@@praesidus4713 I was considering buying this this watch, but if you don't properly communicate regularly with the customers, just shows the lack of quality customer service and will take my business elsewhere.....

[@jcm9698]

@The Truth just looked at their website, they are out of NY, can't expect much out of them!!!

[@frankbanner2632]

@The Truth did you get a reply back from them? How about your money? They are a first rate scam from my experience.

[@xblackdog]

Well, two years later your video convinced me to pick up a 38mm version! I have been wearing a Marathon GPQ (older, plastic bezel version), and wanted something that had the same feeling, but more traditional. Been on the fence for the A-11 for a couple months, and your video really helped cement the decision.Really looking forward to my A-11 arriving!

[@DCdrumz59]

This US Army Veteran just recently acquired the Praesidus A-11 Tom Rice 42mm. I wear the watch on a leather cuff band. Cuff bands give a vintage vibe and functional look. This A-11 is a robust time piece!! Great watch!!! HOO-AAH!!!!!!

[@Mike-kr9ys]

I just got mine yesterday. It is on my wrist as I type this. I love this watch! This is just like the watch I got as a hand-me-down from my father as a wee tyke, oh those many years ago. This is the BEST ever field watch, with no reservations. Well, the strap is a tad overbuilt for everyday use, but if I were jumping out of an airplane to fight the enemies of my country, this is the strap I would prefer. I put it on a simple leather strap for my more mundane civilian use. If you do not have one of these yet, and if you like field watches - THIS is the one to get. I recommend it without reservation.

[@andyfrakes2623]

Sterile dial, great lume, AND my ideal intersection of 38mm case + 20mm lug width. Also a huge fan of that case back design, with or without engraving. What an awesome package for under $200 - I'm seriously considering this rather than the Bulova A-15 I've been eyeing for months!

[@k1dkarma]

Love that you bring us some less known watch option...keep it up!

[@jses612]

I have had mine for about two weeks. Picked up the 38M with a brushed case. So far a great watch. The top of the crown on mine was jeweled. Nice touch! Recommend highly. However, I think there is a waiting list. Not surprised.

[@edteach3r]

Great looking watch with an interesting legacy. I just checked out their website and they support a number of charities. All of this for under $200... outstanding! With Christmas approaching, I am definitely going to check this out. Thanks for the review!

[@halfpastblog]

As a military watch guy I really like this. Thanks for showing it off. 👍

[@edwardgreenaway1808]

The 38mm would be my choice. I'd even like it in the 34mm but 36mm is a favorite for that stile watch. At least for me.

[@markreinoso1129]

This watch looks pretty cool and is tied to some really cool history

[@stevewoolmer2345]

Nice review and story behind it.

[@mikemiller2428]

Looks like the original A11s, would love to get a hold of the 38mm version for myself. Tom Rice's story is an added bonus, or should I say, the best feature to be honest. Great video!

[@rockthewatch]

Very cool military watch. Great review brotha 🤘🏻

[@manusverzoni2384]

I'm a sucker for military watches. With sterile dials I'd go for a 38mm. With a 42mm you get the feeling that something's missing, like a logo. Thanks for the review.

[@tufelhunden5795]

Just curious how this watch has held up. As a Marine in the 1St Civ Div I've been looking at field watches to go with the G shock DW5600 I replaced my 5000 with I used in the Corps.

[@ZoSo828]

Excellent watch review. I was unaware such a watch and brand existed. I really love the design and history of this watch. I definitely want to purchase one. How do you find the watch after several months of usage?

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Nice watch good story great that they donate to the veterans , good review 👍

[@camarocarl7130]

Nice, watching this makes me want the real thing from Bulova though.

[@shahbros3753]

Nice Chris 👍

[@atlacatl7501]

I just received my 38mm version. Love the watch, looks well made, the strap is very nice but unfortunately a little long. I'm wearing it on the last hole but I also have 6.5" wrists. Great value overall and a great review. I would recommend, especially the 38mm size.

[@jcm9698]

Damn! That is one hell of a watch for $200, and it has a really cool history to boot.

[@WatchChris]

Yea it's a great price and looks great too

[@michieldenhaerynck6700]

@@WatchChris I just saw their Black Friday deal... Makes the price even better!

[@thxdldu]

Love that watch. 38mm would be best on my skinny wrist.

[@toddjohnson5506]

The 38mm cream dial on the Pradesidus site looks like the Bulova Hack.

[@WatchChris]

Yea it's essentially the watch it's based on the a-11 and the Bulova hack were very similar

[@OSUCherokee1]

I ordered one for me and my wife as we are both military. The website says it should have the hack, but I can’t seem to get it to do the sweeping motion,

[@Yoko.Kurama]

Can you manually wind this or do you have to rely on watch movement?

[@mystic48209]

I like the watch. And the m8vement isca good one. Seiko nh35. Talking to praesidus, they mentioned they will introduce a swiss quartz and more import antly a swiss automatic movement...a soprod, for its next two variants. The agony. Get the Seiko NH35 powered A11 or the Soprod powered one. Either way you can't lose.

[@logannguyen1343]

How would you guys compare this to the Bulova Hack?

[@dereknguyen4749]

Quick question! When you bought the watch, how long did shipping take for you?

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

I love this watch. I’d order one but all the strap choices are too small for larger wrists. Pity.

[@whereandbackagain7059]

straps are cheap and easy to replace if you really like the watch :)

[@RedrooAU]

Yes would love to buy one where do I get it from...I am in Sydney Australia

[@dubiago8440]

Anyone know if this is a hacking watch movement (e.g., do the second hands stop when the crown is pulled out)?

[@WatchChris]

Yes it is

[@mylesgalos6465]

How water resistant they were? No indication

[@markedfortime]

Amazing watch and history. I guess I'm soft on history. Regardless, you've hit my soft spot and I think I might pick one of these up. As always, thanks for the videos!

[@winstonsmiththx1138]

Baa baa

[@vinbol3]

I really like the looks of that watch. They should sell an upgraded version with a better movement and sapphire crystal.

[@clontstable1]

Seiko movements are no slackers, however!

[@shanechew1460]

May I know what is your wrist size please?

[@colt-ss3lw]

Mine, a A-11 Praesidus watch loses 1 minute every day. I wind it 55+ times a day and put it on an automatic watch winder. Junk that looks good, but unreliable.
