I've got the hankering for another Fleiger (inexpesnive) but don't know which way to go. I have a penchant for observer dials. Here are a few thoughts I have been having as of late. Please tell me your likes and dislikes! In no particular order: Aristo KunstFlieger 3H32S with XL Crown 
Case: Sandblasted Stainless Steel
Bezel: Bead blasted Stainless Steel Crystal: Domed sapphire crystal
Water Risistnat 50m Strap: Thick brown aviator leather strap
Laco Observation Automatic  Swiss Made ETA 25 jewel 2824 2 automatic movement, 42MM satin stainless steel case with see through screwed back, screw down crown, date display at 3 o'clock, Luminous markers, numbers and all 3 hands, Black riveted pilot strap, 5 ATM water resistance. Made in Germany, two year warranty. Debaufre Nav-B  Features
Plus many other hopefully you guys will bring to mind. The advantage with the DeBaufre is a number of sizes and combinations including a Unitas cranker. I am kind of hand cranker mad at the moment. The DeBaufre are also about $100 more than the others shown. Sure would love to see a 3T special from Debaufre...hint...hint!!  Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

how about a Fortis. Don't know where thye fit right now on relative price spectrum. All 3 of those in your post are very nice . I think I like the Laco the best maybe because it has simplest crown.

The Incursore you picture is pretty bad ass, though!! Different spin on the Flieger with observation dial fersher... What's one of them bad boys set a fool back? Never been too hot on the Zenos and I don't even know why!goofy I have also been waiting on the Divas Vintage but don't have a clue as to what it might look like or how much it will sell for...:shock:
