Recently got this preowned RLT 13 one hander, made by Roy Taylor in England. It's got an ETA 2824 under the hood.
This older version, with white dial and date, is no longer available (except by request)-- the newer version has a silver dial and no date. The case is 40mm, and wears big. To me the shape is reminiscent of an Omega.
By the way, the time in the pictures is 1:34 PM-- one handers take a bit of getting used to! :D

I guess it depends on the individual. I adapt fairly quickly to one hand and 24 hour dials. But one hand dials and 24 hour dials share a similar quality-- since the hand(s) seem to move so slowly around the dial, the work day seem to drag on forever! :D
