Hi guys,
it came just out of the blue sky, but why wouldnt we have something special for Blitzers, like a Blitz watch for example.
I know it is not a big deal to negotiate with some smaller producers to order a limited version of a watch (polish watch forum, I am a member of, has few limited versions from differnt brands).
As we are all military freaks here, my first thought was a pilot watch. It could be something reasonably cheap to start with. All details to e discussed if there is an interest among Blitzers.
Here are some examples from companies I know are willing to do so :
Russian Aviator manual winding
Swiss Steinhart automatic
Swiss Steinhart manual
German Stowa Flieger automatic
German Laco Flieger automatic
German Laco Flieger manual
I presented just a few examples, with Stowa and Laco being in top 5 historical brands (producers of original WW2 pilot watches).
For sure Stowa and Steinhart are willing to make limitations (50 pieces should be enough to make an order), Laco AFAIK has some financial problems at the moment, so I am not sure about them, Aviator shouldnt be a problem.
I am just throwing an idea, open for changes, ideas etc.
We could dd some surveys regarding models, price range (should be lower comparing to regular price) etc.
I personally would order one for sure if price is around 200 EUR, but would also consider more expensive model.
cheers
