This looks more like a clock than a watch

thats very common in Asia. many times a game to dissuade ppl from going online, but only buy from AD.

maybe the salesperson just wanted people to buy from him, so he spread those rumours

anyone know when Stowa will start selling those new models? shown in Basel 2010
http://www.basel2010.com/en/stowa-flieger-baumuster-b.php

Flieger with B dial ? nice. i wanna get one.
630 euro
where to buy ?

That's what Jorg Schauer from Stowa replied me on 30 March, 2010.

alfredfx, we can buy the watch from Stowa onlineshop.

interestingly, they are not updated on the site yet.
iirc malaysia need to pay the 16% VAT which brings te cost to EUR630.

patryn, for me, original flieger should remain date-less. Just me

Can this watch be considered a classic?

not updated.

the limited edition is nicer imho

How much does it cost in Malaysia?

Not sure about this model, but seems people is more keen on DW-5600C

true the original looks like this and I like the design. I just find watches with date more convenient for daily use. I guess i am part of the group that enjoy more practical usage of a watch. esp its equip with ETA 2824, the original design got to have the date wheel remove. They should have a original flieger in Durowe 7440 movement or the unitas 6489 (also shown below) not the LE version, its like the 1st design is in UNITAS 6300 or DUROWE all mechanical (back looks pretty)

so patryn, which one is your pick?
I'll go for the second one, a modified 6497 huh?

I already made my pick!
if Stowa is releasing the mechanical non-LE version on Swan neck. that will be my pick, don't care if its on Unitas or DUROWE (DUROWE better of course!). if its a ETA 2824, the date is my pick.
then again, if its display back, then its subjected to magnetism. no soft iron core, like those in the good old days.
the original group, only IWC iirc have soft iron core.

homage brands (cheap).. I only can think of CW with soft iron core like IWC but I don't like the design

ETA 2824 with date, with soft iron core. Speedbird III, all met your criteria.


But then again, I'll go for DUROWE if got one

Yes, especially after Osama bin Laden was seen wearing it in his video. It's also the watch that terrorists prefer because it's easy to mod into a trigger for bombs.

true, but the dial is ugly.. and on top of that its a ETA 2824 standard version at GBP 340. will update the 1st post on value homage with iron core.
Stowa is a higher grade since they all come with blue screws. on top of that Stowa do make the effort to inspect the movement received from ETA and regulate to Stowa specs.
Speedbird , no real histroy. brand is called Speedbird? certainly its cheap. is that swiss movement UK made? seem like Timefactors are the ones making it. seem like a mix bag, the 1st version is swiss, then its german by Ickler then now on the dial is Britain.

interesting read on Fricker and Ickler.

this thread not so accurate

those low on budget wanna get something close to the original look. EUR 365 (305 gbp) but they are all standard ETA 2824 like Speedbird.
