New Watch Day: Guinand Flight Engineer unboxing - part 1

The unboxing for this was a little chaotic because the package arrived damaged. I couldn't tell for sure if it was crushed or had been dropped. I had two earlier videos documenting the initial part of the unpacking that I opted not to publish as they were long, boring and didn't really get to the watch itself. However, credit to Guinand's packaging engineers...the watch seems to have arrived undamaged. I was mainly worried about internal damage to the watch from jarring or dropping, but the Flight Engineer has lived up to its tool watch heritage. One thing I was told by Guinand later is that...and I presume this goes for most watches you get shipped from overseas...if the package arrives damaged, the time to refuse it is at the door with the driver. Otherwise, any damage may potentially be treated as a warranty issue. I would have thought it would be a shipping insurance issue, but maybe I wasn't clear on that. Anyway, you can view the specs on this watch here: https://www.guinand-uhren.de/flight-e.... The model on the website has a gray dial but they will make the black dial like mine for no extra charge. There are also a couple of other bezel options, an orange bezel for a sporty pop of color and an unusual, two-tiered stainless steel bezel for a unique and intriguing look. Photos are available on the page where the Dial and Housing features are described. As far as I know, these are by-request options and I don't think there is an uncharge for them, but check with Guinand. This is a magnificent German timepiece on par with a Sinn or Damasko but much more affordable and unique looking. As of the publishing of this video, I've had it for over 4 months and it still keeps exceptional time. It's taken a few knocks at work in my X-ray job and has yet to show any significant marring or scratching...except for a very faint scuff mark on the bezel. Highly recommend der Guinand Flight Engineer fliegeruhen. Es ist wirklich ausgezeichnet! Website once again: https://www.guinand-uhren.de/flight-e....
