Aeromatic Chrono?

[fin racer]

Hi all.

First post on PH and its not even car-related!

Anyone bought or is thinking of buying an Aeromatic?

I have fallen in lust with a Large Night Fighter V3 chrono I saw on WernersFlyingMachines site, and just wanted to know, with the cost, where is the catch?

thanks

The catch is they are too expensive on that site.

If you source one from elsewhere, they are a decent watch for the money but at WFW prices... too dear.

seen them on ebay for circa £60-80, from german-automatic.

I understand they are not strictly German design and manufacture. The movements are Far Eastern and they are "assembled" or "finished" in Germany.

No matter to me, I absolutely love how they look. Also hankering after a Tauchmeister XXL....

I can recommend them to deal with.

I see you bought a V5 Aeromatic and a Tauchmeister already! We have obviously very similar taste!

I bought one of these http://www.wernersflyingwatches.com/products.asp?ProID=188 about 18 mnths ago, before the prices went up. The strap is not great quality but a £10 timefactors aviator strap soon sorted that. Its a great looking watch and attracts a lot of positive comments.
Keeps perfect time, as you would expect, although I have managed to put a very light scratch on the crystal - it does not have a hard life so I am not sure how it could have scratched so easily.

For something different, especially if you can get one for £60 - £80 then you will be getting good value for money.

Agreed. I picked one up off of ebay for nearly 70% less then on WFW.
