    Anti-magnetic dust cover inside the new batch PRS-29A

    Just had a peek inside my newly purchased 29A and the anti-magnetic dust cover is securely placed in the case back with a gasket holding it firmly in place..

    I originally panicked and thought it was missing, but it's definitely in there.

    Thank you Eddie for explaining, panic now over. :D

    I've seen the same watches with and without a dust cover... Most people don't reach that place, I guess, so perhaps cutting costs knowing people won't notice ?

    Maybe, but I very much doubt it, there can't be much cost involved in adding a dust cover.

    So, you have examples both with and without covers?

    I appreciate the reply.

    Assuming you've emailed Eddie, what's he said?

    Reminds me of my Aerowatch, I very much doubt that Eddie is aware. When you know something is missing, even though it has no impact on the function of the watch, it will be impossibly hard to accept.

    I'm not opening mine

    Just sent Eddie a PM, no reply as yet, but I understand that it's the weekend, so hopefully I will hear back Tuesday when the shop re-opens.

    I've removed thae case backof both models of the PRS-29 and found the dust cover stuck inside the case back (it's a tight fit). I must ask the question why you would remove the back of a new watch and invalidate the warranty?

    Yep, it was stuck in the back, held tightly in place with a gasket.

    Thank you Eddie, panic now over. :D

    Loss of warranty is not an issue as I use an independent for jobs that are beyond my capabilities.

    Amending the title and first post may go some way as an apology for being wrong and jumping the gun
