Great vid! This was my grail watch! I have the "Swiss made" version with the 3186 upgraded movement. In summer I use an orange "rubber b" strap. Expensive but amazing strap. You are right that it barely gets noticed, which I also like. Have not regretted this purchase and it gets a lot of wrist time. Cheers!

I had a 16570 purchased after seeing many amazing photos of it in 2021. I had it for several months and traded it in for something else. Not for profit, just never bonded with it. Mainly because the bracelet is off clasp for me and it doesn’t look as good as the photoshopped version shots too :)

Is that possible swap the movement (e.g. ETA 2892-A2 top grade or Omega calibre 1120 which is much thinner and smaller than Miyota 9039)? and also I'd like to exchange double high domed plexiglass compared to current one.

Buyer, beware, gents. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I also used to be an enthusiastic PRS-18A (different model, same company) owner... ... until the cheap bezel inscription wore off completely, rendering the bezel nearly useless. The circular ratchet spring inside the bezel broke repeatedly -- rendering it COMPLETELY useless. And this was supposedly a German-made PRS-18A. I ordered a new bezel spring from Timefactors. The watch repairman who installed it politely offered that this is not an uncommon problem with dive watches. He was not entirely correct, which I'll get to below. When I ordered my second or third ratchet spring from Eddie Platts, he very gruffly told me he would not sell me more springs because they are in limited supply. I wish he had advertised that on his website before I plunked down a few hundred euros for the watch. Note that as of this posting, the PRS-18 IS NOT OFFERED. There's probably a good reason for this. Also in a very uncivil tone, Platts told me that “no, it is NOT a common problem for bezel springs to break.” Indeed, he was correct that this is not a common problem -- when I became the happy owner of a CWC dive watch. The now five-year-old CWC looks almost as new as it did the day I bought it. My Precista is now nothing more than an expensive paperweight that bears witness to “you get what you pay for” and “buyer beware.” At this point, my Precista isn't even good enough as a “beater” watch since THE CROWN WON'T CLOSE BECAUSE THE THREADS NO LONGER CATCH. Not an attractive feature in a dive watch. I'm writing this because it's true. Save your money and get a SOLID watch from a reputable company that also has good customer service AND COMMITS TO AFTER-SALE CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Still smitten with Timefactors as I was? The risk is yours to take. Maybe you'll be lucky, but maybe you'll have an experience like mine. Buyer, beware.
