Stowa Replacement Inbound

mattcantwin · Post by **mattcantwin** » Tue Jun 09, 2020 9:02 am

Just went through a catch-and-release of a Stowa Flieger 40mm.

Definitely bummed about moving it out, but it just wore too small.

As a matter of fact, the buyer was initially taken aback as well.

I had to double check to make sure it wasn't a 36 because it wears like one.

I have a small 6.75" and was concerned about the 40" and I'm glad I went with that because it's PERFECT!!!

Just picked up the replacement on WUS; Hanhart Pioneer One Limited Edition (I believe it is a Watchbuys exclusive).

Posting stock pictures because they're hot.

That's a great watch, congrats Matt.

With only 150 pcs made I'm surprised that didn't sell out a long time ago.

Nice - I always liked the uniqueness of that one with the oversized crown and cool bezel.

Well if it's even half a nice as these stock pics look than it will all be
worth it Matt !

Seriously is a seriously cool looking watch !

You know what else sir?! ..We never really see that many Hanharts,
and especially on our wrists at the forum. So it will be awesome to
see yours when it arrives.

Big congrats ahead of time here !!!

The watch arrived yesterday.

I usually don't post an "unpacking" thread, but this is my first Hanhart and it's a bit unique (reminds me of Bremont).

Starts with a box...

that has a sleeve..

with a leather case inside...

that "unsnaps" to reveal the watch inside, snapped into place.

Initial impressions are all good; heftier than expected, size works perfectly and great dial design.

Not surprised the strap is too small for me to wear.

Now I have to find a strap combo that I like and Chris doesn't hate.

That looks great Matt! Oh and Chris hates everything, so buy what you want. lol

Congratulations

I saw this one at the WB Roadshow. It’s very cool in the flesh. Lume is very good too!

Hopefully this one will stick with you
