Lose the ugly mesh, but it's really hot.

Word. Friends don't let friends wear mesh (unless it's a PloProf).

I think it's nice...add a black leather strap...

But not better than a Portuguese...

No denying that the IWC is very pretty. Specifically I prefer this chrono layout vs the IWC where the subdials eat up the indices. At any rate the Stowa's indices have a bit more character than the IWC. Also I think the Stowa's onion crown and applied logo look better...the watch is a home run in my book...

Of course, this is with de gustibus provisos notwithstanding...

If it was only brushed you could slap one those Kubus bracelets on it. Kubus :love:

Hot! I don't mind the mesh, but would indeed be better on a sweet strap.

Is this a Basel release? It would be perfect if it had a 60 minute chrono.

Agreed.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt

+1

But in its price range, I think it's hard to beat for a somewhat dressy pilot's chrono.

I like this a loooooooot.

However, onion crowns is meh on this. Maybe they can make one for me without the onion. Not that I'm ordering one any time soon. If they make a panda dial version though, watch out.

I do have to say though that the 2 numeral doesn't really fit in with the design language of the watch.

Still, I think the IWC Portuguese Chrono still wins although it's about double the cost.

Matt, it's not exactly like you "live" with anyone's offerings for more than a week or so. Just saying.
