A dyslexic man walks into a bra…..
An old mafia don is dying and he calls his grandson to his bed.
-“You listen to me. I want for you to take my chrome plated 38 revolver so you will always remember me.”
-“But grandpa, I really don’t really like guns. How’s about you leave me your gold Rolex Day Date President reference 1803 with serti stella dial and non-quickset caliber 1556 instead?”…

Greetings all and hope everyone is in good health.
I’m hoping to start a thread here for aviation enthusiasts and pilots who also happen to be into watches (like me) 😀
A place to shoot the breeze on all things aviation related and to share stories and pics. To me, the world of aviation and watches have always been inextricably linked so I thought it fitting to create a thread which brings these two areas of interest together.

I discussed the potential dynamics of a second Trump presidency and the critical questions surrounding his leadership and what his administration might look like.
