Ahoy there matey! I nearly went for the Stowa, ended up getting the Archer as I didn't want a date window.
I'm a big fan of those hands, nice choice!
So I recently got this guy after about two and a half months of waiting, including a delay on their end due to an illness. They were nice enough to give me a free pocket knife with my order. I swapped in a contrast stitched, camel leather strap in the order to give it a bit of pop. This silver dial is truly surreal, seeing it in the bright sun for the first time was unbelievable; in very glad I doesn't the extra money on it. I will definitely but from them again as it was a relatively painless experience despite being very antsy to receive the piece. I hope you guys enjoy it! I'm definitely buying a Fleiger at some point, once my wallet is replenished from this bad boy.
Gorgeous watch! I love that they are using the A 10 in these now, much higher quality movement than the ETA-2824. Plus it makes the watch thinner.
I'm the opposite of you: have a Flieger and almost certainly going to buy one of these eventually. Enjoy it.
Ah OK, I get it now. I was looking at the pics saying "wtf, I didn't get a pocket knife with mine!". Thought maybe it was something new that they were doing. Awesome watch, Congrats!
Such a beautiful watch, congrats! What is your wrist diameter btw? Was looking at these but thought it might be just a little too big for my wrist.
My wrist is about 7 1\8". I think 40mm is a good size for me, anything larger would probably annoy me.

There you go! Excuse the cell phone blurriness.
Nice. That's a great movement as an alternative to the ETA's that Stowa uses. It would be nice to have an Airman with an A10.
