Lovely looking watch. Looking forward to the photos in due course.
That friggin' fly though is a bit of a pain in the ass if you don't mind me saying.

Re: Its going to be a long wait ...... Stowa on order
Thanks to all of you for your compliments about the Stowa chrono.
I'll have to get another/better camera before it arrives, so I can take some decent photos.

You will love it when it arrives.
It's even better in real life! It is the only watch I have come across that I want both dial versions.

What a great looking watch! I can't believe how many new watch brands I'm discovering since joining the forum.

Re: Its going to be a long wait ...... Stowa on order
I received an e-mail from Messers. Stowa this morning asking for my wrist size, so that the Milanese bracelet can be cut to size. It seems a little early to be asking such questions if the watch cannot be supplied until March 2012
Am I right to assume that, although cut to size, the bracelet will have some means of minor adjustment ?

Re: Its going to be a long wait ...... Stowa on order
I think you must allow any lead time from Stowa's suppliers (re CWL's experience with supplies and delivery dates). Even if they manufacture bracelet in-house there will be an allocated slot when the machines need to be setup.Jammy Devil wrote:...asking for my wrist size, so that the Milanese bracelet can be cut to size.

I would usually expect some micro adjustment in the clasp. However, if it's the 'hidden' clasp type (where the ends click into the butterfly like clasp) then maybe not.
Are there any pictures of the bracelet/clasp to assist?

I was concerned that "March 2012" might become "December 2011" - which would be wonderful, but might cause a cash flow problemst-rider wrote:I think you must allow any lead time from Stowa's suppliers (re CWL's experience with supplies and delivery dates).

Re: Its going to be a long wait ...... Stowa on order
Looks to me like the hidden type with little room for adjustment (unless the silver bars are links, even then they'd have to do half links!). Think original CWL bracelet (e.g. C6) and what a pain that is to adjust, still hit and miss with fit on some people.Jammy Devil wrote:This is the only picture on the Stowa website:
So I would give your wrist size that you feel comfortable with. I'd make sure it's your wrist though and not a measurement from some other watch/bracelet as that may sit differently when worn.
Nice strap BTW, very dress watch.

Re: Its going to be a long wait ...... Stowa on order
That looks very like this Staib bracelet from the Wach Band Centre, I have one of these and it is adjusted by removing the solid links at the back, they are the split pin type and the links are narrow, so it should be possible to get a good fit. These bracelets are from a German company so it is possible that Stowa use them.st-rider wrote:Looks to me like the hidden type with little room for adjustment (unless the silver bars are links, even then they'd have to do half links!).

No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Now from a personal perspective and totally off-topic, will it suit a CWL C60? (see this thread).

Just to help with the waiting of course and not meant to make the long wait worst!

Re: Its going to be a long wait ...... Stowa on order
@ st-rider and alphajet - Thank you for the advice about the bracelet, much appreciated
@ paw3001 - If the wait is tooooo long, I may have to purchase something else in the meantime. Thanks for the pics.
- methinks I might have caught xtripleitis
