Great video and comparison. Really enjoying your channel. What are your thoughts on the Escapement Time 40mm Flieger after having the Laco and Stowa on your wrist and in your hands? I know you loved the ET Flieger when you first got it. Still think it's a good value? I'd love to have the Laco pro and maybe some day but the ET Flieger is in my budget.
@WATCHingJames21 сағат бұрын
I think the ET is a fantastic watch. It got me into pilots. There are some obvious differences compared to the more expensive watches. But still the best affordable pilot I’ve experienced.
@CoffeeFreak75918 сағат бұрын
@@WATCHingJames Did you look at Dekla at all? That's a pretty good German made high value brand with the same type of configurations as Stova and Laco but half the price. Doesn't have the heritage of Stova and Laco but the same specs and good value.

Damn that looks hot, but I am totally put off by “37mm”. Why so small? 😢
@20195020195021 сағат бұрын
I know what you mean I believe that the consensus is that a smaller watch is of a class timepiece perhaps that's the goal. It seems like reviewers prefer smaller watches. I have a 36 mm Pagani it's a homage of a Tag. I like the way it looks but I do have to wear it with more dressy clothes for it to make sense.
@WATCHingJames21 сағат бұрын
I previously had the exact same opinion. But have now come to really enjoy this size. I would not want all my watches this size. But this one is perfect. I also think the details and presence of the watch makes it feel more substantial on wrist.

@@WATCHingJames to me dress swatches look better in a smaller case. Not that I don't have larger watches from this genre but I am starting to appreciate the sub 40 mm watches.

I have at least one of every DRZ release (including the original 250F) in my personal collection, and love wearing them. Also have the exact same DRZ05 as you - the burgundy with date, and it's one of my top 3 Direnzo picks, and IMHO the best looking DRZ05, so it was very nice to see you picking out the same timepiece. FWIW my other two favorites are the green DRZ02 with date, and red meteorite DRZ04.

I bought the wandering Star DRZ06 in green and it's gorgeous. Now sold out I wanted the DRZ02R in burnt orange but no one is selling that. I now realize it's an occasional watch , so the displayed hand wound, decorated Selita movement makes the watch perfectly appropriate and slim as a result Also the hands are not semi skeletonized, like many other of his designs , therefore more legible and better looking , so extra happy now . I love the red dot small seconds as it's unique It's the watch I wear to restaurants and parties etc , as it's quirky , fun , stylish and very well made Mr Direnzo is a genlus designer of unusual future retro watches. Mine with a square case , bowl crop circle funky dial with a superb integrated bracelet I would have expected to pay more so to me it's a bargain Do enjoy yours it looks beautiful . You cannot go wrong with many or any design of a Direnzo Please check out the Horizon Nemo . You may like the designer who works for Zelos and other micros
