Heh mine pictured is the same one but in red and with a spare deployant clasp I had in the drawer. Looks sharp!

I bought this watch about 3 months ago, and have patiently waited to get my hands on it. I’ll put together a review at some point but don’t want to rush into it as the instant love isn’t there, maybe it’s a grower

This is a great thread that has now been running for over a year, which I've just been reviewing as I'm looking for inspiration for an Aviator / Flieger watch to go with a couple of 20mm straps I've bought this week.

OK; I've got my C9 2011 FLE and Tribus TRI-05 303 Squadron both of which are fairly svelt (slimline) but I'm thinking of something chunkier.

Any ideas?

Guy, you are priceless mate! The rest of the world buys a couple of straps to go with a watch.

Absolutely brilliant post!

I’ve not owned any but I’m feeling drawn to the aviation line from Zero West: https://zerowest.watch/watches/

Perhaps something there will strike your fancy?

I aim to own one again soon. Mine was stolen from a hotel room in Goa 12 years ago. I was there for four days, flying a 767. The airline’s insurance was capped at £1500 so I was gutted. I loved that watch and had only just replaced the leather strap at some cost. What I will say is that it’s the only Breitling I would ever own…and it kept terrible time. Looked great though…

Here we go, Steve.

Fresh in today, from the Bay of e, a 'new' Laco Augsburg classic Flieger type A. Blue galvanic dial, 42mm case with 20mm lug width.

The NATO strap is original but I'm sure I'll get it swapped out at some point.

^^^^^^ very nice Guy, it’s got an air of IWC’s Petit Prince about it.

There's a thread about that somewhere that I mean to post in, Steve.

Tourby have a sale on at minute and make some great pilot watches. Zeno watch Basel have a good range as well diameters going from 38mm to 47mm in both manual or automatic so there is a fair amount of choice.
