Breif overall impressions. Stunning looking watch that has great wrist presence. Lume is outstanding on the hands and markers, not so bright on the bezel which is fine with me. I cant speak to accuracy yet of course. Couple of glaring negatives though, bezel is sloppy and takes some work to align properly. What's up with Eddie and these straps?? Total garbage IMHO, after photo's I switched to a Carbonio. Here are some Q&D's............................    BTW I also have one of these coming tomorrow  Pic borrowed from Oscar:D |

Fantastic watch! I've liked the way this watch looked based on pictures I've seen before, but your pics make me absolutely LOVE it! Bummer about the strap quality, 'cause it looks good on that watch... Congrats Tony! |

While it is comforatble, it is too thin (the case is much "taller" than the MKII), and the stupid angle cut end makes it difficult to feed thru the buckle. The bezel insert is great, but it is not ceramic...it is acrylic...and hard to turn with the polished, "non-knurled" outer edge. My bezel is not sloppy at all and does align precisely. My initial though on purchasing this was to flip the Stingray 50, but now, I have my doubts...the Precista feels a little more "casual dres looking fo a nice leather strap" whereas the MKII Stingray feels more functional and utilitarian. Since I haven't taken any PRS-50 pictures yet, let me repost a couple of Tony's here followed by pics of the Stingray for comparison.    |

I think they will both be cult classics down the road and I will add a Stingray again one day. Congrats on your 50 |

My earlier reply may have gone into the deep abyss. Beautiful watch Tony. Where does one but a new Presista? |
