Or get what I got for $20 on the street in NYC. It's a pilot watch, or at
least looks like one: Big, heavy, chrome, with a rotating bezel with all the
E6B stuff on it, lots of dials, etc. Perfect for impressing the girls...
Except the E6B bezel has both scales on the rotating part. They don't rotate
relative to each other. Just a sham. Still it impresses the ladies. "Are you
a real pilot?" "Sure, just look at my watch." I always wear it when I'm not
with other pilots. Not bad for $20.

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

| Thanks a lot....
