Difficult?not really..i just received mine today..dun ask me abt the pricing n stuff..its been a couple of mths..didnt keep track alrdy..
Received Via Fed-Ex

Latest update for those who wanna buy Stowa via stowa.com.

For SG and MY customers who wanna buy Stowa watches WITHOUT PAYING VAT, you will have to REGISTER an account with FEDEX (fax a copy of your I/C and Credit Card) to ensure valid transaction to the customer. Contact FEDEX Singapore to enquire on how to open an acct.

Once the above is done, you will need to advise STOWA your FEDEX acct no that they can verify with FEDEX in Germany, thereby, ensuring you only pay the watch NETT pricing minus German VAT.

Hope the abv helps.

Cheers!

Nope, not that i know of. I emailed the stowa guys too. No reply. Dunno if we MO can get better price or not

Haiz..so difficult to get a Stowa, interested to get one or two pieces.
Anyone knows if any distributor brings it into Singapore?

[ghost]

If go thru Vpost cannot avoid either ah? Man. Maybe gotta look for some chum that resides elsewhere, but must be a reliable chap/ chick

[Wisingapore]

Yes, that is mainly why at the end I didnt buy...

How? Any bros got idea to dun pay the VAT? VAT is like 17 percent leh then still have to add GST damn no logic...

Bro, found the link. Wii was right. Hafta go thru the german link coz of VAT issues. Sporeans and malaysians hafta pay VAT! Other countries no need! CCB! Dunno if should order thru to VPost...

[kermit e froggy]

Anyone with updates on whether Stowa can deliver to Singapore? I"m keen too... especially the Airman Ikarus or Airman automatic date.

[Wisingapore]

I got it for a pretty good price, orginally abt 1600 i think.... their new series super ex, i think 4k++

Bro, you're damn rich man! Glasshute -expensive poor man's lange. Lange just tooo expensive...IWC - er, i wont pay so much for a brand that uses Valjoux 7750 for their chronograph (which my plasmir milgraph also uses) and then charge ppl a king's ransom for it! Archimede i think u mean. Archimedes was the precursor to Carl F Bucherer...so prob damn ex too...

How much was the azimuth if you dun mind me asking? I gotta say, their watches are quite nice..feel quite a bit of national pride man!

[Wisingapore]

I got the Azimuth Bombardier I.

Ordering is possible, but a little troublesome, I have their email somewhere, will pass it to you when I find it. They have 2 websites, I think the germany website can order to sg, whereas the us one cannot, or the other way round...

For alternatives, I would check out the aristo, archimedes, azimuth, laco, iwc (hehe), glastutte original (hohoho), steinhart and Sinn.

look out for the sales corner too...

[ghost]

Bro, i tried ordering online- the exact one you were checking out. There's no "singapore" in the country field. hence, i have to wait for the man himself to reply.....i was trawling their forum, checking out the posts, pics, etc...

So which B-uhrs did u buy in th end? Locally, prob can only find the meistersinger, eberhard, fortis ? And of cse, the azimuth

[Wisingapore]

I think must order online, I almost ordered the Airman Original No Logo, but it was out of stock at that time, and due to cannot bear the watch itch, I bought some other watches locally instead.

Now I want the Marine Original... very very nice...

I think if anyone is interested in buying mid next year, can consider a Mass Order, but i am not sure how much cheaper it will be or at all, but at the least we can save on shipping charges...

[ghost]

HAHA! Bro, you beat me to the punch! I spent all of yesterday surfing and researching the net for this brand! Even wanted to order it off the net but there's no delivery to singapore! So i emailed Jorg shauer - no reply as yet....

Yes it's true. The stowa looks damn badass. 1 of the 5 that made the B-uhrs for the luftwaffe. The others being - Lange, IWC, Laco, wempe....Laco's watches dont look that cool, and wempe seems to have become some big-time jewellery shop......

I aint gonna fork out thousands for an IWC, and definitely not 10s of thousands for a lange either..so..and this looks way better than the fortis etc types..hell i think it gives azimuth a real kick in the ass (sorry chris) coz it's one of the original!
