    I guess I just wasn't smart enough to get the hint - ha, ha!

    But, finding myself lacking a Pilot watch I realized that many of these jackets are also worn abord a hangar ship - so maybe a Portuguese can serve as a substitute?

    Admittedly it is no Top Gun - but it is an IWC

    Sorry Skule, doesn't work. Looks like you NEED to get a pilot now. I personally see a 500201 or maybe the 501902 on your wrist!

    Make it happen! =P

    Skule, there is in the English language an expression that you no doubt know and probably almost already forgot from your USA based days...

    It says something to the effect of "...you sleep in the bed you make"!

    Sorry Buddy, but on this one you are on your own.

    (other than of course ALL of us out here - who are willing and able to provide opinions as to exactly which Pilot is Skule model - LoL

    Ha, ha - that's the great thing about this forum - you are never alone!

    And that jacket sure deserves something else...one of these days...maybe...if the wife allows :o)

    There are a few lurking in the boutiques...my guess is that a pilot purchase might secure one. Maybe even a strap with some begging.

    Thanks for the heads up! Im in Vegas at the end of the month, and I was planning on going in regardless to get a few straps. :)

    I have the right watches:
    i114.photobucket.com/albums/n257/craniotes/IWC%20Top%20Gun%20Perpetual%20Calendar/TG_BPPC-DC.jpg

    Alas, no jacket. :-( Somehow I don't think anyone will be shedding any tears on my behalf. ;-)

    Regards,
    Adam

    PS - I would settle for a hat, however; does anyone know if it's available for sale at the boutiques?
