Who should buy which.
The T017 36mm Vintage Cushion Quartz (Burgundy Red): A buyer with a smaller wrist who wants a vintage-style watch with a bold colour at a very low price. Choose an automatic if you want a mechanical movement, or a larger watch if you prefer more wrist presence.
The T016 34mm PT5000 Round-and-Square Mechanical Watch: A buyer with a smaller wrist who wants a thin vintage-style automatic. Choose a larger watch if you prefer 38 mm and above, or a diver if you need real water resistance.
Before you order.
THORN’s listing describes it as a quartz VD78; it does not publish a lug-to-lug span. The 18 mm strap is narrower than most.
At 50 m of water resistance it is for everyday wear only, and 34 mm is small for some wrists. THORN says its warranty covers non-human damage.
