Incameing...
Picked this up over the weekend at my local AD's customer appreciation sale. I wanted something big, different and fun for the summer. I've always had a soft spot for B&R, but their square watches never sit right on my wrist.
Alas, the perfect solution, and one of the most comfortable watches I own. The short lugs that actually curve downward make the 45mm case wear smaller than it would seem. The strap is only 18mm, but it keeps with the proportions of the this historical 50mm+ Flieger watches of WW1. The strap should patina nicely over the summer, but I may still enlist Micah's (vintagerstraps.com) talent in making a custom strap for it. |

I like the double chapter ring; almost a watch within a watch...
