HEY! WAIT A SECOND!

I didn't even know the new 50 was released and there are already WRIST SHOTS!!!!!!!!

I thought I've been checking the threads regularly. When & where was availability...

Oh no! Something tells me there's another Precista in my future.

This one looks like it could be the one but it's going to be a hard choice given the new 50.

Thanks a bunch, Eddie.

CK 2913. It's a beaut!

If a marine chronometer is in the works, could we maybe have a red 12?

Oh, forget it. I don't care if it's red, black, blue, green, or purple. A marine chronometer would be perfect no matter the...

Maybe I missed something too. Is there the chance of a Marine chronometer making an appearance in 2009? Tell me now before I do anything foolish.

And have a happy, healthy & safe New Year.

If you're asking which of Eddies 2009 projects I would buy, definitely a new 50 if one materializes.

Dave

WOW! It looks better in real life than in the pictures!

You know how some watches (most) look great in photos, but only to be "ho-hum" in the flesh? Not this. A friend who lives close just got one...

Actually, based on my chart of Fifties, the caseback looks pretty darn close to the original of that variant. I contacted the seller about the movement & was informed that it was the AS 2063 which...

I think I remember you mentioning them in the past. Any idea what the movement is they're using?

What do you make of this?

Looks like one of Eddie's cases to me & the seller is in Germany. Looks WAY too new to even be NOS. Any...

Look! Just like Stoby!

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually just messing around while I was taking some shots of another watch for the 'bay.

I can go along with most of Rollon's list of recommendations if they are possible to implement and don't drive up the costs considerably except the following: "a nicely and discreetly incorporated...

Hey Nalu!

Actually Eddie has said plenty in this thread. This qoute says it all: "I could get a different model very quickly."

Now let's see if there's any real interest.

Dave

Hi Stoby!

I like the small scales of the croco. I also like the look of the stitching on that one too. Would you mind telling me what strap that is?

Thanks!

Dave

Since I seem to be the only one replying to this thread lately, it seems there is very little interest in a new 50. Too bad, too, since Eddie has already offered the following early on in this...

Here's an interesting variant that might satisfy those that require a date feature:

Missing bezel:...

If Eddie thinks that adding a date window would sell more 14s, he should try it. Omega did:

Actually looks pretty darn nice - even with...

I'm sure Eddie would not go down this route for obvious reasons but I've always thought a date window at 4:30 looks like an afterthought, especially the way it looks on the Archimede. I've owned 2...

Since I already own one and it's not going anywhere, Eddie can do anything he wants with the next batch (except, of course, screw it up which I don't think he has the ability to do).
...

in defense of Bill, his stingray case and bezel *is* based on a FF that has a flat profile case & bezel, along with a sterile dial. the only difference is that the stingray has a slightly flatter...

Because a Stingray ISN'T a Precista.

Hi John.

Like I said in a previous post, I've owned the PRS-50 and both the Stingray 50 MOD1C and MOD2C.

50 MOD1C:...

I probably should have written lume but they're still a form of "applied markers" to me. Some of the best looking lume in daylight I've seen.

Dave

Hi Bjorn.

I had both the Stingray 50 MOD1C and MOD2C hoping that their thinner profile would "fit" my 6.5" wrist better than the PRS-50 did. They did but unfortunately I couldn't warm-up to either...

I'm very glad to see my post has sparked some interest & enthusiasm for the different incarnations of the iconic FF - definitely one of my favorite vintage watches.

As for style, I still like the...

And which dial?

Hi Eddie!

I'd love one just like the one pictured above in my original post with the type of bezel treatment you are currently using on your current 50. With your...
