Stowa Marine Original incoming
Discussion
Congratulations - a lovely watch and I'm still fond of mine (polished) despite it not getting a lot of wrist time.
Is it on a Toshi? I haven't seen one on such a thick strap before.
I've just been browsing TZ-UK again after self imposed exile for a few months. I can feel an itch developing, just not sure what for yet...

Yes, it is coming on a Toshi + the original strap. Like you, not seen one on such a thick strap, but I think it looks pretty good in the photo's & I can always swap it if it doesn't suit.
They are big, so do need a fairly substantial strap, though I agree I'm not convinced that a Toshi is quite right for the MO.
I had mine on a navy blue Rios alligator, that looked pretty good.
As for price, in case Andy prefers not to answer, I will tell you that I sold mine for £550, about six months ago but I think prices have been rising since then.

They seem to get snapped up quickly, and their scarcity and sterling's weakness seems to have helped used values in the past 12 months. I sometimes winder if I should selll mine, but I think my wife would be really annoyed if I did.
I'm sure if you spend the money on her she'll be alright about it. tertius said:

The Toshi may not suit the watch - I'll see. I have plenty of other straps to try with it, if not.I had mine on a navy blue Rios alligator, that looked pretty good.

I don't mind spilling the beans on price. I was offered first refusal by a TZ-UK member before he put it on the Sales Corner.
I paid £700 (against £725 asked) which I’m happy with as although the saving against brand new isn’t huge, the price includes the Toshi & RMSD. The watch was new in Feb this year and has only been worn once or twice. Saves the 6 – 8 month waiting time vs ordering new too.

That seems like a great deal to me. Stuart said:

That seems like a great deal to me. Actually wearing the Stowa as I type. The seller actually lives quite close me and was kind enough to drop it round this evening.
I've swapped the Toshi for a brown Di-Modell Jumbo, but I have a couple of black straps that work quite well with it too.
I'll try to get some pics of my own at the weekend, but for now, I'm well chuffed.
