Up for sale is a Damasko DA36. I bought it on WUS from another member a week ago and I absolutely ADORE it, but I want a non-arabic one so I'm flipping this one to buy a DA35 or DA34. See below (after the pictures) for the specs taken form the intarwebz.
Paid $780 USD on WUS last week (=$1005 CAD) and asking a fair $800 CAD for an essentially new watch that only had its AR removed (retail is $1185 USD or $1530 CAD).
Specifications
- Watch case is, overall, in superb condition as you’d expect from a Damasko case with hardened steel. There is absolutely next to no sign of usage on the case (none that I could see with my eyes). The strap is barely used and has a lot of life left.
- The AR has been removed and there are still some light swirls on the crystal in the right light (you can't feel them with your nail or finger).
- You have to look at the vicinity of the reflection of a strong light on the crystal (like a LED flashlight or the sun) to otherwise see these swirls.
- Watch has been priced to account, in part, for buyer to purchase new crystal if they really want to. I personally found the swirls not to be a huge deal as they are visible only at certain angles in certain light and in 99.99% of times you're not even aware of them.
- Watch was worn maybe a total of 10 times or so.
- Some lights swirls on the case back, which are way more visible on the pictures than in reality as you almost can't see them when looking in person.
- Comes with all boxes and papers. Originally purchased from WatchMann.

- Price includes shipping in Canada only. US buyers welcome but must add $25 CAD for the difference in shipping costs.
- Please consider the pictures as part of the description (I tried to capture the light swirl marks but was unable to do so on camera). That's dust on the case.
- Any questions, please ask. I’ve done more than 40 deals over a decade +, on WUS as both a buyer and a seller, so please buy with confidence.
- No trades at this time, please.
