    Oh no! Not more watches

    Three boxes just delivered, 247 watches and no, it's not the CAF. Another 400 watches due before the end of the month :( .

    Just wondering, will that be the most stock you've carried at one time?

    You could always sell them out the boot of your car at motorway service stations like Krug Baumann salesmen do.

    I've got everything crossed for the 18.

    Surely 18s. I can't think that the B-Uhr is good to go just yet. :)

    Re: Oh no! Not more watches

    Time for some straight questions: :D

    Are there any PRS-18Q?

    Are there any PRS-18A?

    Are there any quartz variant of the PRS-3?

    Or should I just be patient?

    Well, Eddie, you'll just have to sell some to make room for the incoming.

    247 is an odd number.

    My guess is 147 of the above (with PRS-3 and PRS-4 prototypes already delivered and approved)
    and 100 of something else.

    50 b-uhr, 50 Dn GMT....or it could be the PRS30?
    I so want it to be the B-uhr.

    I don't hold out much hope for the Dreadnought GMT or the B-Uhr (it was promised that the DN would be available before the London Olympics, however, and I never forget a promise :D), but if the PRS-3/4 quartz were among the ones just received, I'd be a happy man.

    Agreed on the Dn and -uhr being hopeful, but even on Sheffield time, that Centre Seconds movement has been hanging around a long time!

    :D At least I don't have to worry about having no money and missing out on a new one I want, I already have an A but would like a Q at some point, glad they are coming back though as they are great.

    I would assume it is dimensionally identical, and it sure looks that way.

    If the new version said "United Kingdom", it might have been a collectors piece in 3 years time.

    I never thought I'd be so happy about a closure :D

    Time Factors is closed until Monday 23 January 2012, when the new Precista 93 PRS-18A will be launched.

    Hang on ! It's not the 'Q'. :?
