One more incoming for Flieger Friday ✈️

Apr 26, 2024,17:15 PM
 

This will complete my “Flieger Experiment.” Once landed, this will be the 5th such pilot style watch I will have tried over the course of the last few months. In search of my favorite Flieger. I just received this email from Germany:


“Hi, Like I promised, your watch is finished. I would like to test it this weekend and ship on Monday.

best regards”



I’ll be sure to share pics upon arrival. So far, the benchmark has been set high by Stowa, and this incoming will have big shoes to fill

✈️ 😀👍🏻

You (and Dimardi) are the „fliefluencer“

– curious what the fifth might be. Five Fliegers=five brands with Reichsluftfahrtministerium-approved B-Uhren? Here is my Type A Stowa 40 hw. I thought I should get one after all those Flieger posts… Very happy with it. Best, Ivo ...  

LOL. But true!

Looking good!

I spit out my drink laughing when you say Fliefluencer! 😂😂 Not Reichsluftfahrtministerium-approved B-Uhren. However I wanted to see which brand I’d enjoy most in the approx $1k USD range. I tried Stowa, Laco, Archimede and Damasko (which is more of a pilo...  

Yes, And I like the slim 9.2 mm

Of the handwound. Also ordered the short strap which is plenty – if worn UNDER the flieger jacket…

I’m a huge fan

Of the sleek case, and wouldn’t have this watch any other way than hand wound ! Yes, I wear it UNDER my work shirt (which is my Flieger jacket, LOL)

Mine came on regular length strap

I ordered a short length from Stowa and it suits my wrist better. Unbelievable value for this substantial and cool vintage style strap for only $36 USD shipped! 👍🏻

So I am pleased

that German products are still able to satisfy overseas customers – hoping there is no tiny writing „Made in the PRC“ on the lining of the strap…

Thanks Mark! 🙏🏻
