A Fleiger

Deep Thought

Am looking at a fleiger

Was considering Laco, Hamilton, Stowa, Steinhart

Hammy -http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DDVQ098/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2EWCJCDK1ZEDW

Laco -https://shop.laco.de/en/Fliegeruhren-A.html

Stowa (not sure which one) -http://www.stowa.de/lshop,showrub,141582344524102,de,1415823445-24102,flieger,,,,.htm

Steinhart - (think they may be too big) http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/pilot-watch.html

Laco and stowa have a great history...Hammie looks really nice..

Any recommendations ?

Stowa all the way as far as I am concerned.
Best quality and value for money.
Very good customer service as well.
If you have a small wrist 6.5-7.5 The stowa is also perfect size.
The Steinharts are huge!

bbbbb

I like pilot/ flieger but yes, some are huge.
Another option in this price bracket is archimede

I'm wearing my Steinhart fleiger as I type, it's small, for a fleiger, merely 44mm.

Cool...thats the one I ordered, but with an engraved rotor

TedR

good decision! Stowa are supposed to be a bit slow with completing orders, or so I have heard anyway, when do you hope to get hands on it? Did they give a likely delivery time

I have the Ikarus from Stowa...basically similar dimensions as the flieger
Did you get the blued hands?

You is the man(jammy fecker). I had a feeling in my waters when I read the email... Congrats Sir, it is a beauty and well may you wear.

Cheers, I'll post pics when it arrives. I must admit I get giddy just at the idea of having won something like this :P. And while the thought of flipping it has crossed my mind, I'm feeling it would be bad form to do so.
Should the time come however, I would turn to boards first, and you can have first refusal DT. Though I reckon I'll need to be in dire straits to do it.
