Stowa Flieger Klassik 40 Baumuster B vs Victorinox Airboss 241507 Mechanical?
I opted for the Airboss because it seemed like the best value. The Flieger is stunningly gorgeous, absolutely the only watch I would want to buy after the Victorinox, but I wanted to get a watch that could arrive to me by tomorrow, because every single one of my shitty battery watches is out of power. I made the step into mechanical watches and pulled an all nighter researching different watches starting yesterday afternoon.
They both MSRP at around 1000, and it seemed like the Airboss was discounted by half at around 530 dollars. I appears very good quality and very utilitarian, which is what I want. I want something which is in no way bling. I have always dug the aviator look, ever since I was a little kid. I have a plaid bomber hat, a nice Filson Field jacket, leather shoes. The Flieger, and to a lesser extent the victorinox have the air old WWII memorabilia you would find in your grandfather's trunk, which were beautiful and extremely utilitarian. It's one of the most unique combinations of understated style, and rugged utility, which are my two favorite combinations.
What do you think of this choice though? It seems like I'm getting something which is probably the same quality for half the price, without the grandfather's WWII memorabilia feeling to it. It seems like a good deal to me. I'm sure that they're both in par in terms of which is the most precision time piece, which is also very important to me.
Looks like a blinged out Chinese copy of a timex weekender
Fuck u shill

What possessed you to make another thread about this.
Cameron Williams
I didn't make two threads about this. I also got way better replies on the reddit forum, because people don't feel compelled to be insecure snobs on that website apparently (except for that one guy above you who just made a normal comment).
Nathaniel Jenkins
bullshit. you posted the same watches in these two threads:
someone recommended laco, so you started another thread about what diameter to get once you found a laco you liked: keep your shit in the general watch thread. also wow you call people insecure but you are hitting up Veeky Forums to basically hold your hand through all your purchase choices
good threads died for this. if you like reddit so much stay off here if you cant deal with zizzle zazzle
>we're just insecure snobs
why are you even asking us for opinions then christ

>good threads died for this Lmao cry some more, bitch. I couldn't care less. I have just been getting into watches and I appreciate having a discussion about them. Also, starting threads pulls in more replies than posting in the general watch thread. Time is money, and I love money. Have fun jerking off to your calculations of how many "good threads" are on the front page of the Veeky Forums fashion board.
