Well, it took almost as long as a pregnancy ... ;-)

Jack @ IWW sent pictures of my relumed "Mk. MCXLVIII" project watch today.

It is a PRS-53 case from Eddie, ETA 2824 automatic movement, Bill Yao Type 48 dial and hands relumed in C3 (Bill uses C1 on his dials), and a few other extras. I eventually wanted the date version as I intend to make this my office watch, and I'd be lost without the date at the office.



Here are a few previous pictures from before the watch was sent to IWW (originally a no-date dial was used in the project):





The caseback has been sterilized lest the watch be mistaken for a variant of the original Precista (fakes, and all that jazz ...):



Please note the beautifully domed acrylic crystal which was the main reason for choosing this particular watch as the donor watch.
