    Hey everyone!

    I have never ever made pictures of a pilot watch before, but I thought it was about time.

    And I have to make a confession...This is my favorite one!

    Koen!

    My compliments, love that first shot and brown must be pretty hard to capture I guess?!

    Groeten,

    Great photos again. You need a pilots watch. I think I saw in the pictures in another thread that there is still a CF3 available in London. That would be perfect!

    Hi Koen,

    Beautiful photos of a very nice watch. When purchasing my spitfire I have looked at this watch. I could not decide between the two watches. I eventually chose the ardoise dial of the Spitfire but I still think the Saint exupery is a very nice Watch. Love it!

    Koen, again VERY cool pictures of a cool watch! That one fits your wrist pretty well, I have to say.

    About the CF3 I love the idea behind and the optical impression of the watch.

    This Saint Ex chrono in your picture is THE Pilot's chrono to have. I love the optical impression the most of them all AND it has the hour counter which is missing at the CF3 as well as on the regular Pilot's chrono. WHY? - I still cannot get over that! I do so much timing with my chronos and for most occasions I really need the hour counter.

    Having all that said or written about the Pilot's chronos I must admit: They're too small for me in the meantime. I'm used to 45 and 46 mm watches now and their fantastic presence on my wrist so I cannot and do not want to go any smaller again. That's why I chose the BP LPP as a Pilot's watch as well. It combines a lot from the St. Ex chrono with the BP massive wrist presence + the fantastic BLUE dial.

    After all that blabla...
    Koen, that chrono is a statement on your wrist: VERY beautiful!

    Thank you all very much for the positive feedback! I love the Pilot's watches mentioned. Tilo, your watch is fantastic. I had it on my wrist during the GTG in Gent not to long ago. A true, true stunner!

    The brown color of this one was indeed pretty hard to capture. I do love this watch so much. It so cool, classical and strong looking at the same time. Such a shame I cannot afford it. The CF3 is also a real, real cool watch.

    My next Forum discussion will be about crowdfunding.

    Hi Koen,

    I do agree with TILO that the hour chrono counter can be quite useful for me also which is missing in CF3 but don't get me wrong, I still love my CF3 XD

    The photo taken are really beautiful, thanks for sharing and enjoy your very 1st pilot watch, I believe more to come... :)

    Thank you very much Zhenhui! Sadly enough, I did not purchased the watch. It was just the first time that I posted a picture of a Pilot watch on the Forum :)
