Thanks Guys!

It has been a great few weeks.  The Mad Cow has to be my favorite of the bunch, and also one of the best bargains and most satisfying purchases in my WIS experience.

Great stuff! Love that Ball.

You'll have no trouble moving that Stowa should you decide to. That one remains in my ever-evolving mental list of "must buy at some point" watches.

Definitely empathize with the feeling of not bonding with a watch though. I bought a Doxa 750T Sharkhunter earlier this year that left me completely cold. Flipped it within a few days. Aside from the completely sub-par lume on the dial, there was nothing really wrong with it, certainly very nicely made, but man talk about zero emotional connection....

Thats funny!  I am considering trading the Stowa (or selling and buying) for a Doxa 750t Sharkhunter.  I know some were made with bad lume, it soundls like you got one of them unfortunately. 

The emotional attachment, or lack thereof, is something that cannot be explained.  It is either there or it isn't.  Oddly, the Stowa is looking better every day, so I'm not making any decisions until the brown and red bezel arrive.  That might endear it to me.

Yeah. Real bummer, especially since I had done a lot of research into the issue, and was personally assured that my watch would NOT be one of those.

I've seen 20 dollar Chinese homages with better lume, and the issue on their forum was always played down as "it's good enough...you're not in the know if you think otherwise".  Exsqueeze me? A dive watch of this caliber must have at least marginally decent lume....this wasn't even close.

If I would have been more taken with it, I may have asked for a replacement, but it was just quicker to flip it and move on.

C'est la vie.
