Chris ward emailed me.about their new cosc certified bronze today... £900 but I do really like it...
£950, no? With the £100 off checkout offer bringing it down to £850, if my maths is correct There are two things preventing me from taking an interest, a new kitchen being fitted in a couple of months or so and 'that' branding on the dial. One of the better looking bronze divers though and I do like CW's Light-catcher cases.

Nobody likes it......apart from them!

Thanks for the photos. That looks lovely. I’m familiar with the quality of Stowa, here’s mine
Then you really need that bronze Flieger to keep it company.

As far as I know now (from robbiekhan's recent Stowa purchase), you pay the reduced amount on the site and the British VAT on arrival via the courier company.
Hope that helps.

I bought mine when we were still in the EU, so just paid the site amount.

Thank you, it does. I found robbiekhan’s post on the Incoming thread, looks identical to what I see in the Stowa site. As far as I know now (from robbiekhan's recent Stowa purchase), you pay the reduced amount on the site and the British VAT on arrival via the courier company.

I wonder, if I wait long enough with the Flieger in my basket, will they send me a €50 off voucher…

Email them with an enquiry about the watch, just make one up if you don't have a specific question eg asking them to confirm waiting time, how to pay, question movement accuracy or whatever. They may very well include a discount code within their reply, they did with me when I made an enquiry a couple of months back.

Thank you, that’s an excellent idea!Might be a little biased but... Stowa. Astonishing watches for relatively very little money. I will add a Bronze marine to my collection but I do not want the one already linked earlier in the thread as I want hand wind only.
Stowa's bronze also won't ever get that manky green patina growing and will remain a cool looking bronze finish all the time.
To the question about tax above, you will not pay any tax/VAT at checkout with Stowa, they remove the 19% German tax when you pay. YOu will be billed the VAT amount by FedEx instead on top of their customs fee which is something like £24. I did the maths and it was discussed in the watch thread when I bought this. The import fee is very small really.

Is it wrong that I'm thinking of how many strap options would work with that?
A lot! Although keep in mind you need to get straps that taper down 2mm to the buckle. For me the Hirsch Pure natural rubber was the only options. Watch Obsession have a new slew of natural rubber straps coming soon though so keep an eye there.Edited by robbiekhan on Sunday 4th July 02:05

Tudor have released a bronze BB 58 Bronze
https://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watches/black-bay-fi...
According to Bark & Jack it's only available via boutiques and not AD's.
Personally I think it looks fantastic with the fabric strap.

I'm still yet to buy a bronze Stowa but I'm getting closer! I went onto their website today to see if prices had changes and discovered this:
I had been planning on getting this:
I'm torn. Also looking at robbiekhan's images is making me want one with logo but also with date if I go for the centre seconds where I was going to no logo, no date.
I like to have the date on my watches, the small seconds rules that out so maybe that answers my question. Any thoughts?
