I still have my Mickey Mouse watch I got at Disneyland back in 79. Does that count?

Have it on right now.....Breitling Chrono Cockpit

 

My father bought it for me the day of my first solo. Worn it every day, every flight since then.

I break watches like crazy. I just went through another G-Shock in 2 months and am currently watchless (except for another partially broken "ironman" watch I left hanging on my ALSE vest). If I dished out the money for a watch like that and it broke I'd have to hunt down the manufacturer and get all axe murderer on him.

No new watch for me either. Like my cars and music, I prefer watches from the 80's.

 

I have a couple of mid-80's vintage Seiko chronographs - one stainless steel w/white face (which I almost never wore) and the other black/black. I wore my black Seiko all through Army flight training. I still own them - collecting dust in my desk...

After flight school, I got a first generation Omega Seamaster Professional. 20 years later, I still wear it every day and see no need to replace it...

When I was sigining up for the Marines, the recruiter who was a sea knight driver looked at my wrist and said "Big watch, tiny dick. You must be an aviator."

I would have to go with the Zenith Zero G. Sorry can't post pics while at work, but I would rather buy that than a house. My wife just doesn't get my "boner for watches" as she calls it...
