Bet you the English bros. would consider it; the NTPS got some of the ALT1-Zs or ALT1-Ps (can't remember which) a couple of years ago. I would think about jumping in on that if it just had Pilot/NFO wings on it.

Which watch?

Yeah, the boys from England have a SWEEEEEEET deal.
Minimum is ten identical pieces.
Pricing is 50% of retail.
I'm happy to take point on an order.

No kidding? What is retail on the Alt1-Z and C? I also like the civilian version of the U2...consider me interested.
The google search returned a retail price of $4200 in Feb 2008 for ALT1-Z. Given the annual/semi-annual price increase that most of these watches have it is probably closer to $4.5-7 now.
Edit: I misjudged the inflation rate.
As of April 2010:
"Retail $5,250 (leather), $5,880 (bracelet)"
Holy shit, I like nice watches, but I can't imagine paying that. I haven't seen a Bremont in person, but it doesn't seem that special. For that kind of money I would rather have a watch that has actual functions, like an airwolf. Or have one given to me, and be delivered tomorrow....
For the U-2 verison, $2250 pricing to us was what was quoted, with $4800 as the specified MSRP. "Similar pricing of 50%+ off retail" available on the ALT1-Z is what the woman exactly said. I've asked here for an exact figure.
It doesn't have an alarm. That's about all I see that the Airwolf can do that the ALT1-Z can't. The Bremont also never needs batteries or winding.
Plus multiple time zones, a slide rule, and digital displays that are much easier to read. Plus, if I'm gonna blow that kind of cash on a watch I would want a watch that people would actually be able to recognize. I had never heard of a Bremont until this thread. But to each his own. The need for only 10 orders for a custom watch is certainly nice.
Not quite the price point some of you big-ballers are looking at, but I've been very happy with my Citizen Nighthawk. Works well both in and out of the cockpit, and has yet to get a scratch in either. Got me to the boat and back (and more importantly in time to get into the open trunk waiting for me at 0600 the next morning for the first wave of RTB jets)

Those are pretty slick watches. I know several pilots that wear them. However, it should have had a display to tell you to stay and party rather than fly back right away. We stayed in Jax for four days...
Haha I agree, that part was BS. Can hardly complain though, we NALO'd out, arrived Friday (early afternoon), hit the bars until Tues when we did an hour bounce session up at Miramar, then hung out on the beach until Thurs when we went hook down.....all in all we got quite a bit of time to enjoy San Diego. Little did I know, I'd be seeing a lot more of it shortly thereafter
Crazy talk! Aviator watches aren't meant to be used in the cockpit (where they could end up with a scratch!), they're used to boost your bar act and they're more effective than a stack of ribbons in letting everyone know how much time you've spent "over there" - since clearly you must have gotten most of the year tax free to consider dropping that much coin on a watch :icon_wink
