Apart from the watch what else in that rather large watch box? Very curious.

Just papers bro.. This is a 200pc limited edition, but not sure if that makes the packaging any different because its my 1st stowa. I did order an additional strap but it came outside the box.

The dial is really beautiful. Mind to take a photo of it under natural sunlight?

Errm... I wished I could but I can't.. At least not yet. Actually the watch arrived in Msia 2 days late and I'm already back in Shanghai where I'm working. Watch was received by my brother and pics taken by him for me. Just shared out of excitement. Now anxiously waiting for other friend's help to handcarry it over to me. Will share more pics then.

Grats with your purchase. Glad to see someone local also plunge into it. Glad to have another stowarista in Malaysia

Mine is scheduled to arrive this two days.

As for the box. It's always that size. And some brown paper to protect. Stowa will allow to fit 3 watches in it at once.

Are your watch imposed GST upon arriving in Malaysia?

Thanks for sharing. Bro hidden830726, mind to share whether your watch is imposed of GST when you receive your watch. I think now our Custom is very straight and chances of GST overlook will be very slim.

Thanks bro.

Alternate is to buy watch oversea and bring it in personally, either by yourself or ask a favour from friends/relatives if they go oversea.
