This was our take.

"The thing that worried me most about the watch was the crown position, and whether this would allow easy adjustment of the time. Once tested, I can say that it is not comfortable to adjust the time on this watch, yet it is not as difficult as I had first imagined. I guess it is all in the mind… The crown is unscrewed clockwise, which is the really unexpected feature, but an arrow on the crown reminds us of this.
Manual winding is possible once the crown is unscrewed and is clockwise in the traditional way (the watch uses a standard caliber, after all). For the date adjustment, the crown is pulled to the first position, although this is the French Navy reissue, so it is a no date version. For the time adjustment, the crown must be pulled to the second position. There are satisfactory clicks when pulling into each successive position, but it must be noted that the top of the swivel end link is in the way when pulling and manipulating the crown."
Well, Thailand has been known as the source of many colourful limited editions. But I get you. It's fairly similar in Europe, where they also play it safe.
I own the Stowa 40 mm Vintage Bronze.
A superb watch, in my view, but one does pay for "intangibles", likely due to it being one of the five original producers of B-Uhren.
I love it, but I think that there is better value from brands like Dekla. The latter also offers an outstanding level of personalisation.
Anyway, here is a link to a review that I wrote soon after getting it.
