Thanks Darren, I have a few military watches and a few Lemanias but always wanted a nice Bund, and to get one a little more unusual is lovely, especially as this is in quite good condition. I'd still be tempted to add a Leonidas or UG Cairelli mind you, but I'm very chuffed with this one, 'significant' is a good word!
It seems to be quite accurate, three days of wearing and it's lost about ten seconds, which is a bonus. The winding is quite 'griity' or agricultural compared to my Lemania chronographs, but it works a treat, and as I said, it's nice to have a fly-back in the collection at last.
Hopefully I'll have a bit of time during the week to try a few different straps and take a few better pictures,
Cheers,
Andy
