Thread: Another pilots watch

  1. #1

    Another pilots watch

    I was thinking of buying another Sinn or omega divers watch or a Breitling of some sort, I looked at the Sinn range and was not taken by anything as I have a EZM 2 and a 756, so went and looked at the Omega and Breitling at Westfield and again was not moved by them and I was not impressed by the value for money of them.

    So with the normal burning need to buy watches, I researched the internet and in the end looked at Stowa.

    I have in the past owned a Stowa flieger but it was a 1990's model and I sold it on as I was not really moved by it and at the time I considered it too small, the latest version is so much nicer with ar coating and display back and now I like watches if they look balanced whatever the size.

    So anyway this is the first of the three Stowa's that I have ordered, I am very impressed with the build quality and finish which is hard to fault at any price.

    Stunning! I've always like the shape of an onion crown but always found them too big and therefore intrusive, but that one looks to be the perfect size and shape.

    Congrats.

    Fair point, but I am going to add a couple of other watches to the thread in the future one of which is not a pilot/nav.

    Really? Why on earth do you care?

    You really must have the easiest life if that's all you have to worry about.

    They are a very nice company to deal with, now all I have to do is wait for my other two.

    What else do you have in the pipeline?

    The wait can be a pain but is worth it in the end. I currently have two and will get a Marine Original at some point.

    I have a Marine auto old logo with top movement and a Flieger 6498 on order,

    Quick update watch runs at +4 secs a day out of the box, which is very good and shows that they spend some time on regulating the watches as they say on their website.

    I become more impressed with the build quality by the hour, it is a very understated but classic design there really is nothing to fault except the strap that it came with, it is ok but the quality does not match the watch and was changed in five minutes.
