Mayu vs Sixties
I finally decided t
- Type: Time only
- Size: 38 - 40 mm
- Thickness - 8-10 mm
- Manual or automatic
I usually buy manual winding watches but I wanted to be flexible with my potential new acquisition and I therefore selected what was for me the best manual winding and the best automatic for a predetermined budget and I came up with these two:
And now I am stuck as I love both watches. I know that both manufactories have very different philosophies and the watches generate different 'aura' .... Please advise and any comments will be welcomed. Is there any watch within the same budget and the same criteria which I missed out?
Cheers, Damo

Mayu vs Sixties
I finally decided t o buy my first rose gold watch. My choice is based on the following criteria: - Type: Time only - Size: 38 - 40 mm - Thickness - 8-10 mm - Manual or automatic I usually buy manual winding watches but I wanted to be flexible with my pot...
Difficult choice
Both are great watches and I wouldn't want to have to choose, but from a personal standpoint I would take the Sixties. I prefer the dial of this watch. Best regards, George
Equally beautiful...
.. in their own ways... But if you haven't got any German watches yet, you should pick the one with Glashutte DNA I'm obviously biased.
German..
I already ave a German watch, Dornbluth 99.1, and I don't mind having a second one
Both are attractive, but I ended up with....
... Mayu because of small differences - (1) size, and (2) manual winding. FYI, Moser is in Schaffhausen, close to IWC, which is ALMOST in Germany, and you will feel the German style a bit, too. Either way, you will not go wrong. Enjoy deciding - that is h...
Fun of chosing..
It is true that it is a lot of fun chosing a watch, but I live in Mauritius and it is very difficult for me to choose a watch. Only when I travel ... and even then I am usually very tight on timing This message has been edited by Damo on 2011-01-17 02:54:...
Both are super attractive.
I have more in-person experience with the Mayu, because my co-worker (and fellow Purist, CaliforniaJed) has one. I love the Sixties, but for me the Mayu wins for its clean style and beautiful wrist presence. Of course, I prefer the watch in palladium. Che...
I like the Sixties but in this tie, I'd go with the Mayu
whihc has cleaner, more sophisticated lines if that is what you are after. The Sixties for me is more casual which is not wrong.
in the context of RG watch
in respect to the standerds you sat my vote would go to the Sixties ... against my own expectations this opinion i have to admit but again i say the given in here is diferent . Best wishes for the purchase whatever choice you will take . Faisal
Mayu for me ....
... because of its dial and hands. The GO is a re-edition of an older watch, rather from the early Seventies than the Sixties. Its major asset is the highly domed sapphire on front and back, permitting to see the venerable cal. 39 movement from the side. ...
Sixties, please...
... actually dials of these watches are quite different, i.e. Mayu has sub-dial second... comparing these two watches, Sixties has much clean and simple layout. but if you use Monard and compare it against Sixties which both have similar dail... then, the...
Both are nice choices....
I would opt for the GO, preferring the case design and overall proportions. IMO, the Mayu has a more contemporary look. It also feels noticeably larger and thicker on the wrist, so it really depends on what you prefer. Either way, they are both great choi...
Both are great watches with great design
as you can see from all the responses above. You can't go wrong with either choice. The best thing is to go to a local dealer(s) and try on a GO and Moser on the wrist. Then you'll know which one you'll like better. If you don't have any local dealers nea...
Damo, I like them both.
I prefer the Moser, but would be proud to wear either. Best, CaliforniaJed...
Sixites in steel
All, thank you for your responses. It seems that that I should buy the Sixties in SS and then the Mayu )
Mayu for me
Why? Becoz the movement is better finished, IMHO. The overall watch is better finished....look at the hands. The GO has a cal 39(?) which can be had in cheaper SS versions, and philosophically more aligned. The GO has the dome glass, which is it's saving ...
Yes, not many pre-loved pieces
And definitely a good sign. Let me check if I can locate any. If I can, I will pm you Best, Horo

I absolutely love the brand. I have the Moser One pert calendar and I am very happy with my purchase. Best, Horo
