Didn't realise that. Thanks.
Hello, new to TZ & happy to report that #467 is on its way to Washington, DC from Charlotte, NC.
#402 is in the Tyne valley - here's it on a leather Spectre style strap I made as an experiment:
No. 479 just arrived safely in Kuwait.

I have the number 488. Arrived on Friday in Melbourne.
What a beautiful watch! My wrist is so skinny, it is still loose on the first hole. I will have to look for a new strap.
Gents, I am looking for a stainless steel bracelet. Could you please give me the links. Thanks.
Hi NobitaD
I think we share the same wrist size... ;-)
Have a look through this post, there's a Watchdoo Lumpy bracelet featured:

Same bracelet also featured in this post

The Lumpy is mostly sold on eBay and maybe some forums
Here's a review and better close-in photos

Apparently the eBay link is the following, but I don't see any for sale right now

Any 20mm bracelet with straight-ends and a brushed finish is probably going to be fine.
e.g. see here for "straight-end"

A lot of people use Strapcode for bracelets
e.g.

There's also the "mesh" style bracelet if that's to your taste
e.g.

PS.
For everyone else's general interest and Saturday morning reading,
I just ran across this good older dive article featuring the PRS-82...

I suspect that the PRS82 will be too heavy for an AF.0210 strap and be at risk of slipping off the strap every time you unfasten it from your wrist. I could be wrong but be careful.
#477 is in London:
These are really rather lovely - how do they work on a bracelet?
Hi,
No 160 / Ilvesheim / Germany
PRS-82 @ Military Green @ Olive Drab cut.jpg
Lovely piece, simple, versatile, camera-shy. Definitely a keeper.

Looking good fellows!
I've entered all the last updates now. Sorry, rather delinquent.
Funny how much of my forum gazing has switched to Tapatalk...
#536 Just landed in Staffordshire :)
*edit* just hasn't grown on me the same way the 18Q did, found its way onto Ebay to fund other stuff.

No. 132 on a watchadoo lumpy.
I've just seen these will be back in production next year. I'd love to get another, but I just can't get on with the faux aged lume. Anybody else agree? Would love to see some with the regular superluminova.
Definitely agree with you there - that’s why I sold mine.
I've got number 231 near Exeter in Devon, UK
I had one with the original movement when they first came out but stupidly sold it.
Now have one with the 2824 movement #532 and it's my most worn watch, perfect diver for me.
Number 44 from the original batch out for a stroll with the hound

Congratulations!
All the best to our little PRS-82 family
- stay safe out there everyone!
Excelente, disfruta tu reloj!

Forgot to say that I have no. 540 here in Whitstable. Love wearing it on a NATO!
I rather like it (although I'm easily pleased!). I'll buy one if I can get one.
I have been holding out for this one as opposed to buying a pre owned last re-issue one that Time Factors did and is now sold out. This was mainly because I fancy one on a bracelet and it seems that this new one will come with one fitted.
I'm not keen on the aftermarket Bonklip (?) type or any other as they don't seem to fit the case profile in a pleasing way.
Do we have an estimated time when these might be released?
Ahhhh the bezel insert colours are just wrong IMO. The original reissue was one of the best Timefactors watches I have owned, both in terms of looks and the amazing build quality. I am sure the latter will continue but the bezel insert on this version is totally off putting, it ruins the classic looks for me.

I agree,I was just admiring mine the other day it has something special about it.
I agree, it looks both overdone and out of place if you know what I mean. Another batch of the classic with the new movement and bracelet would have been spot on. But what do I know? They’ll all sell out in under two minutes so another success for the gaffer
Agreed, it reminds me of the Smiths Commander, which I think I kept for all of 3 weeks.

Really appreciate you updating this thread as the PRS 82 is on my wish list, hopefully a mint early version has my name on it somewhere.

Very interesting info, sure to perplex and delight PRS-82 enthusiasts for years to come.
Should some of these details be added to the first post in this "Precista PRS-82 Royal Navy Diver (re-edition) owners list" thread? Having two batches of serial numbers "in the 400-500 range, albeit with different date prefixes" might have minor implications for the numbering of the owners list?
I love my PRS-82. It's hard to find a more enjoyable watch, at least for me. I imagine in 20 years Eddie's re-edition will have a cult status comparable to the original 82.

I did have a quick glance through, and couldn’t see any duplicated serial numbers. Who knows!
I was in SF when they won the World Series in 2014. If I recall correctly, I drank a lot of beer. ;-)
Yes I will definitely do that, will have to give some thought as to the best way to proceed...Very interesting info, sure to perplex and delight PRS-82 enthusiasts for years to come.

Great to have the back story from Eddie. Tales from behind the curtain!
Good thing I’m not tracking PRS-25 models!
571 has just arrived in Nottingham.
Thank you, Mr Platts. It is lovely!
Apologies if this has already been shared, but here is a fairly recent overview of the PRS-82 from CLOCKWORKTIME on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/L4r3umliEnw
I am not associated with the channel, but I am happy to see this video. The PRS-82 certainly deserves more attention.
Nice! thanks for sharing
Very cool. Thanks for posting.
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
I always liked the PRS-82 and loved the connection to the original through the use of the NOS movements.
I was lucky to get one which I reviewed here;
https://www.speedychronos.com/single...made-for-abuse
Then for some idiotic reason I sold it on...
Happy to report that I was lucky enough to get another. So 14050232 is now with me!

Would you mind posting a picture when your strap arrives please.
I'm very interested in hearing your views on the strap, they do look like a cracking strap.

I am also interested in seeing photos of the A.F.0210. strap.
I just noticed that the PRS-82 is listed as sold out on Timefactors. Are more on the way?
#69 alive and kicking in pontypool butt
No, I’ll have to check the serial number, bought one from initial release, sold it, regretted but, bought another initial release.
Superb watch

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
I may have missed this here on TZ-UK, but from Facebook it sounds like the PRS-82 will eventually return with Sellita SW200 movements and stainless steel bracelets.
That’s good to hear… I had one of the originals but long gone now. I would love it with a cleaner lume colour this time around.
Agreed - that’s why I sold mine
Good idea. I have an issued 1982 Precista & can confirm that the lume on one of these rare beasts is quite a bit paler than the TF PRS82. I’ll post an image later.
There you go....quite a bit lighter!
