Praesidus A-11 Type 44 - The Bonklip Bracelet Is So Good!

[@jwags24]

I know it's pricey, but I absolutely LOVE my 32mm. It's amazing how normal it looks on my wrist. And with the smaller size I seem to knock it around on things less than my other watches.

Jared, do you find that strap options are limited with the 16mm lugs? Do you find that the 13mm height on a 32mm watch is an issue with knocking it on things, or does it fit so neatly under you shirt sleeve that this problem is mitigated? I really appreciate the 32mm case size option. I wish it was a lot closer to 10mm in height. While the 16mm lugs are true to the original, I wish they would have gone to 18mm. IIRC. I think Waldan or Haveston may have strap options. CWC definitely has strap options.

@@ivermec-tin666 I agree with your feelings on 18mm. 16mm straps are not the easiest to find. I purchased mine on the bonklip initially, but had a difficult time finding other canvas straps. I ended up picking up a new old stock strap from the 1940s off of eBay. Slimmer would also be nicer, but because the size is so small it stays center wrist and I’ve never hit it on anything. It’s definitely easier to keep free of dings compared to other larger watches with the same thickness.

@@jwags24 I have a vintage wrist compass with fixed 16mm lugs. Haveston makes very nice single pass canvas straps in khaki colors. I intend to buy one of these for my wrist compass and a matching one for my Citizen Eco-Drive field watch, which has 18mm lugs. I have a Haveston single pass canvas strap with adjustable keeper on that watch currently. I have worn it ragged, finally. It is so comfortable on wrist that I have never considered any other option. Canvas is outstanding in hot weather.

Cool Bob!

Thanks Mark!

[@scottbeckett4190]

Another great review. Bit pricey don’t you think?

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

It's a little up there. Nice watch though. Thanks.

[@nicolofurlan2278]

I love the look and the history of the watch, but I think it´s not priced right. 200 $ less I would instanly buy it.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

It's definitely a little high. Seems like everything is lately. Thanks for watching.
