    ..and it's lovely :). I have a 7.75" wrist and it certainly doesn't wear too small.

    Woo Hoo!

    Looks marvellous, congrats.

    Any pics of it poking out of a shirt cuff at all?

    Looks cool, are the hands blued steel?

    Very nice, I can not believe how different this is compared to the original visuals.

    A few more pics showing some of the nice details - the signed buckle and strap are a cool touch.

    Apologies for the backgrounds in the pics - the furniture isn't mine...the errant wrist hair however is.

    The crown is perfectly sized and unfashionably modest. Love it. The watch itself is just so very wearable.

    Very happy with it :)

    I would love to see Rocco do a starburst lapping job on just the top surface of the case. Does that make me a degenerate pervert?

    So, had been following this watch for so long, a few days busy and not looking, and THIS!

    Thanks for all the pics guys, looks every bit as amazing as I'd hoped, I need to make some funds as I have to have this watch!

    Mine just arrived today and I must say I'm really pleased with the watch! Top marks Eddie! It's a beaut!!

    I think Canada Customs liked it too. They felt they had to open it to inspect it. They must have approved because they let it through!

    Here is mine

    First when i see the case form it remind me this strange thing:
    :-)

    Second when i saw the wristshot on the TF shop, it seems that the case size was on the big size;

    Third when i saw the dial color and how the light can play with it, i hit the "add to the basket" button

    One of the most attractive and stylish dress watches I've had the pleasure to view. It's sum of parts come together in a great package

    Thanks, guys! I live not too far from Chicago (compared to Sheffield, anyway) and make frequent trips to Horween to select the shell cordovan myself. I have a small workshop and make a few straps, but I really just wanted to show the PRS-36's many fans what a nice watch this is on Navy blue. The Navy is a new-ish color for me, and I'm really liking it. More interesting than a black strap, but still goes well with black shoes and gray trousers at work.

    I bought mine from Timefactors about 7 months ago. I absolutely love this watch and wear it most days. Here are some of the strap combos i wear it on

    Some great shots there. Cheeky request: what size is your wrist? I've been very tempted by this for a long time but it appears to wear big and I suspect on my 6.75in wrists it could look a bit daft. Ta.

    My wrist size is around 7" . I think the close up angle of my pics are making the watch appear to wear bigger than it does. I cannot recommend this watch highly enough and i am glad i bought one .
