Ollech & Wajs Aviation V7733vsLongines Spirit Flyback

Owners widely praise the Olech & Wajs Watches AVIATION V7733 as a compelling vintage-inspired chronograph, with multiple users noting its comfortable and sleek wearability, making it suitable for casual use. The watch is frequently cited as a strong value proposition, with one owner highlighting its construction from genuine Breitling parts acquired in 1979. However, two owners specifically mention that the manual-wind Valjoux 7733 movement is noticeably loud. Overall, owners highly value the Olech & Wajs Watches AVIATION V7733 for its vintage Breitling-inspired design and comfortable wear at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Longines Spirit Flyback for its attractive design, flyback chronograph complication, and value, particularly the titanium construction. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the visually appealing anthracite dial with gold accents and red touches. However, a significant point of contention across multiple sources is the watch's 17mm thickness, which some find detracts from wearability, especially on a NATO strap. Some owners also express a preference for the older dial design with stars over the current text, and a few find the sub-dials partially obscuring hour markers or the placement of the running seconds subdial to be design missteps. The 42mm case size is also noted by some as being large with substantial lugs. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Longines Spirit Flyback highly for its flyback chronograph complication and attractive design, despite concerns regarding its thickness.
