I’ve been switching back and forth between these two this week. The Smiths is particularly beautiful in the sunlight.

Trip to Napa yesterday. A little over budget but not rich enough for the "other thread" What's a guy going to do?

Not today's watch, but as much as I love it, I'm thinking of selling this guy. Having trouble selling my other Presage, but I guess it's a sign that I should keep that one.

Just curious.....those watches are so similar. What was your rationale when purchasing the 2nd one(whichever that one was)?

How's the quality?

How's the quality?

Very good for the price I'd say, bezel action is excellent. Some I find to be a bit sloppy or too firm this has just the right amount of firmness while being easy to rotate, no back play and lines up nicely. Brushing on the case is good, the crown is large and easy to grip with a satisfying pop. A nice tool watch, substantial like a Deep Blue but better quality and packaging.

I haven't installed the bracelet but it's milled with screw links and seems like it will complement it well. I'll change it over when it gets into summer. Don't want sweat stains on the canvas or nato it came with.
