I bought my men's Mondaine Swiss Railway watch 2 years ago.  I first saw it in London at Harrods and was fascinated as I recognized it from the European Railway Station time pieces.  I knew I had to have it. I didn't buy it there because of the exchange rate and the VISA transaction charge so I bought it when I came home and it has served me very well.  I get so many compliments on it. It wears with any attire, from formal to casual.  I am sorry to hear that others have had problems and some are dissatisfied with its look.  I have never had a problem with it and hopefully I won't.
