Steve's Breitling

I had a quick bite with my father in law, Steve. He is a professional pilot - a 737 Captain for Qantas. A running joke with Steve is "how do you know your speaking to a pilot at a party? don't worry he'll tell you in the first 2 minutes..." which really sums up pilots in general.

As a Captain, he was constantly getting "outclassed" by his First Officiers in the watch department. The de rigeur brand for pilots is Breitling (historical link with aeronautics). Most First Officiers were wearing Breitling Aerospaces... well this had to be rectified, so when I was selling my Breitling B-1, Steve "naturally" took it off my hands (wrists?). He has been sporting the B-1 now for over a year and can't give it enough praise. I guess Steve now wins the watch competition in the cockpit!
