I’ve talked myself out of it. Initially by deciding to buy something else that would sweep the temptation away - but then I talked myself out of that as well. Over the course of a few days I found that my Newmark-inspired new watch fever had abated.
It’s a fine and worthy thing, the Newmark, perfect in every detail but one. I don’t actually mind the errant sub-dial that much, but if you’re looking for a reason to keep your money in your pocket, there it is.

thats the thing a mech would have made it alright ..but if not a meh then think I would have prefer a decent quartz movement to have the features correct .. then going with a mecaquartz ... just my take would think on wearing the features would be the thing I would want most to be right

Same here. I just can't quite work out who it's aimed at: the WIS community want an exact replica in every way and it's too much of a tool watch for the general population IMHO.

That part I understand - it’s people like me.
I’ve only just decided against it, and there seem to be a good number of Timefactors / MWR and CWC types who are keen on it.
The original is much admired, he has no real competition, the price is tempting, and I think he’ll do OK. I hope so.

well thats not exactly true now is it I can think of two possible three companys off the top of my head that do the same look in mech and with the right sub dials at a round that price point the only thing they are lacking is the newmark label ... I wonder if some times people are letting a lot go to have that name and will accept certain short falls just to have the name ? ?

plus was there not a PRECISTA PRS-5 but guessing that one would have cost a lot more maybe and of course the cwc but again that would be even more
