In my limited opinion…
The Precista watches were a budget divers watch (that just about met the defstan) cost was definitely a factor in getting these adopted by the MOD.
My 89 is no where near as good quality as the standard CWC. Everything about the CWCs make them a better watch, finishing, printing, bezel action. There is no way you could move the bezel with wet or gloved hands. It’s just not possible.
The original Precista’s are a parts watch, they are a very rare and good looking parts watch but pretty basic in the hand
The only exception was the 92
These are robust, chunky and rather good looking. But still made to a bottom price.
I don’t think (but do hope) that these will reach the same price as the CWC autos or watches that came before them.
