Hello all,
I have had a Marine Original silver dial in my basket for months now but can never quite bring myself to pull the trigger. I have done the necessary searches and I understand that Stowa doesn't offer discount codes. I did read about previous advent calendars though and just had it confirmed from their helpdesk that it'll run again this year. My question is, what sort of reductions to the advent calendars generally offer? Ergo, are they worth waiting for? I envisage a long winter of me lazily winding my 6498!!
Cheers.

So I was also waiting for a Type B. I was excited it came up last night. I swear I completed the order, but I don't see any record of it today on the site or on my credit card. Is that because I didn't complete the order or because they are away on holiday?

I bought yesterday and got an email from [email protected] as an order confirmation after I placed it. They emailed me a little later asking my wrist size.

Thank you. I just went through the process again. I suspect I missed the little yellow button to buy at the end. This time I have a PDF of it with the order number to be sure! I was trying to rush before I went to sleep last night. That's what I get for rushing. Again thank you

Has anyone who ordered on the Advent Calendar sale got their watches yet? Ordered a Type B on the 23rd said 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. Coming up on three weeks now and no word on it shipping. Been my grail watch for years and cannot wait!

For what it's worth, I ordered one also and asked a question in the notes. On Tuesday January 11th they replied to my question and said they would send Fedex details when the watch shipped. Hopefully we'll see something in the next week...

I ordered a new one on December 24th. I can only imagine the wait I have considering those who ordered a watch already made are still waiting. But that's alright with me. I expect it. I suppose it'll be sometime late February.

I wrote back to them, pointed out that when I ordered they said it would be 3-4 weeks, and asked what their timeline was

. I'll let you know when I hear something

Thanks! It'll be interesting to see what they say. I'll check back.

They wrote back a polite letter (see below in blue for the pertinent info).

Many thanks for your email.

We are experiencing a bit of a backlog from our winter break. We understand that your delivery time was supposed to be by the end of this week. We apologize for the delay.
Would you please allow us time till next week to get back to you with a more clearer shipping date?

Thank you in advance and please feel free to contact us for any further questions.

I wish you a nice day.

With best regards from the Black Forest.

Thanks for the update. Didn't feel the need to start chasing them yet as it'a only 4 weeks tomorrow. Looks like they left their Christmas Holidays out of their calculations of an ETA of 3 to 4 weeks. I'll give it another 2 then.

I take it as a good sign that they sold a bunch of watches over the holidays

. I'm willing to wait awhile longer.

Received my FedEx tracking number from the sale overnight. Hopefully you'll all be getting yours soon too.

Super

. Glad you have good news. I haven't seen anything for mine yet, but it seems like it won't be too much longer now

Finally got shipment notification! Should have it Friday 😁

Was resigned to it being another week or two. I messaged them Monday evening and they replied Tuesday apologizing to give them time as due to the high demand and the break they were behind schedule.

Got another email saying pretty much the same thing this morning from a different agent so was surprised to get a shipping notification a few hours later.

First off congrats

. That gives me some hope. Even though I didn't write to them again, I did receive a message saying they were running behind. I'm hoping your good fortune is a sign that those of us still waiting aren't far behind
