Really? I thought the onion had farther spaces in between the slits.

My current fave is my IWC Top Gun. I'm sick of 46mm, but this watch was impossible for me to decline.

What's the rational for showing 3 dates? Rather busy, no?

Nice 112 from one owner to another. Good choice in straps.

When you're on the Highway to the Danger Zone, its easy to forget yesterday's date and hard to think about what tomorrow's will be.

If you're a real soldier, you aren't wearing a $10K watch into a battle zone. I suppose unless you're a mercenary getting paid buco bucks.

Clearly, somebody needs to brush up on their Top Gun references.

Design cue from aircraft cockpit instrumentation

That's a nice Pan that goes well with the shirt you're wearing. Which would appear as interesting as the watch, at least to me.

All the Top Gun jokes that leapt into my head too when I first saw the logo on the back almost stopped me.

But then I thought to myself, "Do not let Tom Cruise ruin something else for you."

And then I had to face the fact that Top Gun is actually a great flick and also an actual fighter pilot program that is the definition of badass.

And then I thought "Are you badass enough to..."

And then I said "Shut up, you moron" to myself and negotiated for the watch.
