Nice one, congrats! After owning a Spitfire Chrono for a few months, I couldn't agree with you more

I used to wear my dad's vintage Rolex. Don't remember what model or anything. I'm pretty sure it was from the 40's or something, but it's sadly now in the safety deposit box... Dorms are the least secure place on earth.

I really like the IWC Spitfire range and the classic MarkXVI, they are just SO big, ideal over your flying jacket and awesome if you want to know the time when you have a Heinkel or a Meschersmit coming at you from 12 o'clock high with all barrels blazing.

Beautifully made watches, i would like to see how big the Spitfire midsize comes up when on the wrist.

Loving this one....007 galore (I might add, my first auto!)! Classic watches appealed to me more than the newer Tuna can...felt particularly good today and here I am, typing with my new 007 (God bless my parents, love them!)! Just tried out the lume...AMAZING! One thing I don't particularly like is the bracelet/band...it's a bit 'tough'...will it soften through use? Only time can tell (or another member

). If I have the cash, the Oyster bracelet will be the next item on the shopping list...the 007 with the rubber band looks a bit too 'informal' for those days where you have to wear a suit....here are some (horrible) pics!

Probably my Englishness, but I find the Jim Bond garb cheapens it.

What be a good site for time? I went on 3 and got 3 different times.

Yeah, they do vary from one to the other, but I think this one is interesting:

This is closest to right on AFIK:
The official US time
