A slightly uncommon Flieger...
From the IWC's Vintage line, this one's the ltd. pilot in Pt., 44mm, w/hand wound F.A. Jones caliber. Hope you guys like it ! Had a brutal tooth extraction earlier today. Trying to relax and distract myself from the pain... ...
Thanks for the like and the luck!
The beast is definitely fun to wear and reasonably slim to boot. Vicodin is my savior for at least a few hours.
Thank you 🙏🏻
and good luck with your implant! It's a wonder how people managed in the days before Novocaine.
Was not aware they used this movement
Didn’t IWC also a smaller size? Probably I’m wrong as I never paid attention to the size back then. Keep enjoying the watch in this painful moment… Dirk
I'm not sure, but I think it has fallen into disuse except as the base in the IWC Minute Repeater.
Thank you for your kind thoughts!
Went true the same procedure not to long ago, so I feel your pain!
But with this heavy weight you’re in good company. I did not know about the PT reference, but I like it. Quick recovery…
Thank you 🙏🏻, feeling better after a (medicated) night's sleep!
This Pilot is slim (at least compared to the BP), but also has a nice Pt heft that feels satisfying on the wrist.
I definitely agree
Case - movement size parity is always nice to see. And yes, it's hefty (in a good way) !
Sweet Watch!!!!
I find it more appealing than anything in their current pilots watch lineup. The manual winding movement looks enchanting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for looking !
The white dial has a fresh look to me and the manual movement is very pleasant to wind.
