Mido Commander 8259 In Flight!

Helluva wrist shot 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you!

Great Mido! Love the pics!! Very much an under covered brand and model, and I do indeed like the Commander Big Date, which due to this post I notice are quite reasonable in the grey market when I just checked. 😁😆

Thank you! Are you going to get one?

Nah, probably not. I am into smaller case watches at moment, so more likely to pick up a vintage Mido if I came across the right one. Same for Rado.

I’m with you. 37mm is my sweet spot.

I posted several vintage Midos in the past. Have a look and see if anything inspires you!

Any questions on any of them, just let me know.

Will do. Love your Midos - and Rados! I think I see an awesome aesthetics theme to your collection. 💪

Thank you!

Vintage Mido watch are so great. Here's mine.

So fresh and so clean.

Awesome watch!

Sweet

This has got the standard watch + car wheel badge flaunt beat all to hell. Kudos. Lovely Mido too!

Love that gold dial! And it’s a chronometer! Magnificent.

Thank you! I’m just keeping it real out here….

Thanks :) Successful FleaBay hunt many many moons ago :) I don't like too many seventies styles, but there are a few designs that transcend the decade. Mido, in my mind, had quite a few :) I think they have always made good honest watches with a distinctive flair.

That watch is Stellar. I mean Wow nice I love it.

Thank you!

Beautiful watch! I have a Commander, here's the photo!

Your photos on the plane are great!

That’s a lovely watch!

The cool thing about taking shots in flight is that even if they aren’t perfect, people cut you some slack!

Thanks for your comment! Flight photos have their charm! I am a fan of aviation!

Cheers!

I post them for time to time so stay tuned!

Perfect! I'm following you! So I don't miss those photos!

Mido: IT MUST HAVE SYMMETRYYYYY!

Are you in a simulator or one of those poser fake planes Instagramers hire?

All I can say is that a simulator wouldn’t require an $80,000 engine replacement!

I just had everything from the firewall forward rebuild or replaced. Total was almost $80K. 0 time prop, 0 time engine and all new accessories.

The retro charm of #mido vintage-inspired watches adds a nostalgic touch to any watch collection."
