I wish they made that dial in 37 or 38mm

I have the gold tone, rootbeer dialed one. It wears lovely.

Mine is the SRPE19J1. Same dial, but stainless steel bracelet.

Nice to see a dress-style with larger case. I can't wear anything less than a 40mm - it looks ridiculous on my wrists at 225mm circ (so do some 40 if they're short lug-to-lug) so this is much appreciated!

I've got the mockingbird version (Green dial) 🙌🏻😍

[Akklipz]

Everything about this watch is amazing other than the fact you can’t get this in sapphire crystal…

[nickhayes]

I have the Irish coffee, it really is lovely.

[RalfG]

nice watch but you should have said the negative points too. the timekeeping arround 25-30seconds a day is on the lower side

I have the solar battery and my watch has not given me any problem since I bought it for 🎄🎄🎄 2017.

I was about to go to the store and buy one, when you saw they made a GMT version… now I’m torn - I love GMTs, but it’s not a real GMT (which is ok for the price), so…🤷🏻‍♂️

I think 40.5mm is big for dress watch😢

[ccooper]

Why they feel the need to make it so big and to stick an unattractive date window on a dress watch is beyond me.

[mrsoisauce]

Only downside: it’s massive. A smaller 38 mm version should be made

I can get a thermocompensated quartz Certina for… it depends. They’re sort of expensive at list prices. Jomashop has some older models on the cheap sometimes if you’re in the USA.

Suppose you wear a dress watch only occasionally. If it’s mechanical, you either keep it on a winder or let it run down, then get it going again and reset the time. With a quartz watch, it’s still going unless you need to change the battery, and the time may still be almost right.

A watch with photovoltaic cells under a translucent dial will certainly keep running if you keep it on a windowsill. If it can listen to a longwave station providing time signals, it will probably be correct to within a couple of seconds even after years.

But I’m seriously lazy.
