I went back a few pages and couldn't find a Speedbird owners thread so I thought I'd start off with a pic of mine that came in from Eddie before the bank holiday.
Specs of the watch:
- 80,000 A/m or 1005 gauss (equivalent to the Rolex Milgauss and IWC pilots watches)
- 10 bar water resistant and 0.4 bar negative pressure tested
- ETA 2824 Top Grade movement
- 39mm case diameter excluding crown
- 20mm lug width
The 2824 "Top" grade movement is adjusted in 5 positions and has an improved main spring, shock protection system, pallet stones, balance wheel and hairspring over the "Elaborated" grade movement.
Additional features:
- Soft iron antimagnetic dial
- Antimagnetic movement dust cover and retaining ring
- Crown tube threaded into case.
- Slightly domed sapphire crystal with AR coating on inside
- Super Luminova C3
PRS-22 Speedbird 3 on a Timefactors branded aviator.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Great lume too; it makes the watch look so much larger!

Both long gone now :(
Series, paralell would be ridiculous.......................
I ordered one a few hours ago but it's for my 30th in July so I've got to wait a little while...must be patient, must be patient...

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
The PRS-1
Like I was...both times!
My SBIII with top movement
My SBI
My Creambird rarest of the SB Dynasty by all accounts
surely that accolade belongs to the goldbird?
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I do love a Speedbird. I would rather like an ivory dial to go with this one someday.
I believe so although the creambird isn't far behind.
I recall Eddie mentioning that there were 100 made but 50 redialled black because of insufficient demand.

Apologies your correct! it's one of the rarest of the none limited editions perhaps would have been a better statement as it wasn't that popular according to Eddie
just had a quick shufty at the website, it says a total of 38 goldies were made, but with a choice of three different dials
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I wonder where they are now?

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
They put in a rare appearance.

^^ good find clouseau!
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I'm guessing that the ivory dial Goldbird is the rarest version. I think that there were 50 of the ladies version made, an even more unusual sight in these parts.
very rarely see the chrono either, i really wanted one of those at one point
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
The ivory dial Goldbird and the Lady Speedbird do remain elusive....
These two have gone...
...but this is here to stay...
But have you bought number 3 yet?Like I was...both times!

Amazing collection! I have only 3/8 of those
The ivory dial Goldbird and the Lady Speedbird do remain elusive....
No, you don't need one yet!
I bow to your superior precistaness roger

No superiority here Dave. Just a passion, patience and the reckless willingness to part with my hard earned cash!
A very nice murmuration of Speedbirds there Mr Glick
WOW!!
I own two Speedbirds, Mk I & a Mk II both bought a long time ago.
But I never thought I'd find people who own as many as eight !!
Will have to sort my photo's out.
Regards ........... Gary.
The original, and still the best

am its second owner , 6'ish years old ??? , bought from this forum sales page earlier this year, used but not abused - my monday to friday watch.
Assuming SBIII GMT variants are allowed, here is mine:
Was originally after an IWC, but this is such a great watch, except for perhaps a future Mark XII, it has scratched the itch
I really will have to try one of these especially since the SBIII got text on the dial.
Anyone know how many have been produced with the text on dial and top movement?
Well, I guess there is one person who knows for sure :-)
That is the current available specification and the watch I have on my wrist right now :-)
From my former home state of Wyoming.
Sadly my specimen came without the original bracelet - I wonder what the previous owner(s) did with it.
Fortunately the SBIII looks good with a wide variety of straps. Here it is on a RIOS Colorado and Eddie's YAB:

Maybe they sold it to me. A few years ago I bought one to see if it would fit on a Stowa flieger. It didn't so I have a Speedbird bracelet but no Speedbird. PM me if you are interested...Sadly my specimen came without the original bracelet - I wonder what the previous owner(s) did with it.

Sold this one some time back, have owned a few of Eddie's since and still have an Everest.
respect!
( and a hint of jealousy :))

Just back from a service with Brendan Webwatchmaker and I can honestly say I am delighted with the results. I purchased this watch from Eddie in 2004 and would never part with it.
I do like the gmt version...
I like the speedbird full stop, but the orange accent on the gmt seems to make all the difference
