A Week On The Wrist: The Glycine Airman No. 1
“During most of my journey from Bangkok to Calcutta, I was seated at the place of the First Officer, next to the commander in a DC-4 from Thai Airways. The captain explained to me in detail what kind of watch pilots from all nations would actually need. According to him this watch is not on the market.”Those words were penned in 1953 by Samuel Glur, a traveling executive with the Altus-Glycine watch company of Biel, Switzerland. His letter went on to list the requirements for the perfect pilot’s watch for the new era of intercontinental commercial air travel. The watch would be able to track two time zones on a 24-hour scale, giving a pilot access to both his local time as well as a GMT reference, important since GMT is the time standard referred to by air traffic control no matter where a plane is in the world. 1 OF 5 The resulting watch, the fittingly named Glycine Airman, debuted only months later, first presented in the U.S. with a white dial and pen

Omega de Ville, lot of diamonds
I posted on the rolexforum about a vintage submariner I have. Now I know much more about Rolex and started to like my watch, and don't want to sell it anymore. Luckily I also have a Omega ladies which I can sell. Anybody know the +/- value of below watch? I'm looking for weeks on the internet for similar Omega watch, but cannot find.

Panerai Owners Club
I have not seen an owners club for Panerai on this forum.Is there one?If not, why not? We all seem to take a lot of pride in our watches.What image would you want as a .gif or jpeg to have as a signature? I would personally choose one of Traveller's photos, or HDHUNTER's or Aboen's 372 or Nishant's 305 or Takuya's 233 or or or so many to chose from.Anyway, if someone wants to donate a photo, we can have a little image with some text on it to include in our sigs like the Submariner Owners club I have in mine.Just a thought.Cheers! Sorry wrong sub forum, Can a mod lease move this?
