That would be very interesting in a less british looking watch. Something a bit more Bauhaus maybe.

A PRS-14 V2? When was this mooted? :shock: And what are the changes?[/quote]
Yes. Please tell us more about the PRS-14 V2.

I always liked the PRS-14 and would have bought one if it was...
They also seem to be pushing 'MWC' models that look identical to the Rayla and Rayrus divers for over 3x the price of those on ebay and twice the price of a PRS-18 :roll:
?1180 (£889) according to the website.
No, but I often wondered what a 14 would look like with a '12' dial.
Plenty. It's also sponsored by Harrods :pukeright:. The "A-Z of the World's Best Watch Brands" includes Lacoste, Hugo Boss and Pulsar (as well as plenty of worthy mentions), but not a mention of...
Excuse the terrible photoshopping and sorry if this is an abuse of Eddie's picture. Perhaps something like:

Or a Sinn 903 H2 or H4.
It's the Flieger Cockpit and is still on their website.
Can anyone recommend someone in the UK for repairing or servicing a 5100?
The Speedbird 3 NEEDS that crown :shock:
A bracelet like the Omega 1498 or 1998 would be ideal. In fact I would buy a PRS-14 then...
Looking at the pictures of the PRS-14 and PRS-17, it seems the 17 movement is finished with geneva stripes and perlage.
Is this true for the production watches, or are these photos from...
actually, a friend said the same about my 656.
How about a marine chronometer style desk clock?
Nice big, blued hands on a crisp white dial, anti-glare sapphire, polished steel case, maybe square.
Maybe you could wear in as a watch too...
perfect in every way.

Say, Eddie, any news about the Italian?
Just in terms of the case shape you mean? They're still just ETA movements and I don't think they're even antimagnetic like the Sinn!
Nah. People will look at them in the High Street and buy online, cheaper.

Everyone I know with a Rolex, Tag or Omega bought it on the high street, even though they could have saved...
...which is a shame, because even with high street markup, I think they'd sell really well. (B&R sell on the high street...)
I on the other hand wish the PRS-17 had NO date...
Nice - are these bracelets easy to obtain?
How about a 38/39mm flieger, like the Stowa, but a GMT with a lumed skelton hour hand like the Sinn 756 for the 2nd zone, and blued regular hands. It would be hard getting a 24hr layout on the dial...
I love the rotors on old 60s autos like these Seikos and old Longines - much more attractive than the thing swinging on a 2824-2 or a 7750.
I remember about 15 years ago you could buy a Swiss made quartz Rotary on the high street while Argos sold a near identical version for "half price". The Argos one was made in Japan. It was almost...
