You may remember a while back I sold my yellow Breitling Avenger. Well, with the proceeds I bought an Omega Seamaster Pro (shown on other threads) and this: a lovely Precista PRS20

First impressions are very good. It's well put together and feels great on the wrist:







Today I have also received this little beauty, a vintage Smiths. I really love the hands on this as well as the super-aged lume







Completely different ends of the spectrum in terms of size (PRS20 = 48.5mm v Smiths 32mm), but really loving them both equally

Smiths Enfield were a very well known make I have a clock made by them that is from the 50's. Never seen a Smiths watch to be honest as I have not really looked and always associated them with clocks.
Very nice that has to be a keeper.

Very nice! The Precista is classic and I love how the lume on the Smiths has aged and has a lovely patina. Enjoy!ThumbsUp02.gif

You're just dating yourself Ken, the kids have to go get schooled on the Smiths!

and the Precista is pretty sharp too!
