    PRS-17Q (many photos!)

    A few photos of another Precista watch I've been wearing a lot:









    The term 'torch' is over-used, but the PRS-17Q is certainly a goer. Much like the DN, I find this watch's lume to be intense after just a few minutes in the sun or under fluorescent lights.





    We've been having crazy weather latterly. Clear blue and 22 last week and then a serious shamal just the other day that shut everything down.





    Not too many comments since the watch is still new to me. I like the size and weight very much for a field watch and the lume is excellent, as mentioned. I like the styling of the PRS-18 a bit more and that will most likely be my next Precista purchase.

    Bravo! The Mesopotamian light becomes the watch well. Great pictures.

    Best of luck down there,

    Great pics Colin! I originally got mine intending to wear it just on the weekends. It's now the watch I wear the most.

    Great pics. My 17Q gets a lot more use than I thought it would.

    Nice pics Colin. I never thought of trying the canvas on it. Looks good.

    Fantastic pics Colin,

    I agree that the watch looks fantastic on the canvas.

    All the best,
    Vic :)

    17A

    My first Timefactors watch was the PRS-17A. I saw it on another forum and I thought, "what the hell." I love it and wear it on one of Eddie's bond NATO's and it looks great. This is not a flashy watch. But it is unique and it just works. Wonderful watch and it got me hooked on TimeFactors.

    Lume is fab

    I'm currently on a 2 month exile from Taiwan to Washington DC and had to choose just two watches to come with me.
    General wear PRS-17Q, I have to say that in the dark nights of Maryland the lume is fantastic, even at 6am in the morning reading the watch without a light is easy.

    The other watch is a PRS-10, not been worn yet and I now wish I'd brought the PRS-53H instead as it would have got more use.

    Still can't get over how excellent the PRS-17Q's lume is, never in Taipei does it get dark enough to see it like that!

    This picture made me take a closer look at the watch and now I've got one incoming. Cheers.

    Just realised I never thank you gents for the compliments. They go Eddie's way too! The '17 is a well-executed re-issue of the original, which I just happened to get my hands on a few months ago and it's finally arrived. It's the '88 version, with the big triangle. Other than the BT, I prefer the newer version (guess I'll be getting that '18 then :lol: )

    GREAT photos: composition, colour, coherence, real historical background.
    You people pamper Eddie too much. :D

    Nalu, I hope Eddie doesn´t forget you on your birthday. I bet you are his best salesman.
