Unfortunately, there's no discount for Marine Original...I'm very disappointed.😔
May I know any alternatives would you suggest?

Main competitors = Laco Cuxhaven/Bremerhaven, Archimede Deck Watch and Dekla Deck Watch.

Laco seems in different, and I'm not sure about Dekla as she is still a microbrand.
I'm just considering buy a deckwatch from Archimede or keep going on Stowa's MO...

The Archimede IMHO the logo dominates the dial a bit too much for my taste, and they don't do anything to the movement (Stowa has Swan Neck IIRC etc.) but overall it is the most similar of them to the Stowa.

I have a Dekla Deck Watch and its for sure a quality piece. If you're outside the US, I'd recommend them without hesitation. Inside the US, they moved to WatchBuys and not as good a deal as before - otherwise I'd order another watch from them.

I think I've seen that Stowa prices are going up on Jan 1 so if Stowa is the one you're set on, perhaps best to act quick.

I ordered in the same time frame and they sent an email saying they'd be closed from roughly Christmas to Jan 10th for the holidays. So I imagine they're just now ramping back up again. Hopefully soon.

Received my FedEx tracking number from the sale overnight. Hopefully you'll all be getting yours soon too.
