On a dive trip on the island of Yap, wearing an older Suunto Shark (dive computer).

You may have read about my drunken splurge and purchasing the FF while on a trip to Vegas (http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=127923&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p1349705)

Well it just...

I have to go back to Vegas soon for another business trip - this time I need to keep my head about me. No mojito's before going to Tourneau, I don't know if you have ever been to Tourneau in Vegas -...

I thought that some of those watches could only be sold through an authorized dealer and I didn't think Costco was an authorized dealer for Omega or Tag.

So how did they skirt that?

What about the Fifty Fathoms?

They were some of the first military spec dive watches issued in the 1950s.

Please - nobody puke at my FF story.

First, I am a newbie when it comes to watch collecting and I own PRS-53, PRS-50B, PRS-17C (that is about it for my watch collection). I am also a frugal guy...

Caught the name the post... if you haven't seen the movie - it is very good (as is the novel by Greene).

As per Havana - have been, but that was prior to owning by PRS's (17C, 53, and 50B). Next...

That seems pretty decent, shame about the cyclops though. Not easily available over in the UK either.[/quote]


They make several versions of the higher-end model in the $250 - $350 range. I will...

Wow - very nice shots....

It kind of reminds me of a marriage between the old school military look and modern diver. Very clean and simple looking.

Thanks for sharing.

EDIT - quick question...

I don't own a '53 for photographs but Ewan Wilson has very kindly given permission to use some of his, so something like this may well be available soon.

These look like nice watches for the price. I haven't read anything about them - does anyone own one.

I really like the Diver and the Recon.

I was looking for a inexpensive sub, and while there are many LOOK-A-LIKES - it wasn't just looks but quality and movement as well.

If you want a sapphire crystal, Swiss ETA 2824 automatic...

neuman356,

I am with you, I am really not a fan of their watches (designs) for the most part. I was just looking for a Sub that had the quality and build for the sub-$500 price tag.

I see the...

I am a novice watch collector, I got the bug a few years back with my purchase of the PRS-53, and then PRS-17C. I am not Mr. Deep Pockets, but also I have issues with spending money. You could say I...

I wish I was on the list, I missed out on the batch. I just ordered a PRS-50B - since that looks like it is about to go and no new ones (as part availability seems scarce).

Oh well = can only...

I was a big fan of the Seamaster 300 and really wanted to nab a PRS-14, but missed out. I am just waiting (and hoping) for another batch of those beauties.

I started looking at the PRS-3 and it...

I thought I would ask Eddie about the future of both the PRS-50 and PRS-50B...

Here is his response...

"The 50B will go first Michael, I have only 23 remaining and don't have the movements to...

Ok - It is watch purchase time again and I am looking at the PRS-50 or the PRS-50B and I really can't decide. The classic look of the PRS-50B is nice, but the PRS-50 has character that is certainly...

I went home yesterday and opened the box to pull out the PRS-17C to look at it closely and try some of the suggestions.

I depressed the Push Button B and it WORKED! It reset the watch.
But then I...

I will try when I get home...let you know the results.

Regards..

Thanks for all the information.

I just dropped mine off at a watch store to have cleaned and the battery replaced.

I will post it for sale / trade once I get it back or offer it on Ebay.
...

I have had my PRS-17C for a couple of months now.

Yesterday the (push button B) lower button stopped working. I am unable to reset the chronograph (timer).

Note: I only wear this to work...

I received this watch a long time ago as a gift. I wore it for a while, but for some reason it never suited me.

I could not find anything out about it. However, I am interested in Trading it for a...

I feel like a dolt! SB3 = Speed Bird 3.... :oops:


Yeah - I want one of those too!


I am so use to looking for the PRS-XX that I forgot about SB = SpeedBird. I was thinking something like...

SB3?

Ahh....seems like I have some catching up to do. I never heard of the SB3.
