Mr Jones Watches The Silent ThiefvsSpinnaker Dumas Automatic

Mr Jones Watches The Silent Thief is widely praised for its unconventional and artistic design, featuring detailed artwork and a unique magpie's eye seconds indicator. Owners appreciate the automatic STP or Sellita SW200 movement and the surprisingly good build quality for the price. The 45mm case is generally considered well-proportioned, with normal lugs addressing prior concerns about length, although some still find the 53mm lug-to-lug measurement substantial or the 45mm size too large overall. Legibility is noted as not the highest, and lume is absent on the indices. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches The Silent Thief highly for its superb, unconventional design and good value.

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic for its attractive textured blue dial, applied indices, and well-finished case, noting its comfortable wearability due to a short lug-to-lug distance. Some owners flag the use of mineral crystal instead of sapphire and a bracelet with a learning curve and loose keeper. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic highly for its aesthetics and case finishing at its price point.
