There was a Fleiger shaped hole in my collection so I bought one of these - not sure it's right to call it a favourite with no comparison made but I love it. The only "problem" is my unwillingness to put it on a black strap, it looks great on a bright yellow perlon but it's getting grubby :( (added a picture from when it was new, and sunny :lol: )

I still think the version with the coloured bullseye on the seconds sub-dial is the prettiest.

Thank you and yes, it's been a while. I certainly like the looks of this one over my C8 Mk II Vintage.

I was torn on purchase, but this one has grown on me to be honest
