Happy Flieger Friday!

Not my wrist, and I didn't know where else to post this, but I think it's appropriate for Flieger Friday. It's a good thing I woke up at 3am this morning, and unable to sleep, went to Instagram first on my computer. The first post I came across announced the Tutima Flieger Friday Limited Edition. Very limited to 25 pieces. My credit card came out immediately, and I was able to snag one!

While I always value advice of all my friends, including those on the watch forums I rarely, if ever, heed advice about price, as I figure the value of a watch is how each individual perceives it. About 10 years ago, I did make the mistake of listening to a friend, who thought the price of a Tutima Flieger 1941 was too high. I lived to regret it. I now have 3 flieger type watches, and love each one, but none of them measures up to the Tutima I passed up. So, this one appeared this morning, and I am absolutely stoked, to say the least :

Having been a "good boy" of late, I have managed to sell a good number of watches, and still have 3 actively for sale. I have diligently been searching for my next watch, thinking maybe an IWC Big Pilot or the Spitfire. I almost went for a Big Pilot the other day, but something held me back. Glad it did. 

I have been very fortunate the past couple of years, to be able to experience so many wonderful watches, 7 of which are still in my collection. I have to say that this Tutima, however, is the most exciting for me!

Cheers,
Carl

I remember the Tutima manufacture in Glashütte. I’ve seen houses here in N Dallas that are bigger than that, and I think that’s kinda cool.

CHIP that reminds me of my Aunt's house in Darmstadt, Germany! Actually, now I remember your visit, and you visited Damasko I think and got a watch there??

Close.
I got a Muhle Glashütte, which is now with @irwin.

Last time in Glashütte was March 2019 when NOMOS invited me to visit their manufacture.

Congrats Carl!  I've always liked Tutima and the hands/dial really work well together.  And a manual wind movement to boot and 100m water resistance.  It's a looker and with a LE of 25, glad you jumped on it right away!
