Just received this Rodania Q373 and it’s running quite nicely. Has a 6 jewel Harley Ronda 373 movement, a rarity this highly jewelled as I am finding out. I am not fond of gold cases, but I do like the subtlety of this coloration. Case measures in at 31.4mm- right in the comfort zone.

Thank you, John... it will help me get by until my watchmaker can fix this one.

Choo-Choo!! Nice one. Now you need a model railroad set to keep on schedule.

Now that's a very cool piece Marcel! It'll be great for all those "smart business casual" days

They are notorious for leaking.

I regret to inform that the watch fell from my wrist today due to a deterirated strap... it drowned as I was washing the dishes. I will need to hunt down another movement for it- or at least the donour parts.

I will need to hunt down another movement for it- or at least the donour parts. That sux. Finding another movement shouldn't be too difficult as it's not a rare one in spite of being discontinued. Even so it's still a PITA to clean up and and will cost money to replace it. Hopefully dial, hands, etc. are OK.

I think the water did more to movement than the aesthetics. No outward sign of damage. I will be ordering new movements to donate the coil and board that are replaceable in the watch. I want to retain the 6 jewel drivetrain.
