Where is the flieger from? I wore my Tissell flieger today - a great watch for the price!

 

[Jazzmenco]

It is a non brand - custom built, bought from a seller on ebay many years ago. I like the thick macho strap.

THis is the best watch I’ve ever had and has made me forget about the rolex I was saving for.

Hi all - thinking of getting a new PMW - am stuck in choosing between 2 - seagull 1963 either all in black 38mm or the newer 42mm black version with silver sub dials - will swap the strap of either out for a brown croc leather strap -grateful for any thoughts. Thanks

IMO, undoubtedly the first one. Lugs are better designed, the layout of the dial is very beautiful. Second one is an awful looking microbrand.

@Neognosis I completely understand, Oris is such a good bang for your buck brand.

Personally from these pictures I'd go with the black subdials. The silver subdials somehow looks plastic to me...
