Hi guys, I really like the design of the Sinn 356 flieger but it's out of my price range. Are there any watches that look similar to the flieger in design? Thanks!

this one, right:

What is your price range? Does automatic or quartz matter to you? The Sinn is fairly small (by today's inflated styles) at 38mm; is that what you are looking for, or is size not an issue. Any other criteria that matter to you?

Yes, that is the one. I do love automatic watches but I am fine with a quartz watch too. As for price.. I'd say something under 200 but I am a little flexible.

There are many, many pilot's chronographs. What are the features from the Sinn that are most important (font, hands, case style, etc.)

Thanks, I really like the Sinn because of the case style and I love the hands too. I was looking at some Parnis watches and a lot of the case styles of their watches look similar to the Sinn but these Parnis watches cheap in price, do you know if they are good watches?

I do not own a Parnis but I have my eye on a few that interest me. I have read nothing but great reviews from fellow members. Seems like a great brand for the price.

CWC have this quartz one for about a third the price of a Sinn and also mechanical versions for about half:
Borrowed pic of quartz:

The Precista PRS-5 is about a quarter the price of a Sinn, but sadly out of stock at Timefactors - their pic:

Yep the CWC or the Precista's.

Also, the following with a Flieger strap or NATO would look quite similar;

or;

Seiko Generation 1 RN Helicopter Pilot's Watch - Military Issue

Around half the price of the Sinn.

I just got my first Parnis, a Sea Dweller Homage, Sterile, and I must say that I'm totally impressed with the quality. Gonna go look for more...
