Holy crap, that KS41 is just lovely. :thumbup:

In fact, they're both gorgeous. Congrats, and happy Christmas!


I think, if another KS41 comes up, or maybe even an Antea 390 day/date, I may be tempted...

Cheers Downer :D

Here's a shot next to it's sibling the 35mm version:

Definitely bigger, but not too big. Dial is very clean - even missing the 'made in Germany' of the smaller watch. The bigger hands give you even more of the blue flashes.

The Antea is the one I am hoping to snaffle at some point.

1 and 2 looks like different sizes, don't they ? Was there a smaller than 39mm version of the Antea date, anyone know ?

I agree, they do look different. I'm not an expert on Stowa, but I don't think they have sold an Antea date in the 36.5mm case..

Problem is, by the time the site shows the details, the watches are sold...

Thanks Richard. Still trying to convince myself I don't need another Stowa already, but the Antea is very tempting :-)

You were right, Jan. #1 was a 365 with date... :)
