I think it uses the workhorse swiss ETA movement so not really a true German watch.

Couldnt agree more. IMO Stowa watches are excellent value for money compared to some swiss branded watches.

Have ordered more than 4 watches before from them and everytime used to received them within 2 days and also brand new with all tags and warranty stamped but this time I received a used one. So sent it back same day and struggling to get refund even after 4 days. No Calls or Emails from them yet..

Thats scary. This is the kind of thing that is still holding me back from really enjoying internet shopping. Till now the only purchase I have made over the internet has been the stickers on the forum. Guess will but it from a store only.

I just picked up this for my wife from watchkart, so that she leaves my poor battered gshock alone.

Nice chunky watch you have there! Did you buy it abroad, 'cause I don't see this model listed on the Seiko India website?

Cheers,

Thanks! I bought it from a Singapore based online watch store (cost me ~15k shipped, including customs duty).

Mind to share the site details?

But this year he has unfortunately stopped taking orders for the custom made hand built JS watches. Have a look at him on google and it is very difficult not to appreciate his watches - JS and Stowa.

No my watch has not been shipped yet. It should be hopefully shipped sometime next week. I'll definitely post pics.

WOW !! Checked him out. Loved how he has put up photographs of the entire watchmaking process. Beautiful time pieces indeed. Loved the edition 9 full calendar watch with the black dial as well as the white dial edition 10 watch.




Why has he stopped taking orders? Is it temporary? I hope so. Would love to own one custom hand built watch someday. The website does say they are shipping all over the world.

BTW, as I become familiar with the German watchmakers, I feel Swiss watches seem more flamboyant and show-offy in comparison to the German designs. Yes they are represented by the rich and famous and are objects of desire for many, but Im kinda shifting towards German designs. Truly elegant. And you wouldn't look out of place wearing a Stowa at a party, or a meeting or a clinic. It would just blend in.

Really looking forward to the pics of your watch when it arrives.

About the premium, as the years pass, it just seems to increase. How are the prices around the world? Is it all the same inflated rates, or only our country that suffers from such over the top pricing?

This seems unique though, the One Hand edition.

Was cleaning up the cupboard and took the opportunity to click a pic of my 3 watches.
The Timex originally came with a nice leather strap. Have been trying to find that strap for quite some time, but in vain.
