I apologise if this causes any discomfort. Completely understand.

Absolutely dark moment in History and I am totally against any war related propaganda. I am just drawn by the funtional and iconic design of these tool watches and want to complete the lineage of this collection.

you may want to track down a Wempe flieger- made several years ago -think late 90's I owned one and sold it-- I believe it was actually made by chronoswiss for them with a very attractive hand wind movement.

Thanks for the sugestion.
