Oh man where did you get that? Been looking for something like this for a while, either that or the stainless steel Casio Marlins which seem to be super rare. Just to have in the collection of vintage digitals!

I also cannot get enough of this dial:

I got it recently on Ebay for £100. Here's one similar https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203997358543 don't pay the asking, make an offer.

Or if you're after a Marlin then the H101 is the original and best: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284844900754 Better than the A159 as it's got the WR and a countdown timer. You can see where the square G-shocks got their DNA.

See I've seen the used ones before but I am determined to find a NOS one like I did with my Casio Cognit Schema DB-81 - I have to have it in pristine condition!

Nice. Looks like an Erika’s strap?

My apologies, only just seen this - yes, and very comfortable it is as well.

That's lovely, is it porcelain?

[robbiekhan]

It is not! It is painted brass, although not quite sure what paint process they use - It looks like enamel/porcelain and even under a loupe is is so pure/smooth with a deep gloss.

I also realise I haven't actually posted a wrist shot give it's a wrist check thread...

They're on a roll recently.

I've been wearing this for the past week. Just changed the bracelet for a brown crocodile strap today and I'm surprised at how much it changes the look of the watch.

Funnily this model has been out since 2019 and has had some coverage in media like W&W: https://wornandwound.com/introducing-the-stowa-mar...

But aside from that, even their own photos are just stock studio images and not much other coverage elsewhere either which is a shame as nothing out there truly showed how cool the dial looks.

That is very nice, classy with the leather strap

Its my dads birthday today he would of been 59 and its also fathers day so decided to put my dads watch on the wrist, ill probably keep it on for a few weeks now as got my first son being born in 9 days so will keep it on for that occasion.

My dads Rolex was proudly on my wrist at 0342 this morning when my first child (son) was born, few photos of him and the watch so when he inherits it eventually he will know its story.
