My first Flieger and first CA dial…

Post by BacoNoir » Wed May 18, 2022 11:42 am

…all in one watch. I did an impulse buy last night! I’ve always wanted a Laco Flieger and have also wanted a CA dial, and I ran across this LE model from the Windup Watch Shop last night. It was priced right, so I jumped on it since it’s limited to 100 pcs. It should be here next week.

Great looking watch & good size.

A really terrific find Roger, holy cow, and the price is very
reasonable also it looks like. :o What’s amazing too is that
it looks like it should be more than your average Laco with
the look, limited edition theme, as well as just style of the
dial. 8-) You can see this stunner really stands apart from
other pilot’s, or aviation watches out there.

I think this is one incredible impulse buy, or will be I mean. ;)
Can’t wait to hear how you like it ! ..An EXTRA LARGE Laco
congratulations there to you on this !!!

It just arrived and looks great, but I have to sell something(s) to pay for the MacBook I had to buy yesterday. It’s either 1) the Heuer Autavia; or 2) the Aerospace, the Laco, the Seiko Monster and the Zodiac Sea Wolf. Ugh, retiring during a recession forces me to be more frugal.

So cool! Oh and glad it doesn’t have a giant onion crown - that one looks perfect!

And we are NOT in a recession! (I figure if I keep saying it enough. It might be true?)

^^^LOL I wish I had your confidence! That said, I have 10% in cash for whenever I feel like I’ve seen a bottom to this slide and we have taken defensive positions over the last quarter with the advice of our financial advisor.

Well at least this one’s so nice that it should take your mind
off of that tough decision Roger. ;) And What really is terrific
about a watch like this, is that it in fact is liking getting two
watches in one as you said. 8-) 8-) So even if you have to get
rid of one of those other beauties. You’ve still almost added
two watches here. :grin:

Or at the very least, one watch which has dual personalities,
or styles. What a spectacular get ! ..You’re first flieger, along
with CA dial, and in such a uniquely cool package. ..A GIANT
congrats here sir !!!
