For sale is a limited edition version of Stowa's well known Flieger Baumuster B watch. I am asking $900 for the watch plus shipping. No trades please. I would prefer an Interac transaction, however, I will accept Paypal if you pay the fees.

The watch was originally purchased in October 2011 and I have owned it since October 2012.

This limited edition watch features a hand wound ETA 2801 movement with a very high level of decoration (my poor photography skills fail to properly capture the beauty of the movement). The special edition package included a solid case back as well as a sapphire glass case back -- this one is fitted with the sapphire and the solid back is unblemished. The watch will come on a short version of Stowa's Flieger strap. The original strap was too small for me, so I wore it on a DB10 custom made strap. There is a lot of life left in the original strap, but, should you wish to change up the strap, I am also including a slightly used short strap in black and a brand new full length Stowa Flieger strap in brown which I purchased last year but never used. The package will also include a Stowa branded Victorianox knife with a special watch-strap tool.

Probably the best feature of the watch is that it is a classic Baumuster B dial in a very wearable 40mm x 10mm case. These watches typically come in 43mm or larger cases, making them largely unwearable for the majority of the population, including me.

Stowa made a regular run version of this watch for a while, but no longer appears on their website. The only version now is the automatic.

For those who have experienced Stowa watches, you will know what exceptional quality and value they offer. You will probably also be familiar with the very long waiting list for their watches. The current wait time is the end of March for a version with a top quality movement.

The watch is in very good condition with a few strap change marks on the back of the lugs and a larger mark on the case back from a slipped watch tool. *smacks forehead* The front of the watch has a few marks (highlighted in red) on the lugs and on the bezel at 12 o'clock that happened when an evil door jumped out and bit the watch....

If the buyer is not completely satisfied that the photos accurately reflect the watch and its very good condition, I will accept a return within one week of delivery.

I have lots of references on T Z-UK and WUS under the same user name.

Photos are below and I will include additional in a follow up post.

Thanks for looking,

Alljay

Bumping this one to the top.

A new version (automatic only) with the same grade movement would cost 705 Euros ($1063 today) plus duty and taxes or roughly $1273. If you think that my price is too high, make me an offer.

Remember that the photos make the marks look far worse than they do in real life. I am hyper critical of watch condition and I always want people to think that I have over-delivered on what I promise.

Cheerio,

Jay
