Mr Jones Watches The Silent ThiefvsSeiko Presage Style60's

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.

The Seiko Presage Style60's collection is praised for its charming vintage aesthetic, with reviewers highlighting the box-shaped crystals, faceted indexes, and applied details. The smaller 39.5mm case size of the SRPL07 and SRPL09 models is noted as particularly comfortable, alongside a new bracelet. Prices range from €490 to €670, with the 4R35 and 4R34 movements offering a 41-hour power reserve. However, the claimed accuracy of +45/-35 seconds per day for the 4R35 movement is flagged as a potential drawback for some. The fixed 60-minute bezel is described as a stylistic element rather than a functional one.
