    New toy-Perrelet Seacraft

    Picked up the Perrelet Seacraft A1053-B in an after Thansgiving sale that was too tempting to pass up. Everything about the watch, which uses an in house version of the Soprod A-10, screams quality, including the bracelet, which has a ratcheting clasp adjustment and single sided screw links with an integrated pin/screw that is so easy and logical, it makes you scratch your head and wonder why all bracelets aren't constructed the same way. It's a fairly substantial watch that seems to wear larger than its 42mm case size, but is still beautifully balanced and it hugs the wrist very comfortably. I have yet to get a solid read on the accuracy, but it appears to be about +6 seconds per day and the lume is impressive.

    Not bad. I like how it has markers and no numbers.
    Quite the substantial case and hefty clasp - WOW.
    Congrats.

    Back when Perrelet re-emerged on the watch scene, the 'Turbine' caught my eye.

    It might not be the most intuitive watch to read though.

    Not that it matters

    I was looking at these the other day - the chrono version is quite interesting too. And I agree about the "quality" - these do feel well-made - although at those prices, they should...

    Don't see many of the non-turbine versions. Many thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy it.

    Congratulations. Perrelet make great watches.

    I have these two. I am looking at other models in their range too. Finish and build quality is up there with the best.

    They certainly have some interesting models.
    And you can get them really cheap with some well respected sellers.
    When you don't pay RRP, you get a lot a watch for your cash.

    Nice non-mainstream choice. I quite fancy one of the blue-faced ones if I could find a good enough deal. Enjoy!
