Mr Jones Watches The Silent ThiefvsVario 1918 Medic Brass

Mr Jones Watches The Silent Thief is widely praised for its unconventional and artistic design, featuring detailed artwork and a unique magpie's eye seconds indicator. Owners appreciate the automatic STP or Sellita SW200 movement and the surprisingly good build quality for the price. The 45mm case is generally considered well-proportioned, with normal lugs addressing prior concerns about length, although some still find the 53mm lug-to-lug measurement substantial or the 45mm size too large overall. Legibility is noted as not the highest, and lume is absent on the indices. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches The Silent Thief highly for its superb, unconventional design and good value.

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
