Is that a 721?

In going to guess at a Precista PRS20.

Edit - the PRS20 doesn't come in a box...

Deserved a clearer pic...

Looks fantastic with the roman numeral bezel. Loving mine.

I'd like it more if the pushers weren't knurled on the sides...

befor mine came I felt like that. However in the watch it looks so much better than in any photos I have ever seen. Have a look at this vid that shows the watch off well.

it's a lovely watch. I almost think the roman numerals jar with the rest of it though in some way - can't put my finger on it. It's quite a modern and functionally focused design.

Agreed. It's also why I don't like the side knurling - it serves no purpose.

Really love that. Did you get it in the U.K.?

Well, that's pretty much written off 90% of watch design apart from an hour hand and a dial

I like the idiosyncratic Roman bezel (has yet to be pointed out the numeral series is not classically charachtered, if not without precedent). Not a problem if a tach bezel is ever preferred as Lorne kindly bundled one, and am impressive thing it is too - including knurled pushers, which I also like.

So ner!

Thank you... I'm quite taken with its design purity. It was sourced in Naples... I could not find one in the UK

Considering the way it's put together, and the back story it's a great value watch,

I have one with the original face and I have to say the whole package is quality, In terms of general finish I would say on a par with a sports rolex and a notch behind the Ingenieur of about 10 years vintage,

Very happy with my new FE-140. Waiting for the croc strap to follow.

You should have mentioned that it looks like Precista PRS20, that might have helped...

What do the sub-dials measure and in what units?

Same here but they were kind enough to give me a coffee while they checked and confirmed no stock was likely to be allocated...

Until they looked at the (dusty) reverse perhaps...
