You guys can continue to torment me... My resolve is strong... and I have just a few days to go... I must be maturing. Seems natural given I am 1/2 Ken's age!:D I managed to hold this two weeks... of course after checking to make sure it was all good. Couple years back and I was chasing FedEx trucks!!:shock: |

Am I allowed to say that, whle that brown "nubuck" is a nice-looking strap, I don't care for it on that watch. The black and red is going to look stunning! Hope we get to see at least one picture of it on the blk/red. :D Hey! why am I posting here instead of at New Arrivals? Why do you have 2 threads going? .......geez KenC wrote: tny795 wrote:Put it on a black/red Orb. It's a way cool watch. happy1.gif |

Guys: I have had 40/50 since yesterday. This is my first post on this board, I wanted to add my 2 cents about this watch. I believe the first photo I saw of it was on WatchReport.com. They did a little write-up on it's release. I thought it was the nicest looking of it's type i'd seen in a long time. I fiddled around a few weeks and when I saw that Dievas had already sold 30 of 50 I decided I needed to get one. The thing that strikes me about the watch is it's incredible beauty and superb use of color accents. The overall design could not be better. This watch is as good as it gets. I still have mine on the original brown strap it came on. I might change over to the other brown strap I selected. It looks great but the watch is lovely on it's default strap. Dealing with Anders was a real pleasure and he went out of his way to get me the watch. It took about 2 days from pickup time to delivery to Alabama. This is the first "flieger timer" type watch I own. I think it's sensational. I'll post some photos soon but frankly - the photos from others are probably much better than those I could take. Thanks to everyone on this forum for the photos and comments about this watch. I wanted it the first time I saw it, but you guys cemented it for me.... Happy New Year and Peace to All. |

mstevens... 1st...welcome to 3T. 2nd...congratulations on your Flieger Timer...I can't make myself change my off of the OEM strap either...it is simply too comfortable! 3rd...don't be a stranger...posting is more fun than lurking. 4th...sorry about the game...GO GATORS! yourock.gif |

Not a problem with the Gators. We had a great season for a change. I'll second that "Go Gators" for you. I'm pulling for them in the Big One. The movement in this watch is very cool. I believe it does about 5 little ticks a second. It almost looks like the second hand of a quartz watch on steroids. Plus - I didn't know it was hand-windable until I got it out and read the documentation. The dial on the watch is simply beautiful and easy to read. The reason i've never owned this type of watch before is that they all have the general same look. This one is different. This slight use of red on the hands and in the "flieger" symbol at 12 o'clock really sets the dial apart. It's so neat to have a 40 year old movement in a new watch. Such a great idea. |
|||||||||
|
KenC Admin

Yeah, that movement is a more leisurely 18,000bps (much like the mechanical Unitas 6497/98) as opposed to the newer ETA rate of 28,800bps. Most Japanese movement bps rates are in the 21,000 range. |

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. |
|||||||||

The Orange Monster uses the Seiko 7S26 movement...their "workhorse"...actually, if the Seiko has been on a winder for 3 months and has only lost 7minutes, that only about -5 seconds per day which is damn near COSC standards. 7 x 60 = 420 / 90 = 4.66667 |

Its great to see so many Flieger Timr owners out there and together on 3T. Really does make all the time we spent on the watch worthwhile. The ETA2452 movement in the Flieger Timer is not meant to be an accurate movement like the modern movements. But like all things 60s, they are designed to be reliable workhorse. Post more pictures guys! There are no lousy pictures. Anders |
