Screw down crown hassle, but water resist to 100m only.

A screw down drown isn't about water resistance, it's about protecting the crown from damage. It makes sense on any "toolish" watch that is expected to be bumped around.

Beautiful blue face dial orient brother!And This is a great first post Jimmmy. Keep up the good work!

Very good looking watch.

It’s a nice flieger. Hopefully pilots aren’t worried about water resistance…

Yeah. Their watch is the least of their concerns if they land in the drink. 😜

With that kind of water resistance, you will drown in the ocean after ditching your plane, but the bloke that finds you will still have a great watch!

For me it's dates on diver's. Utterly ridiculous!!

100m on a Flieger is more than enough, screw down or not. Can’t really fault that

Totally agree. Wish it does not have screw down crown.

Screw down crown is a hassle for me. I am ok with it in return for high water resist. Not ok with low water resist, or protecting the crown. Haha
