Another classic everyday watch
Drawn to this timepiece and gotta say, it’s beautiful. If the movement was to be an automatic, even better. Overall, this would be nice for an everyday watch. Feels natural on wrist and genuine leather strap. Feels nice and thick. Exceptional for its price and appreciate the homage.

Well built watch. Solid construction, authentic and attractive. 5-star watch, but 1-star strap.
I love the watch. Fantastic re-creation with very authentic WWII flieger design. Watch is really much more solid and well constructed than I expected. I own 6 watches, some more expensive than this, but this one feels as good as any. I wish they sold this in an Automatic - I would pay the extra. However, this Miyota Quartz movement is pretty high quality. The strap however is a disaster. Thick leather-coated foam pad strap is hard to get clasped and is very uncomfortable. But the strap really doesn't bother me much as I almost always upgrade the strap anyways. Replaced it with a nicer brown leather Barton strap that I had on hand - see pics. With strap upgrade, a very, very nice watch!

Good Vintage Aviator Homage
This is a decent watch, with a couple qualifiers. The first one I ordered arrived with a broken stem and crown. I guess during assembly the stem was torqued at an odd angle and the crown was therefore bent. Consequently the crown broke off right away. I requested a replacement and Epic Militaria sent one without requiring the broken one returned. The second one was in good working order. So, I took on repairing and modifying the first broken one as a little project. In the end I simply used JB Weld to permanently attach the crown to the case body. I open the snap case back, set the time and then closed it back up. So the case back needs to be opened to adjust the time. But aside from that the movement has kept perfect time. I then polished the case and installed a better strap. What I am left with is a great looking and functional watch, plus the replacement one they sent, which still looks factory. Anyway, I give four stars due to quality control issues. But for the price, it's an okay watch that will fool most casual observers into thinking its a sterile dial Hamilton or Fortis Flieger Type B style watch.

Awesome replica
As much as I would prefer to have the genuine watch, this is about as close as one can get without spending big dollars. And frankly, if I had the real thing, I would not wear it - it would sit in a display case. So this looks the part and I can wear it daily. Cool piece, quite pleased with it.

Do not buy
Cool looking watch. It stopped working after wearing it twice.

Decent watch with a couple problems
This is a decent watch, but it has a few problems. The biggest is that the second hand is black on a black dial, which makes it hard to see during daylight and impossible at night. The next big problem is the lume. Anyone familiar with the Type B Flieger, which is what this watch is a copy of, knows that the lume on those is usually all encompassing. This is limited to the inner circle, not including the numbers, and the hour and minute hand. The movement in this is a Miyota 2034, which isn't anything great. The case back is pressed on, so you're not changing your battery without a case back press. I anticipate the battery life will be somewhere around a year. I don't recall seeing any water resistance claims, but given the push in crown and pressed on case back with no gasket, this watch should be kept dry. One trip to the pool and this thing is almost certainly ruined. This is not a great watch. It is a decent watch. If you want the least expensive Type B Flieger available, this is the watch for you. If you want a watch that is going to last for years, this is probably not the watch for you.

I'm having a "situation"......
I had to track down when I bought this beastie to figure out exactly how upset I'm supposed to feel over this. 1st. I bought it on the 1st of Oct '19. 2. The battery is dead [last time I wore it was last summer, so less than a year. 3. Glancing at the price [today] depending on dial color $65~90usd. 4. THIS IS the biggie. the back won't come off [before anyone gets their drawers inna knot] I've done some mods & repairs on a few Value World display watches. I have Some tools, books, whatnot. I've gogld, bingded, yahyelled. you name it. an-Yah, you can OPEN anything, being able to close it back? [doing that, bout 95% almost cross threaded the back on the case ONCE]. I suppose I'd feel better if it only cost $50, you know, closer to $125ish you can find seiko 5 automatic in a serviceable condition. [like the car that looks good across the street, not the sidewalk next to it?] like that. Those units that get done on the wristwatch repair/revival type thing. So disappointed [if I had remembering what I paid for it then I'd be peeved, NO thank you, I'd rather not look it up, get "peeved" and boost my BP]. The times I remember wearing it nothing negative happened mechanically, how it feels on my wrist is nice. The biggie, it looks cool. I'd like to be able to put it in rotation [stupid battery].

Belle montre, reproduction inspirée de modèles des années 40-50. Le changement de pile est délicat car le couvercle est embouti en force il faut faire attention de ne pas le rayer. Bon rapport qualité prix.
