What time is it? Watches and horology

Er... how is that anything like a Speedmaster? Apart from being a chronograph in the most general sense. It’s styled after a pilot’s chronograph (large arabics, timing bezel) not a racing chronograph (tachy scale).

I bought this direct from Stowa in Feb of this year. But I do not wear it and just do not like the Roman numerals. It is the 40mm Stowa Marine Klassik, with the handwound movement.

It is in perfect condition, no scratches, strap has never been changed, still in warranty, box etc etc.

Is anyone here interested in it before I list it for sale elsewhere? It cost me £740 when new, would be looking for £500.

edited to update model details and price.

I would also like it to appreciate in value

This is nice looking, auto and limited.

I really like those Yema Superman watches. They nailed the vintage look and case size.

This is tempting. In-house movement too, is it any good?

cool second hand

Can't speak to the movement. There is a bit on it here: https://eu.yema.com/pages/yema-expertise

45 hour power reserve and +/- 6 seconds per day sounds great if it performs in that range.

Got to be worth trying out for the price though! My feeling is that it wouldn't compare unfavourably to a Seiko Turtle, for example, to pick a dive watch with an in house movement in the same price range. Different aesthetic obviously.

That GMT is ETA 2893-2 based so doesn't fit the "true" GMT brief. Looks good though. Not sure that it'll appreciate, but you presumably wouldn't lose too much either.

Yema have some really nice watches at the mo. Mind you, there's loads of competition around that price point (Magrette GMT / Alpina Startimer (which i think is a true GMT) / Halios Seaforth / Steinhart etc).

Isn't that similar to retail?

This would look really good on a yellow porsche

yup... I'm not sure what the supply is like on them though

The bezel guard thing looks pretty awful imo

Roman numerals, yuk. The 8 looks especially bad (as always).

You mean perfect :)

I'd buy it if I wasn't on a watch moratorium.

Just considering whether "Roman numerals, yuk. " should go in the gold club thread.

I dislike Roman numbers in a watch.
Give me indices ideally, or not a full complement of Arabic.

Would be cool if they did the ltd ed red one in that size too.

This is a nice roman numeral dial. No number flipping and normal 4.

Only 24 grand.

Another fruitless ask at T5 Rolex boutique today.

Apparently they do get Daytona’s and GMTs in.

About two of each piece a year...
