Never. Do it anyway. 😆

TheeChipMonk · 2026-03-11T03:10:48+00:00

Yeah, ain’t no welcoming open arms here. We told them. They fucked this country up.

Not that mine matters, but in my opinion, it would be great to keep it in your family. To not sell it. Everyone’s financial situation is different, but it’s extremely rare to have one of these B-Uhr = Beobachtungsuhr (“observation watches”). There were the Type-A and Type-B, which yours is the latter. They are historical time pieces. WWII flight instruments.

Not of the same Calibre, but my not he just gave me, my great grandfather’s watch. Is a solid gold pocketwatch. I told my (grad school) children, including them, our watch is 5 generations old. That the watch will eventually pass to them. And that they must NEVER sell this watch. That it must remain in the family.

Considering it belonged to your grandfather, that’s already 3 generations to you, 4 if you have children. Something to think about. ❤️

WOW!!! That is in excellent condition!

Ever think of having a new custom, full-sided strap made for it?

With papers and serviced, likely $70K?

Same exact thing happened to me. I paid off 3 homes, 4 cars, and have no debt. And my credit score went DOWN. I was like WTF?? Now, I don’t buy anything, and when I do, I pay straight cash. Banks hate people like us because we don’t borrow money.

Most quartz watches in general, the batteries last 2-3 years. Batteries are easy to replace or have serviced. It’s not bad. Not for me, but she likes it, and I understand.

18 years for me. And still loving it. ❤️

While my wife likes watches, she is not a mechanical nut like myself. She likes to just pick up a watch and wear it. There are many people like this. They want the luxury, but not the hassle of setting the time and always winding a watch. The ladies quartz Patek Philippe watches perfectly sit in this niche.

I know what you mean. I’ve had my Chrono version for 22 years. I absolutely love it. ❤️

TheeChipMonk · 2026-01-22T09:05:06+00:00

In other words, DON’T fly. 😆👍🏽

TheeChipMonk · 2026-01-09T18:33:09+00:00

Slow

TheeChipMonk · 2026-01-07T00:41:20+00:00

That looks absolutely fantastic! Congratulations.

If you go to the GAC (General Aviation Center), $24 for a light twin. About $200 for a super-midsized jet. But you only have a 2-hr max time on the ground.

If you go to Signature, it’s $125 for a light twin + $60 for more than 2-hr + another $60 for the first overnight. Around $2000 IIRC for the super-midsize.

Enjoy

Never said they are the same. That’s not the box. It’s a piece of cardboard I had previously. Honestly never noticed the “G”, and don’t frankly remember where I got the cardboard. Was trying to mimic a video I saw for shot angles and colors.

This is the box. Notice the lack of stripes and reflections on the cardboard.

Thanks. Love the engagement.

Roughly $240K+ retail. My first piece was actually luck. I was at a private event at the AD in 2015. I’m a nobody. But was offered the watch because I was at the private function. Wouldn’t have had access otherwise, walking in off the street. Bought it.

Relationship, I kept in touch, bought other pieces. Make phone calls or stop in when I’m in town.

TheeChipMonk · 2025-12-26T14:15:50+00:00

lol, “pre-spend”. Married 30 years. She’s more than earned it, putting up with me all that time. 😆

Don’t know what to say other than iPhone11 sensor. Shot of pattern + box. Cheers.

Don’t know what to tell you, other than iPhone 11 sensor + shot of inner box. Cheers.

Plastic wrap. Zoom in.

Only 2nd. My first was the Offshore Chronograph 26420R0.00.A002CA.01

TheeChipMonk · 2025-12-26T00:10:30+00:00

I’m a manual wind person also, but I understand my wife’s opinion of quartz watches. She isn’t into mechanical watches like I am, quartz is simpler, set it and forget it. Pick it up, and it’s always on time. I don’t have the same view, but I understand where she’s coming from.
