Placed my order this morning too for an MO original roman numerals!

Scary amount of money for me on a watch, but sure it will be worth it!

You won't regret it. It is a superb watch.

Right, anyone else want to own up to having bought a Stowa this morning? I'm going to ring them and ask for a commission.

I went for an MO, polished, white face with roman numerals and black leather strap.

I've been looking for something to complement but contrast my current Speedmaster moonwatch and this looks to be perfect for the job!

Now the waiting game begins...

I should of added mine was polished, with brown leather strap, and ive also asked for the Milanese Bracelet to be included in my order. I think that looks the dogs

Pretty much exactly the rationale for my purchase, albeit without the option at the time of Roman numerals. Good taste chap!

They do make excellent watch-safe bedfellows, and I thought that adding the Sinn 856 as a daily beater might be enough for a while, but I'm developing a Seatime itch that I suspect I'm going to have to scratch before long.

James - did you get email confirmation? I got a reference but no email came through...

I emailed Viveca and told her i wanted a polished MO roman with brown strap, I asked her what other details she would need from me. She said she would need my full address, so I sent her my full address and she said detailed confirmation of my order will be sent out tomorrow.

So if you send her your address, you will get confirmation posted to you.

Stunning watch I think I'll have to pick one up soon.

I found the email, google's spam filter was confused by the German I think...

Next question, is there any way to avoid the german VAT? Can I request not to pay it and then just pay UK VAT (or even better not) when it arrives?

Saw one of these on the 2009 Wristcheck thread... constantly looking on the Stowa site...

If only I wasn't buying a damn house at the moment, houses can't tell the time, and you can't take them out with you... rubbish!

I wonder why people buy overpriced ETA tat when you can get something like that. Really nice looking watch.

Please stop the madness - now I'm in love with the Antea Kliene Sekunde on mesh - what's going on?!

I don't usually like mesh bracelets but that one looks great.

It has a very vintage and perhaps clinical look about it.

You should buy it!

It turned up within a month?
That must be a record,I've always been put off by the waiting list but think that it's a gorgeous watch especially with the romans.
Very nice.

Does anybody ever buy the auto?

I don't know if I can be doing with a wind up..

20th of July to 25th of Sept so 2 months. I think it depends on when in the cycle you order but you don't have to pay until it's ready which is good.

I like the auto but if I recall correctly it's a bit smaller which put me off. Winding a watch is an easy habit to get into so don't let that put you off.

Didn't have mine for very long, but the MO is a lovely watch - enjoy
