LOL, well I did not figure my post would make people leave the forum.

Just picked it up on Saturday. Still has that new car smell. I'm a coder so I sit and code all day long. Takes 2 seconds to slip on a sweatband to protect the clasp on the bracelet. My last watch was pretty scratched up after a year or so, so maybe I want to ease into creating the patina of use . Yeah I will take it off, maybe in a couple of weeks.

It does seem bit dorky to do that. ...But honestly, I'd do the same thing.

Thanks for the tip!

Stuck in traffic next to someone in a Charger with a rattle of subwoofer. Perfect.

I will, my last watch looked pretty rough by the time I flipped it.

Agree. It's my favorite pp. Pics don't do it justice, especially the beautiful sunburst chocolate dial. Can be dressed up or down. Very useful complications, a bit more wr, great legibility and lume. Surprised it isn't more popular being that pp has a history of making a few pilot watches. Enjoy that beauty.
