Just arrived today, DEFAKTO EINS Steelcase. I've wanted a single handed watch for awhile now, with a minimal looking dial and not too many markings for the minutes. Ummm, I think this totally meets my requirements. Now when people ask the time, and if I tell them it's "half past", or "quarter to", I really mean it and not just because I am rounding off the time to the nearest 15min. interval. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Interesting watch, nice bold design! But that poor ETA movement must be sad to have to move only one hand... |

Thanks guys. It's always good to know that at least fellow WIS may understand the watch choices we make :D Some of my friends are totally interested and find the watch nice in it's somewhat sparse way. While others just have a blank stare on their face, thinking "just the hour hand? Why?" DM71, I agree with your remark about the ETA probably feeling sad when I had the crown out in the first position, and could hear/feel the date adjustments but nothing to show for it. |

That is a very good looking clean faced watch.hand6.gif Don't think I could wear one though, I get withdrawal symptoms if my watch is missing a second hand. |

GReat watch. Clean looks and unique one hander! What's not to like;) too many watches have an incredibly busy dial these days. I get tired of them, kinda why I like the Benarus diver too. Clean and simple dial. Enjoy tHe watch. hand6.gif |

Hi Jeep99dad, no problem with asking the $. I got straight from Defakto (Pforzheim, Germany). Costed 345euros, 375euros in total after shipping. But I also got hit with duty and taxes into Canada. Also, waiting on Fedex to mail me their brokerage fees I still owe. Watchismo actually carries this, don't know if that may be a better route for you if you are looking for one of these? - no duty charges at least. The movement they use is an ETA 2824-2 hand6.gif Last edited on Sat Sep 5th, 2009 10:43 pm by rvs1111 |
