Praetorian Signifier Watch
on: December 16, 2010, 12:04:48 AM
Just got this and I'm really loving it :D

For fans of military style watches, this one really doesn't disappoint. It's very similar to the Marathon GSAR style watch and quality wise, really isn't far behind. It's a little bigger at 45mm sans bezel, and it's available on a number of different 22mm straps.
It has a Citizen/Miyota 8215 Automatic Movement with 21 jewels which is no slow coach.

I got mine used and in great shape for a total bargain price, but they retail around the £350 mark. There are also similar models available from a couple of other companies too, but this one was too good to pass up! I'm weak.... very weak...

Mine came on the silicone strap but I have put it straight on to a nice battered leather one I have which was made by Paul at Orb Straps (highly recommended).

Anywhere, here's some rather crappy pics followed by a stock one which shows off the lovely 3 colour tritium markers  :drool:











The trits really rock at night and this might just be my new favourite winter watch :)

It's heavy and solid, looks and feels like it can take some abuse, which it will no doubt receive in my company  >:D

Wow, that is very nice  :drool:

It does remind me of the Marathon.

Too big for my wrists though, so I can resist...


Too big...  :bnghd:




Must resist....   :ahhh









Oh, who am I kidding?  :gimme:

nuphoria,

Real nice grab, those Praetorians are sweet! I heard about this brand earlier this year and had eyed a few myself, but the price range of them is a bit out my reach......at least for the ones I want. You got a nice one there!  :2tu:

Yes, I'm really pleased with it. Haven't taken it off much either :D

It was an ebay catch, couldn't have afforded it otherwise.

I have been putting it on the table by my bed at night - perfect clock!

Thanks :)

Seeing as you folks seem to like the strap lots, here's the link to the chap who made it:

Very competitive and really excellent quality. I've been wearing mine for a year or so now, mostly on a Black Monster, but I couldn't resist putting it on this one :D
