OK guys, watches are like cars; There's not one that is "better" than the other. It all depends on the individual's needs and tastes. I will say one thing, and this is from an "old timer", not one of you young tech-guys of modern times: I was employed by Pan Am for 18 years and then spent my last 7 in AAL. IN those times airlines were not as cheap as today, and Pan Am used to issue us Captains a Rolex GMT Master. My GMT Master served me well, and I still wear it. It's almost 38 years old and still looks great! It does not have the precision of a digital watch, but then, who needs to be that precise? These modern-day "nuclear" watches are just an excuse for us jocks to show off our toys. Much like buying a Hummer to be seen driving around town or taking the wife to Publix.
