Hi Chris
I have a Stowa Flieger B and an IWC Mark XVI Spitfire UTC in my collection. The Stowa comes with an onion crown and classic style strap. I have to endure the 'normal' 3 month waiting period for the watch to arrive from Stowa but it was worth the wait. The watch is well built and the blued outline of the minute and hour hands are simply beautiful.
The IWC is a more recent acquisition. I quite like the smaller size of the Mark XVI as compared to the bigger size of the more recent offerings from IWC.
Mandatory pictures of the watches:
