That intro just makes me want a TGV-JOMW crossover special lol

Hopefully it will cause TGV to go full Scottish helllooo at the start of his video and wear funny t-shirt. This need to turn into full KZfaq watch reviewing war for more entertainment.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 surely this is a copyright infringement!

Thought I had clicked a TGV video for a sec, rather confused

My type B flieger is the Hamilton Pro Pilot Day Date, otherwise known as the “Interstellar”. It has the heritage of being worn in another galaxy and the durability of surviving the passage through a black hole.

Ah, a proper review to get my fix! Love the intro by the way. Keep up the great work, Jody!

I was genuinely not expecting that intro hahah! I have re-watched it several times!

Glad you got to review this one. I had requested a similar one(bronze 39mm case) a few times a while ago and you mentioned that they hadn't gotten back to you on a review for it. Glad you are now on San Martin's radar.

Type B’s are my favorite, ever since I got my seiko version. I really like the larger minutes. Thank you for sharing these

BRAVO!!!!! Loved the intro so much I played it several times over.

I've had my eye on the Seagull for a while now. That view through the case back gets me every time!

That lume looks absolutely amazing!

Thorough review. Thanks, I always enjoy your reviews 👍

OMG...that opening...too awesome...too funny!! I had to watch it twice

Just when I thought you were getting into a rut! What an AWESOME intro Jody, looking forward to a next one.

Two of my favorite channels

Hallo Jody, To answer your question, I would buy the Laco in a heartbeat, the true Flieger Armbanduhr. I don't think the Miyota movement that bad. It is a lot cheaper if you have to get a service for the watch! Thanks and definitely see you in the next one!

Just picked up their 39mm bronze b-uhr dial flieger. Has the NH35 movement in it. Love this piece to death! The lume is outrageous, and at 20mm lug width, it's a strap monster for sure!

I’ve never been a flieger fan at all. Seeing this one, I would actually purchase it. Love the lume and exhibition case back. Crown is great and it is made for changing out straps. Nice one.

Love love love the intro!!!!!

Another great video brother!

Awesome opening!!

The Aachen, despite the movement, is better made and the blue dial version is very dazzling. Plus the Laco leather strap is pure quality. Also it’s a genuine talking point whereas the others are not. So the Laco for me.

Thanks to this channel I now wear a Vostok 24 hour watch now and love it.

Nice one! Recently purchased a Citizen Avion lovely type B . as to your Question i think i like SAN MARTIN myself.

Jody, you have a knack for timely reviewing watches that I am looking at purchasing! I had just bought a Combat Sub a couple of weeks ago, then you reviewed it, now I’m looking at this one and here’s the review! Thank you!

The Laco Aachen 42. Great review as usual. 👍

Great video!!

I really like it. And I think you framed it pretty nicely, there's some interesting competition in that price range, all three of those watches have different trade offs. The San Martin looks like the best spec wise, but I still find it a little hard to drop that much on a Chinese homage. I've been seriously considering some of their NH35 fliegers that are similar to this but at $200 it's a little easier to swallow.

Love that lume shot! I used to own an Aristo 3H80 (B type Flieger) and it's one of those designs that I loved but eventually fell out of love with. Still glad I owned one though.

I think the San Martin takes the cake. I saw it on the jub on your Instagram. I think it's an absolute stunner.

Hello...and welcome! Best intro ever!

Great video. My second favorite watch in my collection is an ISLANDER type B Flieger. Love the readability, the history, and the looks. Mine was less than $200 as well. Great review.

Great review as always. I went slightly crazy earlier this year and got Steinhart's Nav B-Uhr 47 Titan B-Type Central Second. I wanted something even closer to the actual size used in WWII. Beautiful movement. Can't decide if I bit off more than my wrist can chew on the size. Certainly stands out when wearing it.

Another great review. Hilarious intro! I’d happily wear any of the three, but if I could only choose one, it’d be the the San Martin.

I definitely love it, I'm planning on buying myself the bronze version for New Years. The lack of branding on the dial is a great (lack of) touch.

I love the cheeky homage, very funny. As soon as I buy my Focke Wulf, I'll be getting one of those. Nah they don't really give me "That Feeling" when I check the time! Another good video, however, I'm still smiling!

That intro was the best you've had!!!

30 seconds in and this is already my favorite video of all time. 😁

Definitely tempted by the San Martin :)

Been watching & learning from your videos for a while now, but that intro just got me to sub before it was over! Top marks! Keep it up dude👍

Awesome t-shirt collection that you have also buddy

Wow,that new strap is so 70,s! Love it.Cheers.

I've been thoroughly enjoying my San Martin radiomir homages. Decent movement(s) (at least the swiss ones), good build, good dials/hands, 40mm sizing with 200m WR (which even panerai don't offer)... Imo these things are awesome.

Absolutely loved the intro... Reminded me of the Burnistoun "elevator" sketch...

Absolutely hilarious intro!!!😂😂😂😂😂

I own an Islander ISL110 type B and I just love it. Love the minutes on the outside of the hours. I do wish I had the more costly Swiss movement inside but other than that, it is a great watch at $199 USD each. Thanks for a great video. Mark in Springfield, MO.

Wow wow shots fired!!!

I bought the Laco a couple months ago and I am satisfied with my purchase.

I purchased the 1963 and I love it. I think the history of the laco brand would sway me to that watch, but this is a beauty for sure, definitely worth the price tag.

The San Martin. I love this channel, you helped me choose my last watch. I bought what I believe qualifies as a Flieger for a friend recently. The Orient FFM03005W0 that struck me as beautiful for much less money than a similar looking Groff Zeppelin.

Thanks for a nice review as usual. The important thing to me is what do I look at on my wrist and what do I want? In your video, that translates to brand name, difficult to look at seconds hand, Chrono complication. Your choice, simply.

I got the San Martin type A with brown sunburst dial and Seagull ST2130 and it's gorgeous! I know what you say about the second hand, but on the type A dial that is less cluttered, it's less of a problem. In your review I can see what I like the most about mine - the lens effect when you look at it from the side.

I've been debating between the bronze variant of this or their 62MAS homage since last night. Right on time, Jody!

I actually love this watch! My only gripe would be there is no day date function, but I could live without that. Beautiful piece :)

Hked 1963 is the Seagull pilot's watch I'd go for. Maybe I'm a bit biased with my 5.8" wrist😉

Very good Hellooow as usual! I like more the look of Laco... only if swapping its engine with this one of Conundrom was possible, but nothing is perfect.

I love B type dials! Their legibility is very appealing

Wish the second hand was more legible. I do like the flieger style watches though. Very easy to read for someone new to watches. Loved the homage. Great video, as usual!

Decisions decisions. I'm wearing my type A from Courget. Love it. I'm looking at type B now but this vid raises the issue of reissue verses homage. San Martin have the design right and a Swiss movement. Lacco have the design but a Japanese movement at a German price. The Chinese pilots watch is the same as it was then therefore the most authentic. Personally I'd consider the San Martin. The Lacco is self homage and the China has it's own fans. I'll probably go with the Heimdalrr type B with the Seiko movement at $129.

Just discovered the "B-type" dial and I have to get one! In my line of work I'm bound by certain times of the day so it would fit perfectly.

Haahahaha that intro is too funny Jody. Well done mate.

Yes, a bit more expensive, but I'm very happy with my Stowa Flieger Klassik 40 (handwind, no date, sterile type A dial). It has the looks, the history and the quality to match. Great video's!

I had to watch that intro twice! 😂 Definitely want a JOMW and TGV crossover show now. P.S. Now I want a Flieger 🤦🏻‍♂️

If I could switch out the movement in the Laco to something swiss I'd choose that one. Or, if I could switch out the dial for the seagull, I'd choose that one. Something about the dial on the San Martin is just off, maybe I'd switch out the dial! Keep up the great work!

I love the intro! The dino was perfect!

I have a Laco Aachen 38mm and you’re right the movement is not the best... nicest pet peeve, non hacking!! Always a couple seconds off at the end of the day!

I have that Laco and adore it. The hands are great and the strap is amazing to look at. I'd definitely try that San Martín if I didn't have the Laco but now that I already have it I just might swap the miyota for an eta 2824.

Great video! Didnt know about the seagull 1963, now I want one!... just one more.... 😬

It is hard to go wrong with any of those. The San Martin looks pretty amazing. I have looked at the blue dial Laco more than a few times. The Hamilton Pilot might be my pick one level up from this for about $200 more. I have never found the hked all that appealing, but I am not a chronograph guy. Good video, and very nice watch.

The case is really nice. I think the strap looks good but your alternate strap looks good, too.

Nice review as always. I am considering a Tisell Type B flieger, very similar to this, with Miyota mvmt

If I didn't already have a Laco Aachen... Great video, Jody!

Too funny! Tell Hugo's cousin hi for me. I recently picked up one of these from Long Island Watch, I love Fliegers... I got the A dial, the B Dial and now I'm looking for a C or type 20 dial.

I messed about with budget fliegers for a while, thinking I was smarter than I actually was when hunting a savvy purchase. In the end, I killed the whole runaround dead by doing one thing - I bit the bullet, saved my money, had a bit more patience and I put down the extra cash to buy a LACO Leipzig with ETA handwinding, anodized case, historical markings, thermally blued hands, historical lugs and PROPER lume patterns. If you want the feel of a Type B, that San Martin is OK but you will flip it eventually as it has niggles and no provenance (and the numerals for the minutes are slightly too elongated and not in proportion to the original dial design - for example, the "20" and "40" should not be brushing up on those hour markers). Also, the reason the seconds hand is not lumed on this watch as the historical models were is because the extra weight of the paint needed to match the brightness of the other hands and the dial causes problems for the sweep of the second hand. Companies on a budget looking to cut costs overcome this with faux-lume hands or in San Martin's case, avoid it altogether. If you genuinely want a replica watch ( and if you're interested in fleigers there is as good chance you care about the history), you have to go LACO or STOWA (Laco for historical accuracy and Stowa if you want something with some more modern touches) or IWC (if you are a stockbroker from Frankfurt). There's just no budget option if you are SERIOUS about German fleigers and that INCLUDES the budget Lacos (avoid the Aachen - the non hacking will kill you). Believe me, I've looked and every budget model has a drawback or two (or three).

Hahahaha! A Hugo homage! Love it! TGV would be proud! Keep up the great videos Jody! I’d pick that Flieger!

Nicely made and a good movement but It would have to be a laco for me(blue dial) but I can definitely see the appeal. Very funny intro 😁

This "TGV-inspired" intro, ROTFL :))) Thank you for another excellent review!

I just picked up a Tisell Type B with what they say are true blued hands, sapphire and a 9015 movement for $209. Love a good type B.

I bought the San Martin in bronze. Love it. The leather is nice and the weight is also nice. I am a sucker for bronze and my Grail Watch is the Tudor BB58. I don’t know when the Singapore AD will call but in the meantime. The SM in bronze does very nicely indeed.

My daily is the type-A inspired Fortis Flieger Professional, which has the 2824, orange second hand and the ever practical day date also. More expensive as a genuine Swiss watch, but better too.

Sapphire crystal, Selita movement and great dial and lume - ticks all the boxes for me. Unfortunately a little too big for my wrists, otherwise I would be seriously considering. If Seiko can get away with sub-standard straps and bracelets, so can San Martin. Great review as always.

IWC big pilot is the fleiger for me. But but a Militare National strap on yours and I’m wear it daily. Cheers!

I love a flieger, great review Jody.

Fantastic spec on this but I love my Aachen 42 even with the Miyota.

I would recommend that seagull 1963. I've got it and is absolutely amazing.

For $100 (CDN) more I got a Laco Aachen, one of the original German makers of the Flieger watch. Tons of history!

I love me a fleiger! I think a Stowa Type A 36mm is in store for 2020 for me. I like how thin the Stowa’s are, especially with the hand cranker movement

A lume dot on the end of the second hand would good.

I like the type II flueger design a lot! This one is cool, but I think I will go for the Laco eventually. You need a double riveted band for it!

I just spit my drink all over my computer screen over that intro. LOL

Yes jody I LIKE It and yes so much I've only gone and bought it 👍👍

Gonna get the San Martin ..the sw200 and the lume at 42mm..perfect. Will be my 3rd San Martin

Jody, I grabbed a Corgeut type A and I love it. Has a Seagul movement and is not as polished as this version but I grabbed a watch Gecko riveted strap and it is one of my favourite combos now. It was a welcome surprise to like it so much. Now I need a type B and know where to look. 😉

I've been sorely tempted by some of these budget minded B type fliegers, but the one I have my heart set on is the Hamilton Pilot Day Date, otherwise known as the Cooper (from Interstellar). I think it's a great modernized take on the B type flieger.

A Corgeut or parnis for value, but I enjoy my Bulova military type A dial with very accurate uhf movement.

I got a sterile dial 'A' Flieger from aliexpress for around £45 and it is an absolute peach, hand winding Chinese copy of a Swiss Unitas movement and accurate straight out of the box to within 5 to 10 seconds per day....even came with two reasonable quality straps and a changing tool. Took about three weeks to arrive but has to be the best value hand winder this side of a Vostok Komandirskie.

Miyota is not a poor movement its a very good workhorse movement and if regulated correctly very accurate. great video thank you.

Love my Geckota K1 from watch gecko similar price, but closer to IWC and a but more refined case/handset for similar $

I have an aeromatic flieger that I absolutely love. nh35, saphire crystal, 40mm case, 20mm lug width. Mine runs beautifully and only costs around $100 on eBay from Germany or $150 on amazon. I really like the smaller size of the aeromatic over the san martin. You should look into one of those Jody, I think you'd like it, too.
