Earlier this year, I bought an A-11 spec 1942 watch from Praesidus. Upon receipt of the watch, I found that the minute and hour hand lume was dead, and would not glow for more than a couple of minutes after exposure to light. I contacted the company and complained, and they sent me a return authorization, so I sent the watch back to them for repair. Praesidus received the watch on 3/14/2025. Several weeks later, I started emailing to inquire as to the status of my watch, and was told that it would typically take seven to eight weeks for the repair process to play out and to get my watch back to me. Since then I have sent six emails asking about the situation, in each case getting basically the same reply. My watch is in repair, and they would check on it and get back to me on it. In no case have I gotten any further reply to tell me what the hell is going on. It is now pushing 12 weeks that this company has been holding my watch, and I cannot even get a reply from them now. So I am out about $260.00 and have nothing to show for that expenditure, while they continue to hold my property.I cannot speak for others, but I would earnestly advise everyone considering doing business with this company not to do so, or to anticipate being screwed if you do. Look at their reviews online and this will become apparent.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Update to the above review. I have been sent a replacement watch, and so far, it appears to work and keep time properly, and the luminous features are good. While I didn't like getting a lemon the first time around, I am considering the matter as properly rectified now. The company did make it right.
