Just in... and just out...

A brief wrist stop for this very nice gen Mondaine before gifting it to one of my sons. I like it so much, I need to pick up another to keep...

I'm not sure what you're doing in this picture, but I'm 90% sure you shouldn't be doing it in a public place.

LMFAO maybe if I had my hand by my knee. I just had my hand in my pocket and thought it was a cool shot but leave it to RWI to turn an innocent picture into something perverse.

It looks like great quality..red on dial and second hand perfectly balanced in this pictture...is this with mechanical ETA movement or the unspeakable quartz?

Thanks... It's a solid-feeling watch and comes with a nice leather strap. Given my intended end recipient, this one ticks with the Swiss Ronda quartz. However, I would probably get the same version unless/until Mondaine makes a Stop-2-Go model w/ a sweeping second hand - which would truly emulate the unique movement of the Swiss railway clocks they pay tribute to. Since the railway clocks pause and then jump each minute, to me the smooth Mondaine autos just lack the same character.
