avroair Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) GCF time, which means... Aviator time... My caching name, Avroair comes from Avro the plane manufacturer (of which my grandfather flew) and I added air on the end when AOL told me my user name wasn't long enough in 1989! I have always been interested in planes and I have my grandfather's original 1943 aviators watch. There are 4 versions: satin silver satin gold antique silver (my version) antique gold There are 50 of each, the AS I will be trading and giving away, the three others will be at the Oakcoins booth at GCF.

YemonYime Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Nice touch on the engine intake. Looks cool! Any significance to 9:51, other than the hands being at the standard "happy" position? BTW, if it was a minute earlier, you'd have 10 to 10 on the 10th! Bah, so much for my pinpoint analysis. Just noticed that I had the hands reversed! So it's actually 1:51. A little early for tea time, so there goes another theory. Edited September 15, 2010 by YemonYime Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I'm drawn to all the details, and also appreciate that it's an updated design that still is true to the theme of your personals. Nicely done. Hope to see you at the Saturday night event for some trading. Quote Link to comment

I tried 9:19 but that didn't look good, so I ended up leaving them at the happy position. Quote Link to comment

+Team kizb Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) Very nice looking coin! Will they also be for sale on Geoswag's website after the event? Edited September 18, 2010 by Team kizb Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Definitely a very nice looking coin in the AS! My father also had a watch similar to that one. Sadly it was stolen in a break in of our house. Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 WOW!!! Very pretty!!!! Is there a new version of the Aviator coin every year? I have the 2008 ABr I think! Quote Link to comment
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Nice coin Mark! I think my begging will start NOW! Please bring an extra with you to the 10-10-10 event so I can give you more and more of my money! I don't care which version, but I got the money for it! See you soon! And just because I need more exclamation points, here is another one! Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Well, I gave away or traded all but a couple of the Aviators AS, and Oakcoins sold a bunch of the other three versions, we held back some for sale on geowag.com Quote Link to comment
+Team kizb Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Great! Looking forward to being able to get one from Geoswag. Quote Link to comment

I wanted to stop by your table at GCF and take a gander at those, but we were so darn busy at our MnGCA table, I totally spaced it out. They look great!

avroair Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yep. Bought a couple of each version... the 50 AS were given to me in the split. 50 for me for free and the rest for Oakcoins (geoswag) to sell. Worked out well Quote Link to comment
