tyrion Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 The Stowa just arrived. I have a brown leather band that came with it in addition to the zulu on it in the pic: Now the question is do I keep the Stowa and the Damasko or sell one.

crappyjones123 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Day date makes me lean towards the latter. Overall dial looks cleaner too. Nice watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark527 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 The Stowa is more historically accurate (sterile dial, one of the original 5 during WWII) if you're into that aspect. But the Damasko is a nice update to the classic flieger design. Either watch is a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadneddz Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I like the "real bond" Zulu in first pic. Just picked up a grey/black bond zulu myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Both are beauties, Mike, but I favor #1 - cleaner, more historically accurate, and will look great with the brown leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I agree with Gene, go with the Stowa. If you can't remember the day and date then you would probably forget to look at your watch anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks guys. The Stowa is the classic flieger and has crazy good lume. Close to an Omega P.O. which has some of the best lume out there. I may hold onto both for a while and see which grows on me. I've been looking for the Stowa for a while. Due to a lack of movements Stowa will not ship any until late August. They rarely come up used, in particular with no logo/no date. The Damasko has one of the best cases out there but is not nearly as difficult to find used or new. I also love the blued hands and display back on the Stowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolink24 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Both beautiful, as everyone said, but boy do I love the Stowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I agree with Gene, go with the Stowa. If you can't remember the day and date then you would probably forget to look at your watch anyway. I remember biology definitions verbatim from 8th grade and can tell you which ion was where on the page in my Chemistry book and what the valency was and an innumerable number of useless things BUT I can't remember what day or date it is. Hell I can't even remember my poker hand for just a single round of betting. No joke. I've been wearing a watch for as long as I can remember and use it a lot any given day.

guzziguy Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I thought that getting the time, day and date is what a cell phone is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I thought that getting the time, day and date is what a cell phone is for. To get the day and date on my phone i have to make some sliding gesture and touch the calendar icon ... easier to flick the wrist and look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 My vote would be for the stowa, but both are great watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I forget a lot of things but typically it's not the day/date. I'm holding both for the moment. Now I'm waiting for the new Ocean7 LM-4 V2 ceramic case to be released. Wrist shot brown strap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Damn, I'm not a watch guy, but if you decide to let the Stowa go, please let me know. I still say keep it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 My only real complaint with this watch is it's only 30M rated, so I can't wear it in the pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I probably wouldn't take it in the pool either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I like the one with the brown leather, Mike, fwiw. Like Jim, if you keep the Stowa but want to sell this one let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
