Nah, has to be white for me :)
Thats nice.
I have been after a MO for ages but something keeps getting in the way (other watches)
Now I will struggle to decide, even when I finally get to the point of ordering :roll:
alex
One day I will hace one of these in m collection.
Cracking watches but I must say the white dial is the one for me.
Enjoy it.
I like both. This is one of Stowa's best IMHO.
wouldn't kick either out, but my preference is white
Oh no, now it is getting dangerous - MO on a (you know the overpriced one) Nato:

I love the look of the black MO, seriously classy.

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
I think I'll have to pick one of these up soon, one question though, does the second hand sweep?Nah, has to be white for me :)
White for me too.......soon.....hopefully....
Nah, has to be white for me :)
serioulsy wedding watch material right there :D
now if only the exchange rates would let up before july :x
White for me too, the tradition wins for me. I can understand Stowa going down the Dornbleuth route with the black one, but where does it stop?Nah, has to be white for me :)
Having said that about the black MO, I do like how the Limited Edition black one looks with a silver 12!

Sweet - very clean and tidy looking price...
You cannot beat the blue hands of the white one.Nah, has to be white for me :)
Vintage-Military wise the only reason you would have a black dial with white hands would be the addition of lume. :wink:

I think I have to agree with white... looks much more crisp with the blue hands, and it seems more traditional in the spirit of a marine chronometer. The black seems a bit too stealth for my taste -- perhaps if they had stamped the numerals to give it a bit more dial interest?
Both are gorgeous, prefer the black dial but also love the blued hands of the white dial. :D
the swines, now i have to save up for one of each!! :lol: :twisted:
Nice watch, although an extremely high price Jorg Schauer has in mind...Not a special caliber either. :?
My thoughts exactly - if the black version had lume I might be interested - although then, you might as well go for the pilot's option.
I'll stick with the original white, and keep debating auto vs hand-wind.
I'll be starting a Poll on "auto vs manual" for some research I am doing (probably later today) so you can practice your logic there. Personally I wish there was a manual version of the smaller Marine (Automatic).
This in manual and without a date would be perfect.

The black is limited to 120 worldwide - 80 for Watch buys USA and forty for direct customers. Shipping in October. 1150.
The black is not limited, but there is a limited edition of the black
:)
LE is brushed, not available with Roman numerals and has an applied silver (plated?) number 12.
Non LEs are available before October, or were when I looked on WUS stowa board.
No one with a rose gold one then? Thought you were all men of means? :D
I agree on that John!

Both black & white look great.
Love the marine/deck watch style but I don't really care for the 'pinched' minute hands on the MOs (or the wonky 'S' in Stowa :D ) and the Dornbluth is too pricey.
So I'm having one built from parts sourced from Roland Kremmner:
It should look something like this when assembled:

Just had a mail to say that I am getting a black dialled MO LE2!!
Pics wil be posted when it arrives - which I suspect will be a little after the scheduled October delivery date!
In principal, I agree, but I just love the stark black and white contrast! Also, I used to have a black dialled Antea, and despite the lack of lume it was legible in surprisingly dark conditions due to the high contrast of dial and hands.My thoughts exactly - if the black version had lume I might be interested - although then, you might as well go for the pilot's option.

(Yes, ideally I'd love a Dornbleuth, but that isn't likely to happen in this lifetime!)

They both look great, the white perhaps a bit dressier.
I would however prefer the matt case, but it seems the polished versions are more popular.
Well I have got a white MO (Matt) and have just managed to secure what i think was the last preorder for the Black Limited Edition MO, so am very happy, however the long wait is going to kill me.
The other dilema is, as I have had an Airman Original on order since August, but can't really afford both, which one do I go for???

You can sell it to me for 150 GBP, anytime :D
Deal!!You can sell it to me for 150,000,000 GBP, anytime :D
I don't think you need worry, production has ground to a halt on the AO, the guy who supplied or modified the movements passed away, jorg is trying to find an alternative and I suspect is very picky in order to preserve the quality of his product, if your AO reservation number is higher than 400 I think it is unlikely you will receive it in 2009.
MOLE 86/120 on its way to me :bom:
double post
Hi Phil,
I heard about the supplier, unfortunately I am number 436 and yeah am not expecting to get it this year, however I am becoming a bit obsessive about Stowa, as I have three and two on order now!
How did you find out what number you were? I got an email from Jorg saying there were a few left and one was mine, but he didn't state the number? Maybe Viveca will email me on Monday?
Rich
Rich, I received my confirmation from Viceca yesterday, I ordered via the link Stowa sent me on Wednesday, I didn't request a number so not sure, maybe if you contacted Jorg he reserved you one and passed it to viceca to confirm?
I prefer the black to the white dial. But then I'm not big on white dials.
I think that looks extremely good. The outer minute track is a bit bigger, so the dial is not that "empty". Very nice!Both black & white look great.

The only thing that really bugs me is the wrong 9. It's rounded, unlike the other ones. :(

Nice watch, but I prefer white version :)
