365 vs KS second hands + ot

[wille]

I know there are a few posts like this on here, but I didn't see this question answered anywhere....

I understand the differences between the two just fine, but are the second hands on both sweeping second hands? Does anyone have video of either watch? I couldn't find anything by googling / youtubing.

after exchange rates and shipping and the Croco strap, what is the total cost for each watch in USD?


Last, am I crazy to consider spending 100-200 on a simple timex with a brown leather strap? This would be instead of the stowa. Jcrew has a nice understated looking one right now called the "1600". I eventually will get the mechanical watch I've recently been pining for, but should I wait until I'm a little older (26 now) and my tastes stop changing so much?

I know guys...a timex doesnt even compare to a stowa, but since it's a relatively simple style, maybe I'm better served saving my money for a more "interesting" piece. You know?

Hi mate. I found this video on youtube - a review of the Antea KS.

Watch Review - Stowa Antea KS Kleine Sekunde - YouTube

The second hand on the KS is a sweeping seconds hand. I haven't seen the 365 or 390 in action, but I would assume that the second hands on both those watches were also sweeping seconds.

Both are mechanical so the answer is yes.

Mind doing the math yourself ? However, if you order today and the delivery will be in 4 month and you will be asked to pay about 120 days before delivery how can we know what the exchange rate will be ??? It's like asking the crystal ball.
