Up for sale is my Damasko DA45, a solid German tool watch at a reasonable price. 40mm ice hardened case, finished with black abrasion proof Damest coating. ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, with day date function (English and German days). Full lume dial, and bidirectional bezel. On original leather strap with Damasko clasp. This is watch only, without box or papers, as I received it from the prior owner.

Price
Asking $1350, shipped and fully insured. A new one runs about $2250 CAD landed, after duty and taxes.

Condition
Crystal is flawless, and hardened case is also in excellent condition with no obvious blemishes I can make out with the naked eye. There are a couple of tiny marks on the bezel around the 45-marker, that you can see in the photos, but weren't noticeable to me on the wrist. One notable desk diver scratch in the clasp, as pictured. Otherwise very clean. Bezel movement is solid.

After helpful comment from a fellow member, it has been realized that in addition to the mentioned bezel blemish near the 45, the inside edge of the bezel is also marked up a bit near the pip, as most clearly seen in the straight-on dial closeup of the fourth photo. My naked eye can't make it out on the wrist, but want to ensure accuracy and full disclosure.
