    Yes, I know that currently milestones are meant to be pieces of the Vintage collection. I am still waiting.

    Nevertheless I wanted to share with you what the St.Ex. Chrono is meant for. As I recently got my PPL, I thought I should share these pictures with you. In flight and right after (another day) :)

    Cheers

    Agamemnon

    "Step on the ball" . . .

    Congratulations on the Pilot Certificate! Now, step on the ball and coordinate that slight climbing turn!

    Stylishly done with that St. Ex timepiece.

    Welcome to the fraternity.

    Regards,

    OCD (ATP Airline Transport Pilot and former Instructor Pilot, too)

    Celebrating a milestone

    Wow... guess that's why I only go after dive watches... that seems the easiest way to use a theme watch compared to Polo, Planes etc. Congrats to your PPL!

    BTW: Just so that you don't forget - this is the recommended way to do preflight inspections watch-wise... ;-)

    Congrats Agamemnon..

    The only airmiles my watches get are in the passenger seat :-(

    Enjoy your PPL and take care!

    Kind regards,

    Clemens (wearing the St Ex Chrono while I type this)

    The ball was tough :)

    Last Sunday was really busy. I drove away of Paris at 9:30, towards the East for 380 km in an MX-5. I had to step on the accelerator for 3 hours (yes, I broke a bit the speed limit - shhhh!)

    A couple of hours later I was flying the C172N. That plane is fine, but the rudder trim is fixed kind to the left. So after 3 hours of drive, it was already hard to step all the time on the ball :)

    Cheers

    Agamemnon

    P.S. Unlike the US Version, European MX-5s do not offer the option for a cruise control.

    Thank you Clemens!

    If you drive south, we could arrange a dual command flight. So your St.Ex would get its first "real" miles :)
