I have considered Mondaine and probably will take another look at that brand before I pull the trigger on the Defakto. I'm kind of smitten with the Defakto Akkord so I don't think I'll change my mind. I only wish I could see it in person before I made the purchase oh well lol.

This Quartz Version caught my fancy at 50% off, but they do sell some NH35 Automatics too, not as good specs as the watch your looking at obviously but nice styling

The Defakto reminds me of my pilots watch without the numbers and funny shaped minute hand.

Thats a nice deal you got on that watch, Specs are only what you make of them.

What is your budget and your wrist size? These are the two most important things to start with.

My budget is $800 and wrist size is 8 inches.
