it has to be IWC
Off course it has to be IWC. Stowa is nothing but a low life brand.

As a Stowa brand ambassador, i suppose you don't have to reply in such sarcasm ...  :Cheers:

Hahahhahaha. Off course everyone will go IWC if money is no consideration.

But if you only have 5k in hand.....

Wow. I'm a Stowa ambassador. Hahah

There are many reasons people feel good wearing a certain watch (brand):-

(1) the design/type ( I think you have decided on flieger /pilot type)

(2) use (eg time /date, complications , etc) (basically you choose a basic function watch to tell time)

(3) branding/ image (some people may not care about the brand /image associated with the brand )

(4) value (this is quite subjective as those who can afford luxury watches, value probably is their last concern.. cost a few hundred Ringgit orient bambino or Seiko 5 can do the same thing )

Maybe you can look at point no 3...

Stowa is a good watch like a VW

IWC is also a good watch like a Merz..

Whether you want a VW or Merz .. up to you .. but generally most people would prefer a merz , me included ..

No right or wrong here ...

Quite true. To be fair. I started with Stowa because I can't afford a Zenith or IWC back then. Then when I have the ability, I fall back to the comfort zone and remain with Stowa.

Along the way, I learn about watches and continue to add on Stowa because that is my collection direction.

Non WIS laugh at my Stowa because they only know Rolex, Omega, IWC. Me, in the meanwhile laugh back at them because of their lack of knowledge.

Only then I realised, I have determination in me to spread the word about Stowa in Malaysia.

Its like a cult, a family thing. Apparently from my involment in Stowa forum, most of the Stowa customer act like a little brand ambassador.

To TS. have fun buying your watch. No right or wrong. I just choose to drive Honda.

Haha. It's just a simple rant from me back then. Will probably stop buying watches all together. Stowa also getting more and more expensive these days. Again back to the same problem. I couldn't afford.
