    That's excellent, and no worries, I added you to the list when you initially posted.

    I can't let the already stupendous response pass without comment, it really underlines what a fantastic community this is. Many thanks to those who have sent messages of encouragement and offers of practical support. You know who you are.

    Given my comment above, I think that there's a fair chance of you having the opportunity to not win the other watch at a later date

    Sounds excellent! I think I'll try to max out my bad luck in this raffle hoping that the tide will be ready to turn at the next. Four more please.

    PRS-82 Updated Photographs and Information

    I have taken some slightly better photographs of the PRS-82 as the lighting wasn't great when I took the earlier ones. It catches the sunlight beautifully and really is in superb condition. I also remembered that there has always been a clear caseback sticker in place to protect from 'NATO rash'.

    I was under the mistaken impression that only the first 200 watches had the original ETA 2783 movement, however I’ve found a post by Eddie from September 2016 stating that it was 500. I’ve amended the description in the opening post and apologies for any confusion. http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...=1#post4097263

    PRS-82 Timekeeping

    I set the watch precisely on Thursday evening and have kept it well wound since. Apart from when I have been moving it to spin the rotor It has been resting about equally either on the caseback or crown up. I've checked the timekeeping this morning after about 60 hours and it has gained just three seconds.



    And I neglected to mention one of the most important accessories! Of course it will come with a Timefactors microfibre cleaning cloth.

    Many thanks for the support. There's almost exactly a week still to run so plenty of time for a few more participants to sign up

  11. #61
    Please put me down for 30 donation (6 tickets) if not too late. If it is too late please keep the donation just made and my fault for not donating in a more timely manner.

    Brilliant, thanks! Yes, we let these run for a fortnight to give everyone a fair chance to get involved should they wish to.

    We lost Ian four years ago today, four days before his 47th birthday. It was a terrible shock. Sadly nobody close to him had any real idea of his state of mind, but it doesn't stop you from questioning whether there was something that you could or should have done to make things turn out differently. I had been chatting with him two days earlier and he had been his usual outwardly jovial self, laughing and cracking jokes.

    A few days later his friends started to receive gifts of his personal belongings in the post. Some treasured 'Q' magazine special editions turned up on my desk along with British chocolate themed fridge magnets for the children. It was heartbreaking, but I also got incredibly annoyed with him for not sharing his true feelings or asking for help.

    As well as promoting the principle that it is not weak to be open about your feelings, and offering people like Ian a place to turn to for support and understanding, CALM provides a number of very useful resources for those dealing with emotions such as shock, disbelief, sadness, guilt, anger and depression.

    PRS-82 all boxed up and ready to travel to the UK tonight. Grandma has been dispatched to purchase a fresh book of raffle tickets ready for Laura to make the draw on Sunday afternoon. I'll hear the outcome shortly afterwards. There's still a couple of days left to participate before this closes!

    One More Day

    Laura will make the draw in roughly 24 hours, supervised by Alison. I'll close the raffle for entries at 3pm UK time on Sunday. They have just touched down at Heathrow and are once again experiencing the joys of transferring between Terminal 2 to Terminal 5.

    Laura will draw the winning tickets in reverse order to the prize list below. The first ticket out will be for the Martú calf strap with the fifth and final ticket being for the PRS-82.

    The Prizes

    1. Precista Royal Navy Diver PRS-82
    2. Seagull 1963 38mm chronograph donated by JackW
    3. A made to measure Alligator watch strap from Andrea at Martú.
    4. A made to measure Tweed watch strap from Andrea at Martú.
    5. A made to measure Calf watch strap from Andrea at Martú.




    And as it is Ian's birthday I shall be taking advantage of the peace and quiet to have a pleasant reminisce.
