Fantastic watch!  I've liked the way this watch looked based on pictures I've seen before, but your pics make me absolutely LOVE it!  Bummer about the strap quality, 'cause it looks good on that watch...

Congrats Tony! ThumbsUp02.gif

Maybe you could fit the watch into a vice and pinch the lugs a little toon1.gif
I kid, I kid

Its a sweet watch

What is cooler looking in person, stingray or 50?
Which has more wrist presence?  stingray or 50

glad your feeling content again.




Hucky,

They both have there own personalities. Both have great/similar wrist presence. The 50 bezel being ceramic is cool and I think the watch is a little thicker. I wouldn't have a problem owning both:D




Mine just came in, and Tony is right...THE STRAP IS CRAP!  While it is comforatble, it is too thin (the case is much "taller" than the MKII), and the stupid angle cut end makes it difficult to feed thru the buckle.

The bezel insert is great, but it is not ceramic...it is acrylic...and hard to turn with the polished, "non-knurled" outer edge.  My bezel is not sloppy at all and does align precisely.   My initial though on purchasing this was to flip the Stingray 50, but now, I have my doubts...the Precista feels a little more "casual dres looking fo a nice leather strap" whereas the MKII Stingray feels more functional and utilitarian.

Since I haven't taken any PRS-50 pictures yet, let me repost a couple of Tony's here followed by pics of the Stingray for comparison.

Ken, I would hang on to the Stingray also my friend, Like you said they are similar, yet different enough to own both. I think they will both be cult classics down the road and I will add a Stingray again one day.

Congrats on your 50ThumbsUp02.gif

My earlier reply may have gone into the deep abyss.

Beautiful watch Tony.  Where does one but a new Presista?

Now that is a beautiful watch!  Seeing these pictures has just made me put this on my must have list.  Thanks for the inspiration!
