  • Thank you to Praesidus for giving me the opportunity to own this watch.
    If you are interested in this watch or just want to check out their website I'll leave a link below:

    Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
    I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
    I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
    The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
    Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
    Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress, Ashford.com and Jomashop.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    www.jomashop.com
    As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
    Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.

    Hi James, you might want to have a look at the Kingsbury MS4 Regiment field watch. Much better specs (NH38, 200 m WR) for a ridiculously low price of 189 USD. Very good looking too.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  11 місяців тому +3

      Oh wow. I had not seen that before. It looks amazing.
      I think I will have to get one.
      So thank you for telling me about it.
      However, my poor bank balance, does not thank you 😂😂😂😂

    You might like to have a look at Vertex watches, one of the original makers of the Dirty Dozen, and still a family owned British company to this day. Their M100 is their Dirty Dozen homage, but their MP45 single pusher Chrono looks very interesting too

    • @WATCHingJames

      I’m a big fan of their watches. Their recent M100 is amazing. But out of my price range at the moment.
      It is on my list however. 🤞they drop in price on the used market and I can grab a bargain.

    Praesidus should have used an NH38 (no date complication) instead of an NH35 (ghost date).

    I own the regular A-11 version of this watch. Thanks for the review.

    "A good, dependable SEIKO movement" at +10 to +15 seconds per day...too bad you can't count on that when you buy a SEIKO. Altogether a great video, James!

      It is a shame that Seiko don’t put a touch more effort into their watches.
      But I still love them.

    If this watch were hand wound instead of automatic, I'd buy it. Similarly, I also really like their other A11 model with a coin-edged bezel and hand-wound movement; unfortunately, that model, unlike this one, has a plexiglass crystal instead of sapphire - for me, that's a big drawback and means I won't buy it.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  11 місяців тому +1

      If it was hand wound I would like it even more
