Personally, rather than get the engraving thrown in, Id rather just get the overall price of the watch lowered.
I see that the STOWA is in the lead by a wide margin. I think a great great idea would be to use our buying power to get STOWA to do the FL23883 case engraving for free instead of an additional 80 Euros..
"Case engraving FL 23883 Case engraving as with the original STOWA Flieger!
From now on, we engrave your Flieger watch gladly with the FL 23383 designation from our STOWA Flieger Original watch from the forties. (55 mm diameter)
The characters are burned into the case with a so-called deep engraving, precise and undestroyable."

I've been wanting one of these for some time, I hope the deal goes through. there are several companies making this watch including STOWA & LACO, the 2 companies that made the originals. If authenticity is your thing then the LACO Leipzig is the closest to the original, case, dial, lume and handwind. The Paderborn is the automatic version, both are 42mm, a much more manageable size than the 55mm originals.
Since they are the same price it would be nice to get a choice of either model and choice of strap color.
The STOWA would be first choice if not for the clear caseback and lack of engraving on the side of the watch. Apparently they are a bit better finished than the LACO's
