My "around the house beater" for the week. A cute (31mm) little Stowa Parat. 17j, anti-shock, central seconds, date@3, gold applied indices and hands, 16mm very worn strap.
This is the kind of watch that makes me grateful for my puny 6.25" left wrist. Although I *did* have to add a hole to the strap (almost 2 times the normal spacing) to make it fit. I can't imagine what this would look like on the wrist of someone who used the entire length of the strap!
I will say that the lack of any sort of quick-set (or even not-too-tedious-set) date is a bit of a pain. I'm also not a fan of the white date wheel under the dark dial.
All the pieces are a bit small, worn, and/or dated - but they all fit together to make a pleasing whole. And, the price was right. I think I like it.
