Great watch. Loved mine.



As for ABP - I ordered on the 17th & have just had an email saying my delivery will be today.
Thanks guys, will call David Duggan and ABP tomorrow. Andy did your delivery arrive...?
See previous post. Avoid ABP. Complete amateurs.

Flieger in the bathroom.
Flieger 36 Classic is on my radar! No date, hand wound options. Love the brand and its rich marine chronometer history. The ETA movements in them are top grade and elaborately decorated and seem to gain barely +1s a day.

Flieger would complete my 3 mechanical watch combo for sporty, casual and formal.

The Stowa Flieger Bronze Vintage is my absolute grail watch.

Go for it, a great brand, great watches and with exceptional customer service.



This will be arriving soon to go alongside my Flieger and Antea 1919. smile

New battery for the old girl this morning.

Wedding gift (birth year) from the wife, I don't wear it enough and she notices!

If anyone can suggest a place to look for suitable (its such a tiny dainty watch by modern standards) leather strap for it I would be grateful.

Cheers, it's going to be passed down to the kids when I'm gone along with the Railmaster & Black Bay.

I reckon that would look good on Milanese Mesh.

Nice one! I got one of these straps on my titchy little 35mm Seiko Goldfeather. Just a single layer of leather with no stitching makes it really slim and it's rare to find any strap in 16mm wide.

You'll have to check the size for yourself though.
