Product Description

The Mondaine Gottardo 2016 timepiece is much more than meets the eye. Based on a heavy locomotive used by the Swiss Federal Railways—sometimes referred to as the “Kantonslokomotive”—it features a bezel punched directly from the exterior of the famous train Read More

Received mine today. Little hand rubs the dial... well no comment, just poor quality.It seems Mondaine liquidates its defective stocks overseas ?

Kane69 It seems to be intentional/intrinsic property of the bezel, from Mondaine's page: https://www.mondaine.com/watches/official-swiss-railways-watch/stop2go/a9500-30363-16sbg.html
"Precisely 2016 bezels have been punched from an original Ae 6/6 locomotive and meticulously mounted into the watch case. The visible marks make each timepiece this to 2016 units’ limited edition «Gottardo 2016» special and unique."
Had I not bought Stop2Go Backlight in the previous drop, having a piece of locomotive on the watch would definitely add to the coolness factor of the Stop2Go itself. Interesting that Massdrop does not advertise this watch is Stop2Go (as noted in comments below).
And another interesting thing is that of limited 2016 pieces, 300 is available on Massdrop... Not implying anything, just genuinely curious - I would think that with proper marketing, those 2016 limited units would sell out near MSRP very fast.

Your description misleading in terms of List Price and product details. Are you referring to this watch? https://de.mondaine.com/products/a658-30323-16got Nowhere near the $750 you claim and only 30 mm (not your claimed 41 mm). You should do much better Drop.com!

I'd also consider ponying up 99 samoleans

All too often now, Drop.com makes "errors" in their listing. Funny thing, the errors are always to their benefit. Listing a higher priced and more desirable watch and then the old "bait and switch" to a far worse value, less desirable version. Do they not have any editors or competent copywriters, etc., a the company?

I received mine earlier this week and am returning it today. The stop2go function on mine does not work properly and the second hand stops about two seconds early with every minute, essentially making a full round on the watch face every half hour or so. I'm sure this has nothing to do with Massdrop, but there isn't much that can be done about it without a manufacturers warranty.

I got mine last week and it does the same as yours. I’m reluctant to send it back as I really like it so is this something that can be repaired?

snowy151I really liked mine also so I contacted the Mondaine service center and Massdrop. Neither of them could do anything about it without the manufacturer's warranty so I ended up sending it back.

Just received mine 2 days ago. I really went back and forth between the Gottardo and waiting for the plain Stop2Go. The plain is truer to the actual station clocks, but in the end, the idea of having a little piece of history won out. Happy with the decision now that I have it, I think the faded green bezel looks quite good. I replaced the white strap with a dark red one, and that to me goes better with the green bezel and the red second hand.

Some tips, directed particularly to the Amazon review and the problems one reviewer had. The second hand on mine did not stop at 12:00 either, more like 10:00. The instructions tell you how to reset, but it doesn't work exactly as they describe. Push in on the crown until the second hand starts to move faster. It will stop at the spot where it currently pauses for 2 seconds. When I rotated the crown to advance the second hand to 12:00 and let the watch restart, it still didn't line up, it was around 11:00. I found I had to go past to maybe 12:02, then it was right on. Another one might be a little different, but since you are advancing the second hand in fractions of a second, if you have the patience you can get it dead nuts. The minute hand on mine was not exactly on a baton. The instructions are not completely clear that this can be adjusted. The crown is just an electrical switch, nothing mechanical about it - rotate it and hold it, and the minute hand moves pretty briskly. The electrical contact acts like a spring - if you just give it a small twist and let go, then the minute hand will move in fractions of a minute and you can get good alignment.

Like the look of the watch. But this BS with the inflated MSRP to make the normal price seem like a steal is borderline fraud. Coupled with all the info here that this is not in fact punched from a locomotive chassis has me thinking I am unsubscribing. Massdrop was fun and cool. Drop is just sleazy and gross. Bye. ps I actually don't care what material is used to make the face of the watch. It's the principle of being deceived.

Jesus, that some sloppy advertising. No sapphire. Bezel is not punched from locomotive. No stop2go... It's borderline fraud. Glad I read the comments.
