    Top Gun ? .........

    Swyane,
    I tried on a ceramic Top Gun Pilot's-Chrono last Saturday at my
    AD in Massachusetts. It was nice. Very light weight compared to
    the 371704 that I wear. I did not buy it or take any photos. I'm
    on the waiting list for a Big Pilot's and unfortunately can't buy them all.
    Good Luck Hunting,
    Joe.

    I have seen it- looks good and quite big.

    Sorry but I have no idea when you might see them in the USA and no pics either.

    pictures

    I have tried it at my AD two weeks ago. Here a picture on my wrist and one which shows it in comparison with my 3717.

    Am I the only one?

    I am wondering if I am the only one that dislikes this watch due to the TOP GUN insignia it bears.

    No, you are not

    Certainly when these Top Gun watches were presented the opinion on the German forum was very negative, much more than here on the English forum. I myself am not a huge fan, the logo at the back I find outright ugly. But then, when you wear the watch you don't see it, so that is not really a problem. At the moment the watch is growing on me, although I will not buy one: there are limits, and other beautiful watches will come. From the marketing point of view I find it a very smart concept: a few pilot's families that sell very well, for every taste one.

    It is nice to dislike a watch, it gives you the opportunity to buy another one that you like better.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing Portuguese Perpetual Calendar
