QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 25 2013, 09:37 AM) Hmm... IWC claims the pilot thing too and it seems just about every brand has a model that claims pilot heritage. I would guess pilots and military personnel needs watches because they need to meet at 1600 hours and shoot somebody. Can't do that if you don't have a watch.Even the Rolex Air King has supposed Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot provenance. Is it because pilots buy a lot more watches than say.. an accountant? 1. Never heard a watch that chuck chuck chuck and ding ding dings like a train + bell tower crossover 2. That's the hidden "reverse hacking function". For non hacking watches, apply slight backwards pressure on the crown to stop the second hand for precision time synchronization.Accountants would have a clock in the office so no need for them to wear watches really...just a guess.. |

I remembered there are watches made specifically for doctors.
With the outer rim printed with a tachymetre like scale but for measuring pulse. Need to dig up more info... |

I think many here will point you towards a Seiko. If I;m not mistaken, there will be a Seiko gtg at Amcorp tomorrow, 11AM-1PM, Starbucks. Maybe you can check it out.
There are also a plethora of watch shops in Amcorp as well. Good luck with the hunt. |
