This is a great watch, had this watch “leather variant” for over 5yrs now and has held up nicely. No tears or rips in the leather. I have a 7inch wrist and the band just reaches past the second loop. If you have bigger wrists then I would go with SS band.

I had tgis same version on leather in 2007. Yes it has been around that long!!! I paid 700 USD new from AD back then. Now they are much more. I probably will have another in the near future. Thanks for showcasing this DK.

I paid $900 for mine brand new earlier this year. The store had it up for $1100 and I said "all's I got is 9", and they said "okay" lol. That's why I always ask at least once for a lower price.

Thank you for the great instruction on cross wind calc with the watch! I ordered my X Wind on leather strap (I like heavy big watches) yesterday (no chrono though) and will see if I can actually pull off this calculation manually and have it work in MSFS lol -- subbed and liked!

Difficult cross wind correction calculation. Most easy procedure during flight: 1. Upper ring red triangle on top (12). Via bottom ring set A/C HDG on top (040). This is the starting position. Continue rotating the upper ring (triangle) clockwise to wind direction (070) - it is at 1 o`clock. On the outer ring align A/C speed with the triangle on the upper ring. You do not need to get off the watch from the wrist! Just imagine a vertical line that goes through a red triangle (or dot at 1 o`clock) and an intersecting line that halves watch horizontally (passes through dot at 9, center and dot at 3 o`clock). If the whole circle (defined with the inner part of the upper ring) represents 40mph wind, you can estimate that intersection is exactly at 1/2 so cross wind component is 20mph. On the outer ring find 20 and reed degrees on the upper ring -> 6.4deg exactly. So no need to calculate too much. Everything in the air has to be simple. Another cool function of this calculator is calculating correction HDG if you find yourself OFF-TRACK. Example: you are 3Nm OFF-TRACK due weather avoidance and 25Nm to the next waypoint. Procedure: Set upper ring (triangle) on top (12 o`clock). Rotate outer ring 25 on top. Read angle (degrees) on upper ring opposite 30 on outer ring -> 7deg. New HDG for direct flight to WP requires 7 deg correction.

I was sensing your lack of enthusiasm w/ this piece. I know that feeling of frustration when you just can't get the piece to wear right. At least for me, it can kind of put me off of a watch. I often go through that w/ pieces as my weight fluctuates throughout the seasons. Rightnow for some reason, I'm at a high point w/ my weight, and all of my bracelets have gotten tighter....some much tighter. IDK why.....maybe the box of oatmeal creme pies I polish off throughout the course of the night each night, are a bit more fattening than I thought???🤔 Nawwwwww.......!!!! Anyway, great review, and try to stay positive. Life is very good for us, to be able to enjoy something we like so much, each day. Most days, all day long. How many others can say that about their hobby??? Not many brother....not many. Take care. Cheers....

What exactly am I looking at to identify the .5 (of the 6.5), reading? Or is it an approximation?
@degenerateWA
Жыл бұрын
It's a general approximation. Often times with navigation "close enough" is good enough. As long as you're headed in the right direction, you can tighten up your numbers as you get closer and observe your course-over-ground in relation to the plane's heading
