I have kept in touch with him, and he sent me one of the prototypes of the Flyback to have a look at when he was last trying to get this off the ground.
It wears a lot better than the profile pictures indicate that it might.
It is unsurprisingly expensive, the DD movement and chrono module are hellish cost for short runs.
And If I were not already well served for central-minute chronos (and if I had a bit more cash than I do) then I would go for it, as there is no doubt in my mind that Paolo will make a great job of it.
The Damasko alternative is a very similar price, and the Sinn alternative more.
But the A-13A would be a lot rarer and more personal to buy.
I remember when these came out I did consider buying one then but at the time moved onto other things, looking at them now I am very tempted to pick up a quartz version.
