Brillier Mono Mechanical Blue Dial Automatic with Moon Phase and Big Date

Owners praise the Brillier Mono Mechanical Blue Dial Automatic Watch with Moon Phase and Big Date for its clean, symmetrical blue dial with legible indices and a navy blue pointer date. One owner found it a good value for a Swiss-made automatic moonphase around $600 on the gray market. However, one owner reported the metal bracelet and included leather strap felt cheap and of poor quality, noting the absence of adjustment tools and a manual. On balance, owners rate the Brillier Mono Mechanical Blue Dial Automatic Watch with Moon Phase and Big Date highly for its attractive dial and value proposition as a Swiss-made automatic moonphase.
