    Just a guess but I think time is up for a 2017 release. Think Timefactors xmas holiday starts 14th December?

    I was informed yesterday that the longer hands everyone wanted won't be here for another 2 weeks so this won't be the Christmas watch I was counting on. Disappointed doesn't even come close.

    As an aside, has the Smiths chronograph been shelved?

    Understand the disappointment fully. But looking at it positively, it will be a great way to start 2018.

    Thanks for the update Eddie. I like the longer hands so for me it'll be worth the wait.

    Eddie,

    can you confirm whether the new PRS 18Q is to have a brushed or blasted case please.

    Ooooh!! What an update! Looks great.

    Do you want to share a possible timeframe or possible pricing??

    What are the final specs on this?

    Excellent, very clean looking and hands look to be of proper length, sign me up.

    Just curious, how big is this batch with the COSC movements? And are there any other changes to the case/bezel? I owned a PRS18 auto and found the bezel a bit gritty.

    Kind Regards,
    Catalin

    The bezel on the first prototype felt good. It's the same diameter as the previous one but it's a bit slimmer.

    Quite fancy one of these, having a super accurate quartz with no date makes it ideal for the pick up and go watch when a gshock won't do.

    By slimmer do you mean the horizontal width, i.e. the height of the numbers? Or vertical height?

    I have a PRS18-A, but I find the bezel just a little too high.

    Maybe it's the width of the insert that's slimmer? Kind of looks like it.

    Woohoo. Almost to the “Official” photography stage, with the Timefactors watermark.

    Have to say I really like this. Most of Eddie's have been a little long lug end to lug end for my girls wrists, but this looks great

    Any chance of number 77 or 777 Eddie???

    These are looking great! Eddie, will you be sending out an announcement to the Timefactors email list when they go on sale?

    FedEx has had them for a few days, stating that the required documentation was missing. Two days later they phone me and say that they've now found it (it wasn't lost) and would raise the import invoice immediately. They didn't, they didn't raise it yesterday either and they hadn't raised it when I phoned this morning. I paid them almost 7 grand over the phone and they said they would send me a copy of the invoice and a receipt via e-mail. Four hours later and they still haven't.

    They said the watches will be delivered on Monday but I won't be holding my breath.
