A frequent flyer and a flieger - IWC Top Gun Miramar
Team,
I used to fly A LOT and this may explain why I love pilot watches.
One of my preferred watches is the Top Gun Miramar (no relation with the so so movie):
Here with my 1 million miles luggage tag (1 million real miles! 1.6 million of kilometers, equivalent of 40 trips around the globe) that I "clocked" on a single airline.
B&W:
An old wrist shot:
The Miramar is as close I have for a perfect watch.
Pilot's legibility, great in house movement wrapped by a gorgeous black ceramic case.
Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo

I love this model!!! It is on I would like to pick up down the road.
Thanks for sharing very beautiful.
That's the 46mm model...
If I remember, the new one that I saw at SIHH is more human 44mm. Cheers Nilo
I really ought to have one of these watches...
HI Nilo, As another frequent flier, I had this (non-Miramar) Top Gun once, and liked it. But I sold it (hearing stories of the early ceramic case breaking, I think). A mistake. It was one of the first watches I ever bought brand new at the dealer. I lived...
Now I will cry...
The Concorde has been a dream of mine since being a little child. Sadly is stopped flying the odd year too soon for me to have realized it Was quite excited by Virgin\'s plan to continue flying them and disappointed when it did not work out Great watch, b...
My closest encounter to the Concorde ...
... was when I saw it two or three planes prior to us waiting in the flightline on JFK. I adored that plane, unreasonable as it always was! And especially your shot into the cockpit tells of times long gone - today, you risk being stopped at gunpoint when...
You won!!!!
By 2 million miles. Mine are real miles, not including any bonus. I never had the opportunity to fly on the Concord. My bad. Congratulations, Nilo
Neither of us can win; someone else is always ahead
Just like in life. Sorry didn\'t mean to be competing. Last September I was in Chicago trying to get an upgrade on a flight, when the airline club lady said the guy ahead of me in line had 12 million, and there was another local guy she knew approaching 2...
Tom Stuker is the king daddy of United miles,
And I suspect miles on any airline. He should be approaching 17 million by now, most earned when United used only butt-in-seat miles. Let\'s see, it\'s February, so he should be well past 1K requalification by now. I have about 2.2 million miles, sadly di...
Love this dial Nilo
