Two watches with decent reputations. One fully justified, one not so much. The Flieger looks OK, but the proportions are just all wrong. Far too thick for its own good. The dressy number on the other hand, that is a wee sweetie. Slim, nicely made, and it'll run and run. My surprisingly large collection of blue 20mm straps can come out of the box! Cheers, Jody

    I've got the Flieger "B" with the PT5000 in it. Works a treat and is running very accurately. It does sit a bit strange to begin with but I found that after a few weeks, the strap became a bit more compliant and it sits quite well now. I have the King Seiko homage too and have fallen in love with it despite being quartz. Four ticks isn't far behind a Vostok is it. I also have the Longines Conquest Heritage homage with the Miyota 9015 series movement. That is another nice little watch. Only a 38mm but wears like a 40mm. I see that this now comes with the PT5000. Overall, I think Escapement Time are producing some nice watches. They arrived with very good accuracy so I'm wondering whether they are regulated before being dispatched. Anyway, good to see the channel back Jody. I absolutely love the reviews. Stay safe.

    I got a type b Flieger from escapement time two months ago. I have a larger wrist so it wears perfectly (Flieger watches are historically big and thick watches, so it isn't an issue for me, it give it more authenticity). For my watch, the finishing isn't perfect, there are small irregularities on the brushing of the case, but still outstanding for the price. Maybe a small quality control issue here? But for the price, it's great. I didn't expect luxury quality control for less than 90 euros. I am very pleased with the watch, and I find the heated-blue hands beautiful (yes, even with the big counterbalance of the second hand). I found it wears amazing with a nato or parachute strap. I saw some people use a metal strap with this watch, and it looks really neat.

    The flieger-crown is obviously a QC-dud. I have the exact same watch (only with type-b dial) and there is no problem with the crown whatsoever. The hands are indeed blued, not "blue" but blued, at least according to other reviews here on the tube (one guy even took it to his local watch-shop, and they confirmed it was blued). The 300meters and the height lends the watch an elegant ruggedness. My wrist is just short of 7 inches, and I don't find the watch oversized whatsoever. My girlfriend (with even slimmer wrists) tried it, and when she wore it, it looked even more rugged-cool. I do not find that it wears "odd" in any way. In short: apart from the obvious QC-dud, I could hardly agree less with your review of the ET Flieger. I think it's an absolute stunner, and (as another reviewer put it) "tough little bugger" at the same time. A matter of taste obviously :)

Just sent a message to the seller there, we'll see what happens. In both watches i received there was an issue with the crown and stem and the threading of the crown. The rotor spins wildly when you are tightening up the crown. Oh, also the strap for the second one fell apart when I attempted to wear the watch. In other news I got the steeldive willard homage today. Really impressed. Accuracy about +6 per day and the beat error a bit high but really good for the money an the lume is just incredible. I took your advice too and got the black one with the black rubber band. Fantastic value

    My Escapement Time flieger has just arrived and I like it. I admit that was afraid of opening the box after watching this video. But it is actually fine. Nothing wrong with hand winding. Too much water resistance? Can there be too much of it? I can't even swim, but I do believe that such a high level means higher quality seals, tighter tolerances, stronger case construction, better engineering overall. And all of that is not bad. And this one feels totally solid. Unlike some other fliegers I had tried, that were chunky and unwieldy for nothing.

I really like the screwdown crown and wr capabilities, makes it a much better daily "beater". Less worried about knocking/snagging the unprotected crown..

    A longer than usual comment. I understand that characteristics of traditional "Fliegers" are that they have larger crowns to facilitate their use by pilots wearing gloves. They traditionally have larger dials so the pilot can read them while keeping one extended hand on the joy stick. If you check out the original Luftwaffe Fliegers, they are really big watches. Straps were also extended, to allow them to be worn over flight suits...rather like moon watches! There is some confusion over the dial types, with type 'B' being issued to the "Bombadier" or "Bomb Aimer", whose job was to make sure the bombs hit the target. Approaching the target, the bomb aimer took command of the aircraft and issued commands/directions to the pilot, whose job was now to fly the aircraft straight and level , to allow the bomb aimer to acquire the target. Time over target was kept to an absolute minimum, as flying straight and level made you a sitting duck for enemy fighters or flak. As time over target was a matter of minutes, bomb aimer's watches are marked in minutes. Bombs dropped, the pilot took back command and headed back to base... a flight that would take hours, hence the dial marked in hours. I think that modern sensitivities have led to the 'B' being called the 'Navigator', to avoid its grim purpose !

    great review Jody, thx I have both and they were one of my 1st purchases from AliExpress. I ditched the strap on both of them. I dont have a prob with hand winding on the flieger and i love the simplicity/readbility of the dial. The case thickness doesn't bother me but to be fair it's probably a little thicker by a mm or two due to the embossed airplane on the case back. I love my Quartz and it gets a lot of wrist time - i wear it on a matt navy blue leather strap with white stitching and i think it's the 'doggies bollocks' for the amount of money that i paid for it . I'm loving your blue perlon strap , so I'm going to buy one too.

    I also have the type B. But not sure why ghost position would put people off, it's not exactly unheard of to have ghost position on a watch with no date window. Not sure why 300m water resistance would be a 'moan' from Jody either. I mean, if it's capable of 300m then it should be advertised as such...

    It's unfortunate that you had an issue with the crown on the flieger Jody. The dress one is a strap monster, I have mine on distressed vintage leather strap at the moment. I absolutely love it. I've reviewed quite a few Escapement Times watches now, I think I was the first to review actually. In fact I've just got another one, that I'll be doing a video on soon which you might be interested in.

    Picked up a Chameri GS which has the same movement, hands and also has AR coating and a screw-down crown for $59.00. The off-white dial sort of cream dial actually looks amazing at least from a distance. I'll probably put a perlon strap on my Chameri GS. As far as the Escapement watch IMO if the watch had AR coating I'd get one. The Chameri GS doesn't have any script on the crown but then again doesn't need any for $59.00 The main thing I like about homage watches is their price point and no need to be concerned about them although I care for all my watches equally.

    I had the same problem with my TC-9. The issue turned out to be the stem spring did not have enough oomph to pop out the crown properly. Needed a new stem and spring. It will be interesting to see the lume, otherwise I don't see the attraction of the flieger. It's too thick. Mesh on the Feiko is great, but have you got a cream leather strap somewhere? A little table with some cheese, a glass of sangria...

    I have both the watches showcased in this video. Unless the dimensions are a problem for you, I would suggest anyone looking for an affordable flieger to go for it. The 300M WR just makes it more utilitarian in my opinion. Too bad you got a piece with a defect. I got the Type B about 6 months ago and I wear it often and enjoy it. When it comes to the dress piece, it's honestly a no-brainer. Nowhere else are you going to get that level of finishing for $70. PS: The hands in both pieces are supposed to be thermally blued according to the seller. Don't know if that is true but definitely looks better than the painted hands I have seen in other watches.

    Hi Jody, I bought that King Seiko homage (not Grand Seiko! lol) after you hinted at it in a previous vid. Love the VH31 movement as I dislike regular 1 tick/second quartz watches however I've had some weird issues with its timekeeping. Sometimes it's at +4s within a few days of setting it, other times like today it was at -30 seconds within a couple of days of setting it. Let us know if you have any issues!
