“I was looking hard at the Presage line but then caught Marc's video on these Essentials. These are a better bang for the buck in my opinion. Plus, I just love this simple but elegant white sun-ray dial. (The silver-on-white is not nearly as "hard to read" as some might think. Although the tiny date window is all but useless to my aging eyes). Anyway, I'm very pleased with the watch as well as the overall purchasing experience through Long Island Watch. I got a beautiful automatic watch at a great price, shipped quickly. What more can you ask for? Unless I can talk myself out of the "need" for a dive watch, I'll probably be a repeat customer in the near future. Thanks.”
