Congrats Mark on a Great Looking Pilot
The Use of Red Really Sets It Off 
Got this from one of WatchRick's offers on PMWF. Nice price, nice piece. I wanted a Fleiger for my collection as the only one I have is an Aeromatic. I wanted to step it up a bit, but found that while I wanted to fill a niche in the collection, I didn't really want to drop any major coin on a Fleiger. I was trying to resolve with myself if the Glycine Combat I have could be considered a Fleiger and then this popped up.
This has a the right stuff with the ETA 2824 and sapphire crystal, 40mm case. I was glad there was no onion crown as they bug me a bit... According to Rick this one has the rarer red second hand. The whole kibash is assembled in China I think...perhaps another Asian country. At any rate, rock solid construction, seems to be running well so overall, I'm happy. It came on a matte black shrakskin, but I am considering dropping a Bond NATO on it. Otherwise the Bond goes on my Combat. Opinions?
One quick snap...
All the best,
Pax
