If you're interested in the Stowa, check out Dekla.
They make their own cases, dials, and hands.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

I know it’s different design but this 36mm Stowa manual wind might be the watch I am looking for with my budget.

Does anyone have experience with this watch?
Responding to page by @TheJohnP. I have the Antea Klassik KS Rose pictured below(details linked here). While it has has the same movement(Peseux 7001) and strap, the hands, case and dial are different. The Marine Classic 36 case size is 0.5mm larger and height is 1.6mm taller than the KS Rose. I don't think I can help much on the Marine Classic but if there's a question about the KS Rose, feel free to ask.

Thank you for this. They look great!
From what I searched online, they used to have great pricing before Watchbuys became the dealer for North America. Is this true? I would like to know if there are alternative routes to purchase their watches...

As far as I know, directly from Dekla is the best price.
