If you want an E6b to use, buy a nice metal full or pocket
size from one of the suppliers, such as ASA, Sporty's, or
Aircraft Spruce.

If you want a watch, buy a watch, combinations of the two
are unwieldy and don't work well.

If you want to impress the girls, get a big pocket watch.

| Hi. I am a bit confused. I saw this watch on Amazon and a
reviewer
| states it is not a real EB6:
|
| "The E6-B rule bezel is incomplete, however operational.
For a perfect
| calculation, you must have a "mirror" of the main
functions of the
| rule bezel printed within the watch, just like any
Jeppesen Computer.
| Although I knew this when I bought the watch, it's still
important to
| mention that. There are watches in the market with a
complete E6-B
| rule bezel."

| But I've looked at other watches, like the one I want, and
the "slide
| rule" seems the same on all of them:

| I want a real EB6; what am I missing? Is this guy right?
Is the
| latter watch true EB6? How do you tell?

| Thanks a lot....
