It's the 2531.80 Seamaster Bond model. I love it and it keeps time within spec.

Wow, I just heard back from Spectra. They have the Boeing spec seat material. I'll be ordering it in around two weeks.
Here is the e-mail I got from Robin:
Hi, Michael,
3158-1701 is a drapery fabric and not suited to upholstery.
I do have some fabric that is the actual 727 cockpit seat fabric. It does take about 1.5 LY per seat placement; fabric width is 54 inches.
Price for this material in cut yardage (less than half-rolls of 25 LY) is $49.95 per LY. Terms are cash before delivery, plus a $25.00 UPS delivery charge.
If you are interested let me know. I'll research the part number and email that back to you.
Best regards,
Robin Butler

If anyone needs this material, the pattern number is C29374/44. It is called Gray Honeycomb.
It is the actual seat material used on the Boeing aircraft when in gray.Boeing Skunk Works

I made and attached the arms this morning. They're held on with 5/16" bolts. The heads have been countersunk and JB Welded into the armrests. They attach from the inside and are double nutted. When its time to button up the back, they will be Loc-Tite'd so they don't back off.
They look a little thin right now, but after a layer of padding and the vinyl covering is added I think they will fill out to what looks more normal.
They are just ripped 2"x4"'s
The inertial reel harness is on the way too.
Armrests are 17-3/4" long, 1/2" thick at the front and 2" thick at the back. They are attached 9-1/8" up from the base of the seat back.

Really nice looking seats Michael, good job there!
Im planning on getting some older Honda or Jeep seats for the Learjet, and possibly cutting out the column area, and covering with faux sheepskin to hid the cut.
