    PRS-36 why not?

    Put it on a brown perlon today. I think it really works and love the perfect fit and smaller buckle. What do you think?

    Looks really well. I sold mine this month but it's a great looking watch nonetheless.

    Understated and dress watches often look really good on perlon straps in my opinion.

    Nice combination. Try a blue perlon too?

    There is a lot to like and i have hovered over this one a few times, but I know that my ocd requires the sub-dial to be recessed and the the second had to rotate within it.

    Its a shame because it is a lovely looking thing.

    I don't think you'd get that in the '36's price range. They represent great value for money and very versatile. Do it!

    The strap suits the watch very well. The colour may well be one that depends on what else you choose to wear. I like the suggestion of blue as above.

    I have a soft spot for the 36 and I like it on the perlon. I couldn't wait for it to be released but didn't buy one because once I'd seen those tits they were all I could ever see. Now don't get me wrong, I love looking at tits, just not on a watch dial

    Both of the above look spot on to me

    The PRS-36 is a really versatile watch for straps considering it's style. Looks good on pretty much every strap I've seen it on, including this perlon.

    I've owned and since sold a PRS-36, but it wasn't from not loving the watch, needs must and all that.

    Mine are about 7.5". I'd expect it would fit pretty well on your flat wrist as there's not a lot of curve on the lugs:

    Here's mine, I can't remember where the strap came from, but it's a combination that I like. I have 6.75" 'flat' wrists. Liking the look of the brown perlon there.

    I've bought a PRS-36 and while I like the black strap it's supplied with, this one looks spot on, shame you can't remember where it came from!

    I have just worked out that it is a Darlena vintage look that came with a Speedbird III that I bought from TaketheCannoli. See the final photograph here: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...rd-III-Reduced

    I agree that it looks great on almost any strap and I think a cream perlon looks great. I tried this for a while but wasn't too sure.

    Thanks.
    It's a bund that I got in a sale from Steveostraps. Great value straps but to be honest I rarely use the large bund part that goes underneath the watch head and just use the strap.

    It looks a good result indeed.

    Thanks for the kind comments. It really is one of those models that looks good on a range of straps.

    It's not limited as far as I'm aware and they're still available on the Timefactors website.

    Love this watch esp. The boobies on the dial
    Perlon straps seem to suit it the best imo

    Question PRS-82 vs PRS-36 size difference

    Hi!

    I am considering to buy a PRS-36, bit I have some concerns about its size. With a diameter of only 37mm it seems to little to me, although I know, that due to its cushion shape, it wears bigger as it is. My wrist is 20 cm (7,9 inch)

    I have a PRS-82, and I love it. This one gets the most wristtime out of my collection including watches like Seamaster Aqua Terra 40mm, Tag Heuer Monaco, Chronoswiss Lunar Chronograph.

    Does anyone have both watches? If so what do you think guys, are these watches comnparable in size? Could anyone make a Photo of the two watches side by side?

    Thanks in advance!

    I have both. I'm away from home at the moment so this is the best that I can do from my stock of photographs and it's not great. Although the PRS-82 sees more use, I do wear the PRS-36 regularly, normally in more formal environments.



    The lug to lug is about 2mm less on the PRS-36, but the case shape makes it look much larger than the 37mm diameter. Compare it to the 36mm PRS-29A on the other side.
