... cool looking moon phase disc, for sure. Good looking watch I reckon.

Iโ€™ve always wanted to add a sector dial and a moonphase to my collection. This offers both๐Ÿ˜

Only if they were smaller, like 36 or 38๐Ÿ˜…

Oh man only if it didn't have that "moon face"

You should get it on wrist.

39.5 X 46mm - so the lug to lug isn't huge.

As a comparison the Longines Heritage Sector is 38.5mm X 47.6mm so I would say they both wear to a similar size.

This was a fascinating post:

(The watch on the left is 1mm wider and 0.5mm longer).

I really like this design. Even the moon 'face' is cute. If only it didn't have the damnable ETA 2824 derivative. That's a deal killer for me. Shame.

Yeah, I reckon ETA / Sellita mov'ts get a bit of a bad wrap, particularly the less ubiquitous, non p/matic 80 variants like the SW261 in this watch.

They're nothing special but are appropriate for what isn't a particularly expensive watch. A different movement would mean a different price point and a different price point would probably shift ones focus to another more celebrated brand, at least imo.
