Anyone know if the Tonda PF has micro adjustment on the bracelet?

Am torn between this 36mm and the Czapek Antartique 38.5mm.

Plus there's also the VC Overseas silver dial. I know it's a bigger size. But these are the three contenders for me right now.

Negative. Links are small though so I had no issues with fit. Similar to Rolex oyster half links.

PF Bracelet very comfortable so I wear mine a bit loose which is perfectly fine then it goes to perfect when I vasodilate in the heat!!
Those 3 are really different watch styles. Czapek orders closed until 2023 and already 1-2 year wait. VC difficult to source - even for the silver dial. I think you need to try them all on in person. You'll love the PF - really classy brand right now!!

Micro-adjust on my Antarctique is really nice. Two fine points of adjustment. I have mine set to be just loose enough to slide on my wrist a bit when I'm inside, and that leaves plenty of leeway to accommodate wrist swelling on a hot day. I can't speak to the other watches you mentioned from experience, but all 3 are really great options and I'd be happy with any of them in my collection.

I can tell you the PF is significantly slimmer than the others having owned the micro rotor and also the VCO silver. It does have a heft to it though from the pt bezel and rotor presumably. It’s the only one of the three I’d consider ultra thin.

The VC has a seriously good quick change bracelet that I enjoyed and the czapek is new and has a very attractive avant- garde movement.

Good luck deciding!

Thanks everyone for the advice.

Those 3 are on my current hit list. But can only get one of them. Tough choice.

Agree that Czapek has order book closed till APril 2023, but from what I've heard, will still be more accessible than VCO.

Parmigiani much sooner to acquire. I do like the different straps of the Czapek and VCO.

Have also got a Ulysses Nardin Freak X popped up on my radar. All 4 in the same region of cost.
