It‘s not likely, that I am going to do it in the near future. However, the differences are significant: Better movement, better crown, temperature blues bs black colored hands, bead blasted vs brushed case - I would pay the premium for the more authentic watch.
Not sure what you are looking for - the price for the watch or the strap. BTW: New Videos (also in English) will only be published on my other channel: th-cam.com/users/WatchMaxe1
@@Watch-Maxe_En thank you for the reply, I have a 16.5cm wrist, flat shape (quite like yours). I know laco has a 39mm version which is safe for me but I don't like 18mm strap and would like push to the size limit on flieger watches so thinking about the 42mm version, tks for your review I know 45mm won't fit my wrist well.
In my opinion, I dont think its too big at all, its just uncompromisingly true to purpose. Until a watch obviously overhangs the wrist, I think its still up to the wearer; and I agree, with the flieger, its go big or go home!
Probably my favourite Flieger watch. I love the finish of the case, design of the crown and the lugs, although I wonder if they might not give a wrist hugging angle to the strap. The 42 would just about fit you I think?
Ive got the Laco Dortmund and love it
👍👍👍
Would enjoy a comparison video of Laco Speyer 39 and Aachen 39. Am curious whether the Speyer is worth the difference in price. Cheers.

@@Watch-Maxe_En Thanks. That tells me what I wanted to know-that you believe the Speyer 39 is worth the extra money. Cheers.
Great review. Love the wing shape of the lugs deliberate or not. This is making me seriously consider Laco over Stowa.
Talking Flieger, I prefer Laco over Stowa.
I love the new Laco originals in 39mm
Yes, it‘s a great but small watch.
Which Type do you prefer and why, A or B? I like the clean dial of the A but the B is particular and unique.
With no doubt A
Sir...I own an original,55mm. Has a canvas band with metal grommets. Can't find the value of this piece anywhere. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

thank you for the review, do you think the 42mm version will fit a smaller wrist?
What is you definition of a smaller wrist? Additionally it does not only depend on size, but also on shape and form (fully round vs flat ellipse).

I would go for the 39mm unless you are ready to accept that pilots watches „need“ to be on the bigger side.
Well done 👏 thank you
You are welcome.

you are right. Flieger need to be big
If 45mm is too big would 42mm suit better a wrist of 17cm circumference?
With 17cm my sweet spot would be around 40mm

Agree. But I always feel Flieger must be BIG.
WatchMaxe_EN Yes but I’ve modified that rule to “big for me”!
Was this made in 42mm?
There is a 42mm version. But I think I covered prices and variants also in the video.
WatchMaxe_EN I found it. Model 861695 Manheim
@@desmobc It's the 861749 Paderborn ;-) The Mannheim is an older model which isn't any longer available...
The best Laco fleiger made today
