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?

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.

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.
