May I know whether is Lum Tec a good watch manufacturer? Interested in the design of their upcoming M series. Would like to know whether the quality of the watch is good. Thanks.

Anyone here owns a LumTec before? Is it a good brand?

Not owning one, but you can see some reviews/opinion here,

how long was your wait? what is the lug size? cordovan that fit a nomos can be bought on ebay for US$100+shipping

in any case was it worth the wait?
any pics of the back?


Thanks for the links. I've waited about 3 months for it, although it was quite a long period and it felt like ages but I would say it is worth the wait as the watch is very well built. Will upload some pics of the back soon.

Waited for about 3 months for it. Feels great when received it. It's a really nice watch, thinking of getting the Baumaster B from them again soon, lol...

The buying process is quite easy actually, you just need to drop them an email to order the watch that you want and they will send you an confirmation email to confirm your order and inform you the anticipated waiting time. They will send you an email to ask for payment when the watch is ready, in my case it was 2 and a half months before receiving the notification. The watch will be shipped once the payment is received.

Regarding the VAT, Malaysian customers will be subject to the additional 19% charge unless one has the Fedex account. If you have a Fedex account, just inform stowa and give them your account number and they will charge you the price without VAT. Was informed by them that the VAT charge for Malaysia and Singapore are due to custom issues, so we will have to pay a higher price if we do not have a Fedex account.

For shipping, stowa is using the service from Fedex and I would say I'm very impressed with their service as it was really fast, totally out of my expectations, lol... I received my watch in less than 48th hours after i receive the delivery notification from Fedex, and though the anticipated delivery time is 4 days as shown on their website, but it just reaches me in 2 days. That was really fast in my opinion.

Overall it's quite an easy and smooth process, just that the waiting time is a bit long. A good experience anyway.
