Quick update since it has been a number of months since this thread started.

My wife is up to four pull ups, which is awesome post her shoulder surgery. I suspect she will keep increasing that...

So that Grand Seiko doesn't have the spring drive?

Yes. Here is a black one.

I didn't know this about Rolex -- seems an ideal ownership structure for making great watches.

I am pretty sure this thread will turn out to be the second most expensive thread ever on PF.

I have that same Vaer, and while I haven't had it that long, it has kept great time.

A neat thing about the Marathon is the ability to change the battery without opening the main case.

I would really like it if that Casio had sapphire, solar and atomic but that gets to a nearly $500 watch, where there are a number of alternatives.

Do you think the old ones were tougher or more fragile?



I have had a SBGE 283 on my short list for a while -- GMT and titanium.

Wouldn't a quartz Marathon 41mm Navigator with a battery you can change yourself be a candidate as well?

How do you like the Pelagos? I am a sucker for titanium watches. Wish they made a GMT version.

The problem with three is this thread quickly gets expensive.....

So, if you could only have one watch, what would it be? And same question, but if you could only have two watches, what would they be?

Today, and subject to change, my one watch would be a...

I really hate to contemplate just one gun, regardless of manufacturer, but a macro in tac ops form, along with a 365 grip module, is as close to a do everything solution as there is. Of course, a...

Interesting conversation this morning. We flew a Jet Ranger a few hours into town this morning, and handed it over to another pilot. He was retired from the CBP, and flew the MD 600 for many years....

Snippet:

The plane departed Fairbanks just before 10 a.m., loaded with 3,200 gallons (12,100...

Great guns, and I also prefer the B. Negatives are the rounded grip which likely doesn't do as well as a straight side grip, and sear support when taking a blow to the back of the slide (dead trigger...

From FAI newspaper website:

The Douglas DC-4 is an Alaska Air Fuel Inc. plane based out of Wasilla. An Alaska Air Fuel employee told the News-Miner that they are not familiar with the incident.

Pretty sure they have C-46 and DC-6 aircraft for delivering fuel in remote AK, but don't know about the plane that crashed, which I believe is a DC-4.

DC4 near Fairbanks:
