 I think I may get a unitas hand-winder next.  There are a lot of them out there and I won't buy one unless it calls my name as loudly as this Dievas did.

Speaking of the BPS of the ETA in the Dievas, I have 4 watches currently in an automatic winder.  One has the Valjoux 7750, One has the ETA 2428-2, another has the ETA 2836-2 COSC, and the other is whatever Seiko put in my Orange Monster.  It's the non-hacking model that beats at about 21,000BPS if I remember correctly.

After about 3 months on the winder, All of the ETA movements show pretty much the same time, though they are a couple of minutes slow.   The Seiko however, has lost about 7 minutes and is slowly falling behind. 

I'm anxious to see how the Dievas Flieger does in comparison, but I doubt i'll take it off any time soon for that length of time.  My wife got me another great watch for Christmas so I'll be rotating between it  and the Flieger.
