Nice review!
Reminds me of what I was thinking about when I wrote my review on the PuristSPro ABR watch back in 2009!
I found the accuracy neither here nor there (ironically the most accurate watch I've worn was not the Jaeger-LeCoultre tourbillon nor the Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Chronometer but a nice simple Montblanc Rieussec Chronograph Hometime), but I thought the lume on the dial was quite sufficient. In fact, I recall noticing how bright it was across my bedroom when I was sleeping in bed at night. I also did not notice it had issues with the winding system. It has a fairly reliable ETA 2824 movement.
I really liked your review, and I especially liked your photos. Your photos really seemed to capture the brightness of the carbon fiber dial. A difficulty I had because I was constantly trying to photograph the watch indoors with indoor light. I wore it exclusively on the black silicon strap, but it certainly looks cool on the red silicon strap! Wished I was not so serious as I could've easily gotten away with a splash of color back then.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on no. 167!

Thanks very much for your honest and thorough review!
I'm always happy to read our fellow PuristS reviews on our PPro ABR community watch. And it's great to see that people still wear them and enjoy them :) I haven't tried the new rubber strap yet, so hopefully someone who ordered one can give us an updated ...

The ABR has qualities and - above all - has a meaning!
Dear Anthony, Thank you for your reply. The reason why I'm so keen on my ABR is that it not only has a lot of qualities, but it has a meaning. Please, let me explain: the main quality is that when I wear it I feel younger ;-) the main meaning is that it r...
Heartbreaker, thank you so much for this review!
An on the wrist review is the only way to discern the good and bad points of a Watch. Interesting read! Best, Nicolas
Well, I think there are different schools of thought...
Well, Nicolas, I think there are different schools of thought about the best way to discern about the good and bad points of an object. Some say that the longer the time an object is with us and we will get used to the weaknesses and gain a sort of attach...
Dear Elio
Coffee with your surname on me when we meet ;) Loved your review but must sax that never ever had issues with winding the watch auto way Once on wrist and few firm shakes and things are in motion It never stopped on me if I wore it through the day About t...
Oh-Oh! Why I've closed the message including my surname?
??? Probably that's why I'm used to close this way the tens of e-mail I send daily... Don't worry... but... I'm sorry, I'm not the one that make excellent coffees ;-) Thank you for your consideration on the watch, I completeley agree with you. Ciao, Elio

Carbon fiber is really cool
Thank you, Patrick, for your words. I haven't spend much time taking pictures of the watch and I'm very glad you've appreciated them! About the red strap: I wish you will have many happy and relaxing opportunities to dress our watch with its not-so-seriou...
Fantastic review of the PPro ABR!
Thank you for the wonderful photos and review. I enjoyed reading it a lot. I got mine since Feb 2014 and have been enjoying it since as well. Here's my # 156 saying hi! :) Just worn it this Sat for a swim. I use it now as my rough watch and it works great...
Hey, Robin, you're very kind
Thank you for you words. About the winding efficiency: the problem is gradually downsizing, so I'm confident it will be solved in the future. Maybe, I simply have to wear the watch more frequently and the movement will become more efficient, so I won't ne...
How could I miss that - did Apple pay some royalties?
This similarity... amazing! This can't be coincidence! Cheers, Magnus ...

Who knows, Magnus, maybe the Apple Watch will also be disinfectable ;-) Ciao, Elio
Some answers to your review questions
heartbreaker, Thank you for a balanced review. It is comments from real users that St Gallen took onboard to make improvements like the medical silicone strap system 2. Or the addition of 5 microns height to the case to prevent stoppages due to the hands ...
WOW, Melvyn! Precise and interesting reply, as always!
Thank you very much for your answers! Now, I know much more on my ABR. About the strap system 2: I'd really like to buy one of those one, but the shipping costs to Italy are too high. Do you know if have dealers in Switzerland? Best salutations, Elio
