    After such a great experience with the Portuguese family post - I would like to invite you to bring your Pilot Watches to the collectors forum parade !

    Big, Small and Mid size -let's document how diverse the Pilots family is with a great photo gallery.

    I start the flight path control with a Mark XII Cathay Pacific.

    It all started for me 12 years ago with a Mark XV. My current pilot is a Transitional BP. I'm hoping my pilots will one day be expanded by a CFIII.

    Is that a rare SAAF Mark XI in the first photo Antonio.

    I thought you were going to show a photo of yourself - a pilot ;-) to see three splendid Mark XI's is a catch.

    Hi Andrew,
    The first and the second images are of a BOAC Mark 11, presumably even more rare than the SAAF Mark 11.

    Here are my two pilot's watches, lovely. Notice how dark the straps became over the last few years: originally they were a reddish dark brown. The Vintage Collection Pilot's Watch gets regular wrist time, the Saint Exupéry Chrono is lagging behind a bit lately. I wonder if anybody here has the complete Saint Exupéry collection.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    something new...

    i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l497/vanhalen812/3705/IMG-20120329-01534.jpg

    a quick pic of a 3705 i scooped up that had been sitting at a dealers for 2 years unwanted. thought I get it before I left for holidays. the imprint of another pilot still remarkable on my wrist - no prizes for guessing which other pilot that is.

    Yes Tony. I agree with Alan. If not, at least make the swirls "Counter Clock".
    It would make the photo sooooo much better ! LOL

    Shing:

    My guess is the 3717 Swiss Patroulle. What.... no prize? Tracy has lots of Prizes...LOL

    Nice pick-up on that 3705.

    Enjoy,

    what, no prize!? that imprint is unmistakable, only a beast of a pilot watch can leave that mark:

    exactly right Thang - it was a 5002 imprint :)

    Hajo - brilliant ! had it been a german dial, I would have gotten it too. in fact, I am looking forward to getting a non-english dial for an IWC I like - good to start learning another language :)
