Looking for a flieger..

Homer

Ok so there's a gap in my collection for a nice flieger.. What do the WIS here recommend?! There's a possible Panerai incoming soon so don't want to spend too much on this..

I've already ruled this one out for obvious reasons..

Even a rough idea of budget? A few Steinharts on TZ recently. Or Fortis, Aristo, Zeno, Parnis?

Saw the Steinharts on TZ and they looked the part! That's roughly the budget I was looking at <€500
I know one of them is sold but I might drop a PM about the other one cheers.
Any other suggestions in my budget let me know

Have you looked at Laco ?

42mm Auto @ €398

If you really want to save some cash and dont require swiss you could try one of the Ticino pilots. Available in type A or B dial fitted with a top grade Miyota 9015 and a choice of 44 or 47mm case size. Prices $199 - $239 and about $150 on the forums. Sterile dial so whose gonna know.

Laco with a Miyota can be on the cheaper end also.

There were 3 on the first page when I looked last night. 2 in one post, and a DLC one in another. Not usually a fan of the DLC watches, but I think it looked pretty cool, but then again I don't really like the vintage look of fliegers - it just doesn't suit me.

Deep Thought

The only thing about the Steinharts are the Size

The smallest is 44mm, but the crown is quite big.

I found it was digging into the back of my hand

Also the water resistance is not great.

The Laco are 42mm and they have a great history of supply watches during the War like Stowa

Also, how about a Timefactors from Eddie on the TZ site...maybe a Speedbird or the PRECISTA CZECH AIR FORCE - PRS-9
