The short answer
The closest alternative to the Mr Jones Watches Fantastic Exploits is the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Bison 96A333 ($750) — common cross-shop and Playful dial. If price is the constraint, the Timex x Todd Snyder Marlin Hand-Wound 1969 Color Flicks Reissue at $199 (vs $545 for the Fantastic Exploits) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lucky Harvey Dragon is the standout microbrand take — playful dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary ($1,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
