Hello!
The PRS-29A and AM are 2 of my favourite TF watches. Would any lucky wearers care to share a pic or 2 of their shiny new 2024 aquisition?
Will the PRS-29A be available this weekend?
I was wearing my original PRS-29A mk1 today,all I can say is its a watch that never dissapoints it's a true classic.
Does my pre-2024 AM count?

Another old one from 2022.

Here’s mine on a dark ostrich strap.

A silly question if I may
We all have our weaknesses, things we are not proud to admit to but are important to us for some reason (unfathomable to others).
Mine are accuracy and precision.
Would it be conceivable to have a(n even more) limited run with optimised calibres (chronometer?) specs or is that totally fanciful?
Many already run within chronometer specification. For it to be a certified chronometer, it would have to be assembled in Switzerland which would no doubt increase the cost for no real benefit.Quote:

Thank you Eddie. I thought there was alternatives to the Swiss one. Besançon, and there was talk of a UK one.Quote:

There are alternatives but there's a cost involved. You should get yours regulated, it's certainly capable of better (unless it needs a service).Quote:

And yes, I was aware there would be a cost but I seem to remember there was a (German?) manufacturer who was selling both a normal and a chronometer version (at an added premium) of their models. Anyway it’s probably a silly idea in the current context.
Mine is the Mk2 from 2019 and she runs within a few secs slow in A WEEK!

I will say, as a general point, that I'd typically be willing to pay a premium for a higher-quality movement. Not aesthetics, which I personally don't care about (give me a steel case back), but precision in timekeeping. I'll throw more money at that any day of the week.
