Hi u/watchexchange! **Background:** This one flew under the radar last time around so I'm adding a kicker to spice things up and get this moving! Up for grabs is another variation on my lifelong pick for best GADA watch under $1,000. This Stowa Classic Marine 36 with automatic decorated movement is absolutely stunning front and back and has proven time and time again to be a conversation starter, an eye catcher, and a great introduction to many of my own friends to the world of horology as it's from an esteemed brand that isn't one of the more globally known brands. This time around, I'm including a Glossy Black Brand New Shell Cordovan Strap ($70 value). Let's get this beauty sold! **Watch:** Stowa Classic Marine Automatic with Date **Link to watch:** [https://www.stowa.de/en/Marine+36+classic-arabic-white.htm](https://www.stowa.de/en/Marine+36+classic-arabic-white.htm) **Included:** Full kit including the watch on the OEM strap with original buckle in excellent condition. The watch is in like new condition and includes the box and papers with a June 2021 date (still under warranty for 3 months but the watch is running flawlessly) **Condition Grade: (Click Here for Scale Guide):** Mint as depicted in the photos. VG+, Excellent condition like new. No notable blemishes and certainly none that were detectable on camera. Photos are true to condition. Upgraded Shell Cordovan Strap is Brand New not even a crinkle. **Link to Album with Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/RpVXcf9](https://imgur.com/a/RpVXcf9) **Price:** Best watch under $1,000 means best watch under $700 lol. Asking a very reasonable $699 OBRO shipped CONUS payment via wire Zelle, PayPal F&F (G&S with references), or Venmo; shipping and insurance included. While supplies last, I will also include a freebie (looking like a hat) from my coffee shop, Kind Grounds, in West Los Angeles! I recently received a couple more (the rest are on sale at the shop) and I'd be happy to spread the company name to other parts of the country/world! As always, if you see multiple pieces you're interested in, I'm always happy to work out a combination deal! Have a nice Sunday all! Stay safe and healthy out there.
