MO - Finally Here !!
After a long long long long wait (no exaggeration here....) Its is finally here ..... my very own Stowa Marine Original (MO) This arrived at my office in the lunch hours which kept me very busy indeed. Upon opening the package, this was what greeted me. M...
Cool! Stowa is one of my favorite manufacturers, too . . .
. . . and there's one or two that I wouldn't mind having in my collection . . . cordially, Art

The Exima with that Omega caliber...
...is pretty sweet. It's a gorgeous movement! I'd love to have one! Cheers, Daos

i so love the piece you posted, and i love your simply high taste ,you keep surprising me. Thanks Faisal
Nice one
Good choice flamenco, Stowa give great value for money and a name with a decent bit of history. Plus, the wait gives you that "made just for me" feeling. Here's mine - this one has a great vintage art-deco vibe:...
Both are great...
...I have both Stowa's Marine original (black) and the Antea KS that Jat showed above (my wife wears it on a bracelet). Both very nice watches. Stowa has good designs, excellent construction, high-value pricing, and a personalized and friendly ordering pr...
Greatly affordable watches !
Will be interesting to see the new Durowe Movements in the watches !
Quite right
You're right Aaron. I believe both the Nomos and this watch are a reinterpretation of a 1938 Stowa design. Best, J.
Where you can see it
HI, sadly I don't but Stowa has pictures of the original on its website in the Antea KS section (AFAIK I'm not allowed to post the actual URL). It's a very faithful reissue. Best, J.
Indeed !
Only at a better price point, if we do not get into discussions of the movement (arguably)
Art-Deco
That right !! My next purchase, if I can put myself thru another bout of long waiting time
Hey! Big congrats...
...and welcome to the MO club! Thanks for the shout-out too! I hope you enjoy your MO as much as I have been enjoying mine. It's a great, honest, good-looking watch. Yay! I'm so happy for you! Cheers, Daos My Stowa salutes your new acquisition!...
congrats
yes a nice looking, clean job is done on creating this watch, and the price is SO right. Faisal
Re: birth place of the MO
Hi flamenco, congrats to your splendid Stowa MO! Like the Flieger original this is a great watch for only decent money - if you can wait, as you did. I hope, this does not spoil your excitement, but the "birth place" - as you call it - is not in Bavaria. ...
Spring/Summer collection :)
New shoes, transforms the watch entire. Lustrous deep brown croc leather with matching stitching ! The clothes really maketh the man. Am in love with my Stowa MO all over again....
Thanks!
Mr Hary Lim has the contacts to the strap maker shld u require any customization. Excellent quality and well priced to boot !!
Very nice Flamenco. a very nice clean dial and blued hands
i'll be honest, i'm more of a fan of Nomos as they do their own calibres, but i really like the idea of the pieces Art has mentioned. anything with a vintage movement interests me. have you noticed how the case is basically the same as the Nomos? enjoy it...
i'm googling Stowa as we...
i'm googling Stowa as we speak. sadly only 25 Exima's with the Omega movement and the last one sold for about 10x the cost of a seamaster with the same movement. so i'm just looking as there are no funds to back it up :)) best Graham
nomos
a brand i love GRAHAM but sadly one watch would suite my wrist as a matter of fact my wrist require 40mm+ size. love your watch mate. Faisal
Faisal, you just think you...
Faisal, you just think you need 40mm+. i have watches from 31mm to 47mm amd they all suit me so you should give one a try, perhaps at a get together. the very thin bezel makes it wear bigger. i think you would be pleasantly surprised. best Graham
ill take your advice
seriously ill Graham , and true maybe its just my mind however im not that tall but im well built and have wide forearms , im 5'11 i know people who are past 6 and they wear 38mm nicely. Faisal
same size as me young...
same size as me young man. 5'11'' 14 1/2st 7.5'' wrists. i always thought i had thin wrists, but since joining the forum i've found that they are quite thick in comparison to most. perhaps the people who do enough manual labour to build up huge wrists don...
congrats
a delicate piece in the shape of as simple as can be, the SO clean dial, the stunning blue hands, the case shape, simply an elegantc work put together. enjoy your new addition mate. Faisal
