Dekla Pilot is in

SO this one just in purchased direct from Dekla. Traditional looking pilot watch ETA 2824. Dekla manufactures everything except the movement and strap. They also allow you to customize which is what I did. I requested the 40mm model with a traditional screw down crown as opposed to the diamond crown, also I requested the white lume as opposed to aged. They were good with communication and accommodated my requests. The case is finished in a fine brushing and it is done well, the printing on the dial is crisp and also very well done. There are no sharp edges on the case. The price point is very good for what you get, so far the watch is spot on after 19 hours

That’s a good looking watch. What’s the price, if you don’t mind sharing?

Well nice work putting the whole combo together Caesar ! :headbang:

The whole look is perfect, and looks like it could be from any of the
high end watch companies imho. Just hearing how the quality is with
there being know sharp edges on the case is great. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: You can
see it from here too.

It has to be just fantastic staring into that matte black dial, and
enjoying those crisp markers, and blued hands also. Big congrats 2 U !!!

445 euro IMO not bad for an in house made German Pilots watch with Swiss movement https://deklawatches.com/en/, a similar Stowa is about 945 euros

Thanks they were easy to work with and are flexible about customizing, for $445 euros it's all made in house except for the movement and strap
