Lo usé sólo por 3 meses y no volví a usarlo, porque el lumen era inservible.

What Presage Cocktail Time SRPB41 owners say

Great bang for the buck. I have a blue moon and a silver face with blued hands ( can't remember the name). Both look far more expensive than they are.

I have yet to see another watch in it's price range that is more visually stunning, and it easily competes with (in my opinion), watches that cost x3 plus (assuming retail value which I see these go for ~$300)

Also, it wears big and chunky. The strap is cheap ass vinyl looking.
