“Terrific add to my little collection. A bit of a connection to the Tomcat engraved on the back, and I can't think of a better watch to have it on.. looks and wears well. Added a NATO and presto. Right into my regular rotation. Can't go wrong with LIW!”
“I love the look, lume, and functioning of this watch. My only issue is that the Hacking and Handwinding movement which is similar to the one found in the Seiko Turtle was regulated to about +18 to +27 to start with. After about a month of letting it break in it settled to about +17. I have a Turtle that is consistently at +4 from the factory, and another Turtle that is at +10. I know that the range of acceptability is fairly broad for watches of this class, but, I was hoping that this would be closer to -5 to +10 rather than +17. Other than that this is a champ!!! If Marc would offer a regulation service at an extra cost I would gladly pay for it!”
“This is my first watch over the $100 mark and it's a great deal. Looks great and has all the important features: anti-reflective crystal, bright lume, clean face design, and a movement that should be familiar to most watchmakers should you need to take it in. And it is a great size for a flieger. It pays homage to the original 55 mm monsters by being larger than 40mm but isn't too big at 42mm. I am used to 40 mm watches and that size is great for me but I got used to the size of this watch and I am happy I did. I love it every time I look at it. Nice job Mark and LIW.”
“Love this watch. It is very light and as a result I hardly know it is on. I did replace the watch band with a different leather one with the 2 rivets but there is nothing wrong with the original strap. It is very thick and looks like it will last for ever. Just moved it to a different watch. If you are looking for a very easily readable watch this is it. Just a nice 3 hander with a date. Really like the brushed case. It seems to me that a field or a aviator watch should not be shiny so makes a nice contrast with the very black mat dial. No sunburst if you are looking for that, then this is not the watch. Other things I like over other Aviator watches: Nice water rating(screw down crown) so you can actually take a shower with it on without hurting it. Lume is decent. Don't not last all that long but at least there is something. Well worth the $200.00 that is for sure.”
“Saw a review of one of their dive watches on WatchUSeek. Took a look and ordered a pilot watch.
Great watch. Very nice QC. Very accurate.
I would definitely recommend this watch.”
“Very well-made, sterile-dial flieger, at a fantastic price! Really nice watch! I also dig the F-14 on the back, but wondered why they didn't pick a more period-correct Grumman, such as an F6F Hellcat, or a TBF Avenger. That's a minor nitpick though: I still love this thing.”
