I like Praesidus for both their watch designs and their conduct. The warranty dog tag is a neat touch! You know, I don't know if its because I am getting older or something but lately I too have an appreciation for simple, functional things. I like the dial layout and color choice. Its not cluttered and its easy to read at a glance. Sapphire might not scratch as easily but a friend of mine flew in the back of an aircraft and he bumped his watch with sapphire against the exposed airframe and it was cracked. I don't think that would have happened with both mineral and acrylic. That being said most people wont be in the back of a C130 so sapphire might be preferable for day to day activities. All the best to you my friend. Safe travels and may God bless and keep you wherever you go and with whatever you do!
That's a good point about sapphire, I too have cracked one or two sapphire crystals in the past. I did break a mineral one too though 😅 Thank you for watching Johan, and like always, thank you for your kind words and support 🙏🏻
That was a really good review Aviv. This is a watch I doubt I would have looked twice at before your video. You really captured the beauty of the dial. Personally, I might miss having a running second hand and I don’t love the caseback but that’s a minor thing. I wonder what the hardness level of the k1 crystal is? I don’t have experience with those. Great photography and solid review my friend. 👍👍
Thank you very much for the kind words Eric! I'm glad I could put this watch on your radar! K1 crystals are supposed to be very resistant to scratches, but not as much as sapphire.
I can see why you liked it enough to buy it 👍 . My only gripe is the 24 hour sub-dial, I know it comes with that movement, but it still is pointless. By the way, my daughter scratched the domed hardlex on her Presage and I managed to polish it out completely using abrasive paper+diamond paste and then cerium oxide to finish, it wasn't quick, but it gave a great finish without using any power tools.
A great looking watch. I'm with you on the fact that I much prefer watches with more busy, interesting dials. Plain dials I just find a little too boring. But, as you probably know, I'm not a quartz fan, but definitely a decent effort. Top review, as ever 👌
Hello there,can I ask a question,I have a gshock watch chari&co GA500K-3A AND THE STRAP IS BROKEN I WANT TO REPLACE IT BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT ONLINE,WHAT IS THE COMPATIBLE STRAP TO REPLACE MY OLD STRAP TO MY WATCH,THANKS
Would have preferred the sub-dials more centric to the centre which would have allowed the same font numbers size as for the 12 and 6. Just my preference. Nice video thanks.
That's a beautiful looking watch. It does have some military aesthetics to it without looking too sparse. Does anyone know whether a sapphire coated crystal is a real thing providing extra protection against scratches? K1 mineral with sapphire coating sounds like a lot of effort, why not use a sapphire crystal instead? One more niggle from my perspectiv e, I'm not a massive fan of this particular movement due to its lack of a running second.

Thanks … interesting range from Praet … might but one - the 45 probably

Very cool. Thanks for the great review! I know not everyone does, but I like that clip style bracelet.
I love this type of bracelet. It looks great and is very comfortable.
Thanks for watching!

I enjoyed your review.
However, I already got the revived Newmark 6BB which was one of the original Fab4 brands.
I love your business ♥♥
Nice but don’t like the black hands against the black dial 😢
The hands aren't actually black, they're highly polished silver. They look black because of the reflections from the studio...
do this compared to the berny chrono
What model is that?
אתה יכול לעשות סקירה על בל קאנטו סי1?
יש לך אחד לתת לי לסקירה? 😁
אמור להגיע אליי עוד 8 חודשים(!) ההמתנה לזה היא נצחח אבל שווה את זה@@MyAffordableWatchCollection
no running seconds huh?
Nope
