I finally got a moment to take some quick shots of my two awesome Christmas watches. I guess this was my flieger Christmas.;)

In what is becoming a Holiday tradition for me, I purchased a Dievas watch from 3T's good friend Anders. This year I am lucky to have received Flieger Timer #11 from Anders. This is just a phenomenal looking flieger with a striking dial and ultra perfect case. To make it just to perfect, the Flieger Timer is equipped with a vintage ETA 2452 which run at a leisurely 18,000 bps making the second hand a wonder to behold. Fantastic AR inside the crystal. some have pshawed the bezel... personally I like it. Just a great watch which I am happy to have added to my collection. comes on a super soft handmade leather strap which is numbered to match the watch case. This was removed after a wrist shot and traded for a color matched Dievas strap. I'll be swapping straps on this one for different looks.

Also arriving this Christmas was a second flieger, this time from 3T's friends at DeBaufre. This was a special hoiday purchase on the Nav-B Uhr II 3125. DeBaufre served up a spectacular deal on this 2824 equipped flieger. A beautiful sterile flieger dials calls to mind many classic pilots watches. A 44mm case, domed crystal and unique mushroom crown all combine to give the watch a timeless look imho. The watch is mounted on a high quality DeBaufre strap which looks and feels great.
