greg_r Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Posted October 10, 2008 What the [censored] is going on here? Sorry Onze. We're talking about watches, as unlikely as that might appear.....
oscarmadfish Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 i thought we were talking about weather centres
URkuk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for posting that site.. While you guys were deciding who was gonna buy that monster I grabbed the last Adleron American Flyer that Werners had.. $128.00 shipped lousy picture on the site but the fact that Adleron only made 100 of them I could not resist I got the last one.. Ill take some good pics when it arrives..also great response from WernersFlyingwatches They emailed me within minutes of paying and stated they will ship tomorrow.. Bill
oscarmadfish Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 looks nice they only made 100 and it sells for $128 thats very weird to me i think i might just keep an eye on this site instead of a credit card
alphakazi Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 imagine that, we just brought them a sale from this thread and 55mm for me wouldn't be that huge really - I have 8.5" wrists this is a pic of my 49mm Bentley so another 6mm dia. - no prob
URkuk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 I thought it was pretty weird also. It is supposed to be new old stock I guess i will know if what they stated is true when I receive the watch.. I would assume a run of 100 would be individually numbered... It has a quartz movement so its nothing special I googled Adleron and not much came up they must be defunct but I like the way it looks and if it is truly from a run limited to 100 I can't go wrong... Bill

I was looking at that one myself - looking forward to the pics
oscarmadfish Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 yeah bill i hope all is good we just have inbuilt paranoia on RWG 1 alpha those are not wrists they are tree trunks
URkuk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Werners also had this one which I think is way too cool.. A copy of a WW2 German Navigators watch My wife is gonna kill me if I buy 2 watches today I luv that big ugly spring holding the crown...talk about different... Bill
alphakazi Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 are you sure it's a copy? the lugs looks pretty beaten up - very cool watch you right also Bill... it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission
URkuk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Alphakazi Yes it is a copy..but its a good copy and whomever posted this site must now deal with my wife because I could not resist and just bought that one also... pics of I'll post pics when they arrive even though the pic of the spring job is very nice Bill
oscarmadfish Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 i like the watch face but the spring no
URkuk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 damm sold out Nick from Werners just emailed me and they are all gone...( great response time) The spring is cool..I think that's what makes it so unusual..to each his own.. on the plus side I will live another day as I only bought 1 watch today Wifey unloaded down the shotgun.. Bill
oscarmadfish Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 wtf is he doing online at 0044 uk time lol

URkuk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 The Adleron watch I ordered from WernersFlyingWatches has arrived and here are some pics as promised. I replaced the band with one I had on another watch as the one supplied was god awful ugly The one I put on it is not an expensive band but looks much better than what it had.. The watch however is real nice ( and real BIG)...I am quite pleased..He told me I bought the last one he had Here are the pics br br br br The pics could be better but not too bad for a 25 buck eBay Fuji Finepix A205 I'm starting to get the hang of photographing watches Thanks to greg-r for finding that site... Bill
greg_r Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks to greg-r for finding that site... Bill My pleasure. That's a nice looking watch for the dough - especially for a gen. Good find!
