And first Pilot watch added to collection, with a more unusual colorway!

Have been looking for a type A Flieger for a bit, but found the black option a bit dull (much better for B) and then the options were always blue and green. Love both but prefer those dials in other watch styles.

Come Tandorio and a random Ali sale, with a really interest option for a 39mm pilot, with sunburst brown dial, NH35a at the driving seat... Oh! And a Titanium case.

Just delivered and loving it so far, great feel for the money it took (around €50, including a couple of coupons).

As already predicting not loving the brown strap it came in - looks ok but not great - so had also ordered a titanium bracelet from the same place (not same brand), which sounded great in my mind, but not really so in real life, giving the flat (and stiff) endinks that, at least for my wrist, don't really gel.

Loving the watch but reaching out to the WC community: what could be other options for straps for this new buy?

Thanks Hakki!

Congratulations 🎊 I think the strap options you have are great. Other wise maybe a rally strap in black to let the dial pop to the maximum. Cheers Miguel!

Thanks a lot! Hum, a black rally strap sounds like an idea, but just got one on the Marlin Chrono and simply loving it there - and seems like overkill to have 2 watches on black rally straps..

That being said, will for sure give it a whirl! Thanks!

Will try it out for sure! See this working on the opposite direction, with the brown rally on a black or panda dial, will check how I like on this iteration.

Not sure if it works as I can't find pictures online but thought about a green/khaki sailcloth or nylon strap, but will continue digging!

Looks great! Did only not go green as the watchbox has recently got a bit green-dial-heavy! But great Mark XX :)!
