    Yes.

    It took almost a year to get more movements, I eventually got some a couple of weeks ago. The PRS-29A should be back in stock in about 3 months.

    Good article and nice to see. I'm lucky to own both the 29a and a W10, did a comparison some time back....

    Eddie, would it be possible, with the hopefully successful vote to leave the EU coming up shortly,
    to make the GREAT BRITAIN type slightly larger on the next batch of 29A's???

    Love my 29a. Don't change a thing.

    My 4th arrived today; I loved the others but never found a strap that could match the watch head for simplicity and elegance.

    I think this Eulit perlon might be up to the job.

    It also looks at home on a Timefactors Braided Black Nato/G10 strap. The PRS-29B in particular suits the hardware on Eddie's braided strap.

    They look good and i am thinking about one for my PRS18Q.

    My preference for the Eulit version is based on the ability to adjust it to a perfect fit removing the need for a NATO "lump". It's easier to justify that with a dive watch where the available extension is useful.

    Indeed, I have one fitted to my W10, sadly my 29a has now been sold along along with pretty much all my other timepieces(needs must). The W10 is staying though.

    That is just about perfect. Its my horological centre of gravity, one true resonant frequency. It took a while to recognise that.
