panerai153 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Looks very nice. The Miyota 9015 is a good solid movement, and one that a lot of the smaller " boutique" watchmakers are going to since Swatch group has choked off the sale of ETA movements outside the group. Solid watch with QC and a warranty for the price of a rep! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 On mirco brands/boutiques waiting on this to come back in stock over at Borealis: Tritium markers been looking for that in a dial/case I liked and they are going w/ the Seiko 4R35 which is just fine by me.

samsnelling Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I love that. I've been waiting on their Tudor homage to come back in stock as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Mike that's a good looking watch and a proper size! AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have a pradata as well. Great looking watch but its finish is meh at best. Pearl is currently MIA, the bezel is not properly aligned and the DLC coating has decided to part ways with the caseback (but you have a brushed finish so you're safe in that department). Also, if you have a DLC pradata: they forgot to coat the bracelet between the links. It's bare metal there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like something that would be done on a cheaper watch (like one of my DLC'd fossils). I got the blasted finish, which hopefully looks good! I have read similar reviews that the blasted is a last step finish as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
