Not to completely derail the thread (nice watch, btw) but as a long time collector of the "swag" you posted (shhh... don't want to get banned) you rarely see company advertising on them anymore when it used to be quite common many years ago. Nice touch Stowa!

Lovely watch! I placed an order with Stowa back in December. Received an email confirmation and everything. I have never heard back from them.

I might have to try one someday. However it's very similar to the IWC Big Pilot I had.
