    That looks fantastic. I'm still holding out for the Seafire, but can't wait to see more pics of this stunner.

    This was one that didn't really tick the box for me but seeing it in the flesh I have to say its a lovely piece.

    I am sure that will be another seller, well done Eddie.

    Oh dear, my bank balance just took another hit.
    Lovely watch, Eddie!

    That looks really nice indeed and more so than I imagined.

    Elegant in it’s simplicity, IMO.

    Eddie, this one is a stunner.

    I love the minute track… I love that the sub dial is sterile. Case shape looks fantastic too.

    'Money where mouth is' time... Ordered :)

    Oh...
    My...
    Days...!

    That is simply stunning. I'll admit to having been ambivalent about this one, but the execution is wonderful. (note to self: get sizeable bonus and secrete some funds to buy this beauty).

    Crikey, I really don't need another watch. The lumed numerals are cool, don't seem to find them that often.

  13. #113
    Damn you Eddie.

    The vicarage does not need and cannot afford any more Smiths watches. Not another one.

    And yet . . . it looks so good, so right, so . . . But no, I mustn't. But then again . . . Oh no. Surely, how can one not?

    *sigh*

    That really is lovely looking! Struggling to resist...my pocket money is meant to be earmarked for the PRS-29!

    Very nice, Eddie. Any chance of the strap being made available separately?

    It isn't currently a plan, I'll be using this strap for 3 watches and only have enough for those.

    I assume the other two are a secret at the moment?! Will they be available pre-xmas?

    Back to PRS-36… is this a limited edition Eddie? What was the quantity of this first batch… 50-odd?

    I received 50 this week and I'm expecting another 50 by the end of the week with a further 100 to come.

    Thanks Boss… it really is a beauty.

    And chance you could do a shot next to the RICHMOND SPENCER – PRS-08? I feel they are in the same family out of your stable and the 08 is a watch I have always lusted after…!

    Hi, is this still the case, just wondering whether to order before the 1st batch sells out (if not already?). What will be the other movement if it is indeed different? Thanks.

    Good questions, especially as the Cushion Case PRS-36 ended at 37 mm rather than 34 mm.

    It's a very attractive and unusual strap - it might sell nicely on its own.

    Oooh, hello you...

  33. #133
    Well, someone IS going to be busy in the next few weeks - I bet their local post office will be cussing. ;-)

    (That’s the most attractive ‘plain’-dialled watch I’ve seen in a long while).

    Very nice indeed, if it wasn't for the PRS-36, this one would have been heading my way.

    Very nice - although to be honest I prefer the cushion case the Cushion Case PRS-36 out of the 2

    Same, it's a bit more unique, although if the wife would allow me I'd happily own both.

    Oh Eddie… what have you done. This is going to take a lot of talking to the Mrs to clear both the 35 & 36!

    A beauty. I can see this watch being a great gift for people.

    ^^^ Thanks Guv. So that one wish granted, now I have to direct my second one at the other half to see if I can buy it!!

    The 35 is not getting much attention in the flood of TF releases, but I think it stands up really well next to them all.
