    Is not the SB3 for sure, yet, still trying to make funds available for buying SB3. String Ray 70 Pre-built still available on the sales corner.

    Meanwhile somethig i ordered last december 2007 should be reaching me by wednesday.

    The Fedex Man was early.

    My Stowa Serial Airman Flieger, I waited 9 months for this. Well worth the wait.

    Watch is just right. Not as cumbersome as a IWC Big Pilot. See Pics






















    Thanks for looking! Enjoy

    Knowing you Jimbo it must be either a IWC of some kind, or maybe a LRRP?

    So is it a Damasko? Maybe it's that Stowa that's difficult to get hold of that someone put a thread on a few weeks back? Stowa FO limited edition

    Yup. Nice thing that Stowa! Still undecided between this one and the 44mm Steinhart.
    Congrats :-)

    Apart from that ... they are gorgeous. :bounce:

    Apparently the FO is oversubsribed. Waiting list to June 2009 for current order. I guess i am lucky that i am still able to choose between See thru case back and solid case back. I am loving every minute of this watch on my wrist.

    It gives me a even deeper satisfaction than the IWC 5002 Big Pilot which i had in 2004-2005. The 7 days movement was problematic. The time lags when it reaches its last 2 days of reserve. Not good.

    As for the FO, the onion crown doesn't dig the wrist like the diamond crown and the stop second hand feature. Breath taking. Kept twiddling with it. Hope i don't screw it up. LoL :wink:

    Sorry I deleted my entry because the new solid-back ones currently on offer are handwound ETA 2801 and not centre seconds Unitas.

    That explains. I was wondering where did your post go? The new LE is with the smaller hand wound movement. The dial essentialy is the same. I suppose with the Unitas movement FO, i will give this LE a miss.

    I probably will aim for a Stowa MO for my next target in 2010.

    Cheers. Pilot Fleet pictures coming up soon. D

    Perhaps we'll see it in a friday thread, labeled 'This old thing' ;-)

    I'm not sure if the market is still there btw.

    Looks good Jimbo. I like that. Would like a date though. However the case back with movement showing is absolutely beautiful !!
