Stowa Anyone?
Didn't really notice Stowa until I saw this.

Anyone else keen on this brand?

The waiting period will be enough to turn me off from ordering....

Re: Stowa Anyone?
yeah i saw that... very nice, but a bit pricey and the long lead time really cannot make it.

Re: Stowa Anyone?
Wow 16 months?!? thats scary man

Re: Stowa Anyone?
i'm curious..



why the need to wait for such long period of time when the movt is still a basic ETA(2824 etc)?



I know Stowa will practically regulate & test each & every watchs' accuracy before it goes out of the factory but even so, why the long wait per watch huh :?: :?:

Re: Stowa Anyone?
Maybe it's the existing and gradually growing popularity ba...

Same kind of scenario also happened to STEINHART. But their waiting time is a shorter.

Re: Stowa Anyone?
Bro Lunarin...u can always try to email Stowa to ask...



You are lucky if you even get a decent reply....

Re: Stowa Anyone?
haha, no la, i dun like writing emails one :oops:



i rather get a preowned piece off forums than to wait 12-16 months for a BN piece

forget to add

[size=150]Stowa Marine Original (MO)[/size]



Some pics of my one and only Stowa .....



Nice Clean Dial







Flame Blued & Twsited Hands







Unitas 6498 (Nicely Decorated). Mine's as accurate as unitas would come ;)



Not sure if they use Durowe mvts now.







Signed Crown. Jus the right size for winding up a Unitas







Very well made watches at that price point. Jorg delivers on the product front, but logistics is a different matter altogether ...... the waiting times can be a major pain.

Long wait

Re: Stowa Anyone?
Beautiful Marine Original Flamenco, I have been eyeing one for the last few months.



Although it is a design which a lot of companies make, the stowa stands out because of the 41mm size (everyone else is 42mm and above) and also the durowe movement, which flows a lot nicer to me compared to the standard unitas.
