Praesidus Service WatchvsTedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A

Owners widely praise the Praesidus Service Watch for its 38mm size and solid build quality, with the domed crystal providing vintage distortion and the unbranded dial appealing to history enthusiasts. However, owners report jumpy hand sensitivity when setting the time. One owner experienced a scratchy crown and a noisy rotor on their DD-45, which persisted after warranty service and eventually led to the crown locking mid-way. Concerns about slow customer service and a negative reputation for Praesidus's support are also noted by owners. On balance, owners appreciate the vintage aesthetic and wearability of the Praesidus Service Watch, though persistent customer service issues temper enthusiasm.

The Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A is built around the reliable Seiko NH35A automatic movement, with owners reporting accuracy around +/- 5 seconds per day. The 36mm case size is noted as being a custom build, incorporating parts from AliExpress and an Invicta Pro Diver, with specific mention of gold hour and minute hands. On balance, owners find the Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A to be a satisfactory custom build, appreciating the reliability of the NH35A movement and the familiar styling.
