PRS-5

[Timelord]

It's a pity that there probably won't be any more PRS-5 or any other chronographs, but that's the way it goes I suppose.

Love my modified one.

The handset has been changed, the stock ones are the syringe shape.

What a difference the correct handset makes, no offence to Eddies choice of using syringe hands but they didn't quite work with the PRS-5 for my taste.

I'm also following the Newmark project with interest.

I like the syringe hands better. Reminds me of Sinn.

Eddie, may I ask whether a Poljot-movement version might work?
Thanks for the clarification on the Seagull movement issue, but I also see (from a sales post I think?) that you previously also used the Poljot movement.
My basic searches indicate that the Maktime factory may have closed, but new 3133 chronos seem to be readily available, so I can only assume someone else has taken over production.
Perhaps I am wrong

The last Poljot movements we got were supposed to have been "premium grade specially selected" because Felix Huber of Zeno knows the European MD of Poljot. They were so specially selected that we got 80 working movements out of a batch of 100.

Specially selected & you got a 20% failure rate = That'd be a definite NO! Wouldn't it...!!

I owned a modified PRS-5 as well. It had NOS Precista 6BB 7733 hands substituted and was just a beauty.

[magirus]

Each to his own, but there's one of the original PRS5s that will be staying as intended....

How come these say 'swiss made' on the dial?

[GuyIncognito]

Where do you think they're made?

[GuyIncognito]

Well that was unhelpful, I don't think they're just made in Switzerland - thats why I'm asking.

Given we have here a russian made movement and a sheffield owned company it's not just straight forward so if somebody could elaborate in a less retarded way that'd be much appreciated.

What a nice person.
