Stowa - Holy Cow!!

YOWZA!

Cool...but NOT cheap!

Nice watch, but a little rich for my blood. There are some very nice WWII era watches on Ebay but a lot of them come from the Ukraine which seems a little sketchy to me. If this watches provenance is as stated it could be one of those rarities that really does qualify as an investment.

great looking dial and movement! This probably has hacking like the 4992b and 987s which was used on some military watches in the 40's.

Very cool. Just $9,751 out of my budget.

Thanks Mark, i was trying to snipe that and now everyone knows about it!!

Very cool....and VERY much out of my league!

I've looked at a couple of them myself; apparently, from what I've read on some other forums, a lot are reworked cases, dials etc. and not always the best workmanship

Wow, another spectacular Stowa Mark ! ..I'm learning more and more
about this company. Didn't realize they had such a GREAT history,
or had such rare sought after watches like this one here. I guess this
is one of the watches that actually helped start this type of style and
look ! ..That is just FANTASTIC ! ..Hey, Stowa even seems to have
their own museum according to this ! ..Great link, along with watch
Mark ! Thanks again !!!
