I have developed a concurrent AD for watches and have been searching for a affordable Type B pilot watch for some time. Found a Korean manufacturer that meets all my requirements and purchased a watch. At $149 (included shipping) it was only about 10% of the cost of a Stowa Flieger Baumuster B. Fit and finish is outstanding, 43mm, automatic 25 jewel movement, and a Sapphire crystal option which is well worth the $30 upgrade IMO. With wrists over 8.25 inches I have to special order XL watch straps on just about all the watches I purchase and hope the new strap will be delivered in the next few days.
