Something Diffrent From the Norm

[Gigi]

I just got this shipped from HK today.

Praesto Modern Fligeruhr





It is 44 mm watch powered by citizen miyota movement which is hand wind-able

Comparison with other watches

Seiko 5 Military watch (42mm)


Fortis Fliger Chronograph (40mm)


This watch uses the buckle & hole ala Panerai style




-How it does wear on my wrist?
It is not good as i had to wear it way back on my wrist (futher in than my seiko) as the maximum provided hole were still leave a wide gap on my skinny wrist . Currently trying to find someone who are able to punch Panerai style extra hole so that i can wear it and will fit comfortably on my wrist. Any help would be useful.

-Overall Comment?
I find it a nice watch apart from the weak lume (compared to seiko 5 lumibrite) & like the title it is something different from the norm.

Hope you guys enjoy reading this... Will try to make a review as i am busy these day 


Ignore that panerai thing cause i cannot remove the attachtment thinggy 

EDIT 28 Feb: My wrist shot photo after change to a RM49 strap..

I have come across this piece on the web. This is from new internet watch brand. Interesting interpretation of a flieger watch. But a little too funky for my taste. Would love to see some more detail pics or wrist shots. Good catch nonetheless!

On your strap dilemma, suggest you buy a new strap that fits your wrist. And keep the original one for if/when you decide to sell the watch in the future. And you might not want to risk having the additional holes done badly.

I have a small wrist myself and I will usually buy new straps if the original is too long. Strap hunting also adds to the fun!

Saw a review and video review of this watch on another blog, the blue dial is really nice too.
I find it kinda strange that its a US brand?
But designed by American and made in China shipped frm HK?

Oh yeah and i agree on the new strap idea, its really fun shopping for straps haha.

No it is a Hong Kong watch OEM manufaturer who decide to make a watch themselves. It is design by some 1 (in this case Russ) from US after winning a design competition on praesto own forum to decide which watch design to be used (design of watch i design by normal ppl like you and me). The end result is the watch as u can see in my picture. So it is basically design by someone from US, Movement from Citizen Miyota and Assembled in Hong Kong

Regarding the strap it is a 24mm strap. i am not sure if one of the strap is stiched on to the keeper (haven confirm yet)  if so how to take out wor??. So mind to tell which place to do strap shopping in Malaysia? How much usually each cost?

Hi peter, here are the pciture...




You can see how skinny the Rm49 strap compared to the original praesto watch ignore the imprefection on the 1st pic as it already come with the watch...
