What time is it? Watches and horology

LC

Last Christmas I bought my mum a chaps watch - this was because she was having trouble seeing her old watch. She had cataract surgery and can now see significantly more than she could - and now would like a smaller watch.

Her requirements are a white dial, "nice and clear face" and 2-3cm diameter.

What can people suggest?

I'd suggest a Mondaine

Boom, purchased, will be delivered to my parents house.

Cheers!

I'd take the casio on nato if you can post? Can contribute to you/forum for costs.

Hats off to Timex fo ripping the classics off. Liek a Tesla of time. 😎

Easily the best £300 that I have spent on a watch.

That looks quality...

The stand out feature is how thin it is.

Looks pretty minty - added that to saved searches on ebay

Hard to capture thinness

Buy some tesco wafer thin ham. How many slices is it?

Bracelet and case look really quality

This looks really good. Adding an eterna to my list! The only thing that bugs me is the name. Sounds almost like a jewelery store own brand eg. Sekonda. Easy to get over tho!

Edit: just browsed site quickly. Now want a kontiki and a super kontiki.

It was Eterna who formed ETA (possibly just short for Eterna).

Hmm, interesting. So high quality without brand tax? Sounds good to me.

I couldn't decide between a super kontiki and a baby ploprof for ages.

I know what you mean. I didn't think much of them until I learned about their heritage.

Fun fact, the Eterna logo represents five ball bearings. They invented the bearing mounted rotor.

hehe. good.

Still waiting. Kinda hungry.

I do like my Eterna as well.

MWC watches ?? Any one got an opinion on them, place here selling them and I like that military style but I'm a watch novice, are they style over substance or worth the money??

My view is no. I bought one a few months back at a big discount and it wasn't even worth the discounted price let alone full price. Too pricey for the movement inside and bezel was loose and general finish was less than ideal.
