What a great watch. Fits perfectly, a little heavy but the dial is stunning. The hands are a big improvement too.

I don't know how you managed to get so many watches dispatched Eddie, you are one amazing character...
Sorry about the finger print on the lug ;-(
Beautiful pics !
Arrived and fitted on the sea bound coast...
This one was for my father, I’m hopefully going to capture a 36mm one.

Really impressed with this, love how the crystal shows such a rich blue. Really great value.

Apologies if I've missed it, but what's the lug-to-lug going to be on the 36mm please Eddie? Thanks, Andy
I reckon it is 44mm lug to lug.
I'm confused too.

Thanks guys, that figures. I looked at the spec sheet but must’ve missed that!
At first I thought I didn't like the new dial (I have the original version.) But looking at it now, in the thread, it really seems quite nice. Darker black, longer minute hand, smaller hash marks (neutral for me..I love the original dial). But with a sapphire crystal now, it could be a daily wearer (I am brutal on my watches, banging them into doorframes, cabinets, etc. Woe be to acrylic crystals...mineral glass is just hopeless on my wrist.)
I was considering the 36, a bit small, but I thought it would work well with a suit. But I'd get a lot more wrist-time out of the larger PRS-25, and I am pretty content with my SARB035 as my "suit" watch. So, now I'm thinking I might just get the new PRS-25, and leave it on the bracelet.
BTW: I note the specs say the lume is C3, but in Kippax's pics, it looks pretty blue. (Maybe my monitor?) Is it perhaps BGW9? I'm fine either way, just wondering. Well, blue would be cool...

More I look at this one, more I like it...
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I saw it on somebody else's wrist yesterday and thought how good it looked. It's quite rare that I see one of my watches on somebody else's wrist "in the flesh".

Wow, excellent watch, definitely go on my wishlist.
What are the chances of being able to purchase the 36mm version before Christmas?
I've been told it *should* be ready at the beginning of December. Even if it is, it then depends on how long shipping and customs clearance takes. You probably know I close down for Christmas in the middle of December because in the years when I didn't, ordering fell off sharply from the middle of the month, probably because customers think it's too late to guarantee delivery in time for Christmas.

cant wait for the 36mm!
From placing the order to placing on my wrist in approx 35 hours. Finally replaced the only watch I've ever regretted flipping. Worth the wait. One happy camper here. Cheers

As a fan of smaller watches, and the owner of a 114270 Explorer 1, I’m sure the 36mm version will be excellent.
Although it doesn't look like it in the picture, the dial is the same colour as the PRS-29 Air Ministry.

16mm taper all day long.
F.T.F.A.
Now you're talking. Yes please.
Bravo! The new black dial looks great...and now a white! Timefactors Labs are working overtime :-)

Is that also the possible riveted bracelet??
