I like the vintage skin diver vibe on that CW, although the polished case looks somewhat out of place.
Case is brushed, but the bezel is polished and the case side has the usual CW casework with a polished bevel.

Jazz I think you have a couple in your collection like this that appear to have a dive bezel but the digits from 4 through 8 face outward which would make them upside down if the bezel rotated.

So while I’m not into ‘fashion watches’ (would you buy RayBan shoes? Levi’s sunglasses?) the bigger issue for me is the non-functionality of the non-rotating bezel!

Alright, a few pictures to illustrate this point.
41 mm Marine Original with polished case looking huge on my 7.25 inch wrist and the stark white dial exacerbating the issue.

But I really love the design and how it looks on a croc strap. If only it looked like this Halios on the wrist.

For me, perfection.

I haven't had the itch for a new watch lately until I saw your Stowa. Very nice.

Lately, these two watches have me seriously considering selling off nearly all of the rest of my collection.

But no steel bracelet watch?

I know what you mean though. My G-Shock has me shunning all my sports watches lately to the point where I only use two different watches.

@Jazzmenco I ordered the 36mm version this week. Hopefully it resolves the reasons why I don't wear its 41 mm big brother.

There are a few other watches in my collection which I'd also keep, some of those are currently on bracelets. Maybe I'll put together a photo of 6 or 8 keepers and that might actually motivate me to move some of the others from my collection.

I actually also just ordered a bracelet that is supposed to fit nicely over the fixed bars of the CWC so I'll have that option with that one too.
