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. 

My first impressions was, well, IMPRESSIVE watch, for the price !! Clean looking dial, with a chronometre look.

A closer inspection of the dial revealed a regressed sub-sec dial, a nice touch !

And proudly declaring its birth place in Bavaria. 

And beautiful twisted Blued Hands (a sucker for blued hands)

White as sheet dial colour, with big arabic numerals. Very legible indeed !!

Did I mention I luv the clean look of the dial

And to the engine room. Will let the pictures do all the talking here ........

And a shot of the crown, displaying the STOWA logo engraved.

And I order the optional deployant, although, it must be said is not the most comfortable nor best designed.

Although, I love the deep dark brown leather strap that comes with the watch, very lustrous to the touch.

And finally a shot of the case from the side.

So would I recommend it ?

Jus got it today, but on initial impressions, YES. And at the price point, its hard to fault the watch. The long wait is most certainly a pain, so if you do not mind that small inconvenience. Do as I did and be pleasantly surprised !!

This is dedicated to the inspiring piece done by Daos. I promised you some pictures back then, so here they are. ..... and like u, I have been officially STOWA(ed)
