A German came to visit me at my office today!

Last week, I posted a thread on an incoming that I have been wanting for a while now. We’ll it finally came in today!

It is a Stowa Marine Original with dark brown crocodile strap. The thing that drew me to this watch was its classic design and beautifully finished movement. At 41mm it is at the end of my comfort level for a dress type watch and it is certainly very legible.

Enough talk…here are some photos:
