Which flieger / tool watch?
I’ve already owned an archimede pilot 39 that I had to sell years ago… I regret it very much. On the other hand, Sinn is really attractive. I love both designs. Sellita SW200 vs ETA 2824-2, what should I go for and why?

Sinn 556 by far
I’ve admired Sinn for awhile. I don’t know Archimede. So, Sinn gets my vote.
Folks sleep on Archimedes because it’s a small brand, but their watches are tough as heck and made by one of the best case manufacturers in Germany.
I recently sold my Sinn 104, which is similar shape wise. One of the reasons is the crown. Protrudes way too much and once you see it you can’t forget it.
I've been considering Sinn for a while as well. I wish they'd make a 556 tegimented case because I'd prefer that. Nothing wrong with the regular 556 steel though.

Check the Sinn 856, anti magnetic with tegimented case
Thank you very much. I have considered it. But with a 6.5 inch wrist I’m concerned about that style of dial in a 40mm
Thank you all for voting and commenting. In the end as I never owned a Sinn, I decided to place an order for a 556A rs with bracelet… and then I need to calm down because I’ve been on a rampage since the beginning of the year 😂
Between the two movements it doenst matter. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money in a classic flieger watch ever tho.
Which did you get? I have a Stowa with the Sellita movement and it's perfect as is my Laco with the ETA.

I got the Sinn in the end. I love it
