I am not arguing they are not. ppl on WUS are debating it on many other grounds.

I am just saying contributing level maybe not that high even if MSRP is set so high.
AD buy watches from Hamilton at a price X, price X+A is sold to consumer. wonder if profits is % of (X+A) or % of X?
if its just X then AD is the one contributing. since the surplus always go to grey market.

BTW: can order those Stowa time pieces already on Basel 2010, but everything go to do thru email.
should things go well in next few weeks, I maybe ordering 1.

limited edition ?

Oh great news, when will be the expected delivery time?

The plan was to look only, then accidently trying it... and end up buying it.

Price that i got slighly higher...rm991...it was an orange strap but i change it to black strip strap...so looks more sporty. the back of the watch are exacly like you post.
it is limited edition , being told that only 500 pieces were made. the one that you post are watch number 412.
Moscow Classic Zwezda 2416/04431139 model. This number you can see it at the mechanical.
got few watch that looks nice too, sayuz and poljot...but the price range are much more higher.
quite big i guess @ 45mm. my other watch is at 44mm so 1mm only the differences.

STOWA Flieger watch with the Baumuster B dial is one of the rarest historical Flieger watch which has ever been built (approx. 1940 /55 mm diameter) Refering to our information only 42 pcs have ever been built. For this reason the STOWA Baumuster B watch – the rarest large Flieger watch – is very interesting for watch enthusiasts.

this is nice. i should have bought this instead of CW

Aim for this watch

This post has been edited by kimurastanley: Jun 6 2010, 09:57 PM

well they are giving an intro why the release this B dial. it was rare back then. the new model is 40mm iirc and its not going to be LE.
well that CW is cheap just ~GBP$200 or EUR$240 right shouldn't have deplete your funds. The B dial would have cost EUR$630+EUR$39 shipping. U could order it now and wait for mid to Late Sept this yr for them to ship. still have 3 mths to save up the EUR$240 U just spend.

go check out the 1st thread on what I had..

herm...
the lume is not so awesome like ball,
accuracy part seems ok i guess, just bought it yesterday so couldn't tell more about it.
weight is much more lighter than my other watch.

btw, where can get ball with nice price around KL?

bold design Tissot.. is that a PRC 516? too many model under that series. quartz right? hope its not too far away from your aim!

Added on June 6, 2010, 11:41 pmhaha... I like ball lume but didn't wanna to pay an arm and a leg for it so end up getting a CW. same lume (see below) but i pay ~RM$1.2k.
ball the discount is controlled but u could easily get 25-30% off retail.
whats your other watch? does it hack? meaning when U pull the crown does the second hand stop? can U hand wind? rotor spinning loud?

Guys...new here. so need opinion...Im on a strict budget, so my watch would be at RM150-200 max...know whereabout I can get one that optimizes my expenditure? Just started working so...yea =X

vostok 2416B?
why not a poljot 3133? or 2426 or 2432 those are alittle higher end, although they aren't that costly I think, prices start around rm$500
