I suspect that the easy availability of credit for apple watches has skewed the market somewhat.
The watch he reviewed, a NTH Nazario, seems to tick a lot of boxes for me, an rolex oyster style case but not the newer Maxi case, polished on the bevels, very slim case, drilled lugs, good bracelet, 6 year warranty. Downside is that californian dial and that the website although it has options, it's difficult to see what is still available with some pages directing to check for retailers.
Here, I've almost pulled the trigger many times on an Everest or a PRS-32 (it's the NE88 movement) or a PRS-40 (it's the shape) and I've lurked for a few years now after having seen a Precista and at some point I know I'll give in :)
