·Also, I don’t know if actual pilots are allowed to wear pilot watches anymore. Can someone reach out to John Mayer to confirm?

·...Laco?
But the watch has no “brand name”...so what do you call it? After I get done with it [and purchase it for $300 following the class]...I’m likely to name it/call it “Mad Dog’s Abomination”. The other thing is I don’t know how big it is [I forgot to ask the AWCI]...I’m guessing around 44 or 45mm?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...I don’t know. It looks sort of like a Laco. The initial pic in this thread is a pic that the AWCI sent to me to inform me that this will be the watch that we will be working on individually during the Introduction to Watchmaking Class at AWCI HQ in Cincinnati [Harrison], Ohio in March. It has a 17j ETA 6498 movement.

I'm just jealous, as I am looking for the perfect Flieger, this one just reset one of my wants... Although this looks like a 45.
I just want a nice 40-42mm handwind, sterile Flieger uhr A with a non sand blasted finish, an Onion crown and blued hands. The small seconds is a great touch to it though. I just wish Laco or Stowa or Archimedes actually would do a watch with all of those options at the same time!
Also jealous about the class and that cool piece and owning that when your done.

··Melbourne AustraliaIt's a 6497. 6498 would have the sub-seconds at 6, not 9.

Prices start from around $80 for Seagull movements, not ETAs. There is a reason for the price difference.
