    • Great representation of a military field watch
Size: Tom Rice A-11 (38mm) Color: Ivory Dial / Green Strap

Like sunglasses, cars and firearms, the initial esthetics that grab me usually gets my wallet. I really liked the minimalist face and patina yellow color. The Hamilton watch on my lost was sold out so this will do for now.

Size: A-11 (42mm) Color: Black Dial / Brown Strap
Review Image by Edward E. Hillenbrand Edward E. Hillenbrand
This is the One watch that does it all for me: tool watch for work, daily beater, dress watch if wanted. It didn't look that impressive when I first put it on, a "small" 42 mm with the bezel and crystal drawing the eye inward. Yet ... I put on the next day, and the next and soon found myself making excuses to wear it. The proportions are about as perfect as they get on a $250 watch. My only complaint is that the movement was poorly regulated prior to shipping. The watch looses about 30 seconds per day. That's on the company for not adjusting at assembly. ... show more

Fantastic watch, looks great and overall function is top notch for the price range. The strap leaves a bit to be desired but that’s an easy fix. Overall would definitely recommend this watch.

    • This watch is simply amazing.
Size: A-11 (38mm) Color: Black Dial / Brown Strap
It’s assembled in the USA by Phaesidus. It is part of WWII military issue Type A-11 watches reproduction collection. Mine is a 38mm with the bulletproof Seiko automatic NH35A movement. The leather band is very high quality. If I found this watch a couple of years ago, it’s the only watch I would ever have bought. Check the listing. You can get a very accurate reproduction (hand wound 32mm or 34mm.) or a more modern 38mm size like I did. They even offer an American made quartz movement if you want to go all American. ... show more

    • Only buy if you hate lume!
Size: A-11 (38mm) Color: Black Dial / Brown Strap
Review Image by Jeffrey Comola Jeffrey Comola
Pro's-First of all, this is one VERY comfortable watch. Pretty slim, lightweight, and the included leather band is extremely comfortable. The NH-35 movement is thus far dead on accurate since I set it with my phone this morning. And it's also a very nice looking homage to the A-11. At lunch today it received 100% approval from the guys in attendance. Con's- This is NOT the watch I thought I was ordering. I selected the button that clearly states, 'Tom Rice 38mm', but what I got was the standard A-11. No sapphire crystal, and no engraving on the back mentioning the 101st Airborne. As a former 101st trooper myself, that's 95% of the reason I chose this piece over others. The worst part of this piece is that there is essentially NO LUME on the hands. NONE. I've included a pic shot with night mode on a Samsung Ultra 4 minutes after being charged outside. The indices and numbers are quite bright (but fade quickly) and there is no more glow on the painted parts of the hands than there is on the bare metal frames. Utterly unacceptable. And utterly useless on a dark night. This piece is worth maybe $100 in my opinion, but nowhere near the $259 it costs. I will probably be returning this watch despite it's comfort and attractiveness. ... show more

    • Love the 38MM

I swapped the brown leather band for an original bund strap I restored, the watch comes with a light brown comfy leather strap with textured liner. I didnt see any reviews for the 38MM version so here goes: It's still a large watch compared to the original issue and PX purchases of the time which were 34mm faces and down to 28mm. I love it. It's silent, period looking for WWII reenacting, and the band it comes with (I swapped it for an original black leather band) is comfy and sturdy. The dial is easy to see, and the instruction book is one page. I put the Praesidus next to a period WWII 34mm watch with a 1960's band. As you can see the 38MM still dwarfs the period piece. However, it is incredibly comfortable; even for someone who hates wearing a watch. I only wear one to work (fire department), or to re-enactments. So in summary, I highly recommend the watch, there's a 3 year warranty unless you destroy it yourself. There is a fee for repairs not covered but it's $15 so Praesidus backs their product. I have no idea how their customer service is and hope I never find out. If you want a big modern looking watch to wear around get either size, it's a beautiful watch. If you need it as a historical piece, get the 38MM it's excellent. ... show more

    • Bad Quality and Guarantee
Size: 38mm Color: Ivory Dial / Brown Strap
I used it once in a pool for only 10 minutes and got water in it. I tried to use the guarantee and it's only 30 days for a watch over $250.00. Companies that believe in the quality of their products offer at least one year.

    • Good watch. Different Model?
Size: A-11 (42mm) Color: Black Dial / Brown Strap
First off I wanted a watch with no branding or text (besides the aribic nimbers). I wanted a basic automatic with now date or day window. I also wanted something with a common movement. This checked all the boxes. I like the look utilitarian of it. Thee numbers are slighly raised on the dial giving it a little dimension. Buyer beware though, I ordered what I thought was the A-11 Tom Rice based on the "42mm Tom Rice" that I clicked. I received the 42mm A-11 Service Watch. After a little research, the only difference I found is that the Tom Rice now has sapphire glass and "the lost watch of D-day" engraving which inflates the cost $100 more while the Service watch has K1 glass according to the website. I think they changed the model line up recently, as in changed the A-11 Tom Rice model to sapphire and renamed the old Tom Rice model the now A-11 Service Watch. That being said, I was expecting K1 glass so I'm not upset, because I based my decision of reviews from a couple years ago. Mine also doesn't have the Tom Rice engraving on the back, it just says Type A-11. Besides, I wouldn't be willing to spend an extra $100 just for sapphire, since I'm not hard on my watches anyways. ... show more
