature difference.
It is for reason solely. And my wife thinks I am crazy. And I tend to be the guy on the plane that will comment on someone elses Rolex first, just to puff up the person and make them feel good. |

I like the window seat. Mainly because I like taking pictures of the outside of the plane as we takeoff/fly/land. Plus I can stare at my watch in my own little corner.
