    That was very quick. Mine hasn’t made it to Lincoln yet and I ordered it at 0800.

    Try it with the 4th one from the top - the olive green one. I have a strap like that and would like to see what it looks like while I wait for mine to arrive.

    The grey that it arrived on looks good.

    What colour is the lume? Green or vintage?

    Congrats Deano, great service by Eddie, amazed you’ve received yours so quickly.

    Unless someone across the ditch in New Zealand grabbed one, I think mine has the furthest to travel.

    Looking forward to receiving mine!

    How's your bezel action?

    For me turning the bezel is like operating a tank, it's very rough / crunchy.
    (esp. as I turn the pip round the right-hand-side half)

    I'm just trying to knock together a video...
    Thanks

    My PRS18Q arrived this morning.

    I have to shoot out, so pics later, but it's a cracker as expected.

    It’s my shoulder number at work. I’ve had it for 18 years and will hopefully be keeping it for the next 18 years.

    Received mine today, initially dismayed to see what looked like 3 scratches on the lug, only to find out they were greasy marks now cleaned off.
    There's a little (half a click) back play in the bezel action, so not as rock solid as the PRS 18a that it's replaced, but still overall very pleased with the purchase and I think a great value quartz grab-n -go.

    I've also bought from Eddie a selection of NATO's, so will be trying those on it this afternoon.

    Anticipation is high on this one.
    I was up and ordering as soon as they were available in the hope they would be posted in time order.
    No dispatch note yet.
    Must be patient!

    I think this question has been asked already, but couldn't see it answered.
    Is Eddie sending out e-mails confirming dispatch?

    If you reset the time, it will probably change but I recommend you read this.

    Having had the PRS-18Q on my wrist all day the second had does seem to drift in and out of snyc with the second markers. Have just reset the time and it is now just over hitting the markers.

    However this is irrelevant.

    The watch is, to my mind, perfect.

    Styling, size, simplicity and proportion are exactly right.

    Nice one Eddie,

    This is the first time I've waited for a watch being made. Was well worth it in the end and such a buzz getting it after the long wait.

    Big thanks to Eddie for bringing another awesome watch together at such a great price.






    The white balance must be off on my phone cam because the lume isn't that creamy at all.

    Those are some great pictures. It seems to go really well with a blue strap.

    Really? Looks blue to me. You could be right - in the publicity pictures in the other thread, it looked like it was on a blue strap, but maybe that was the grey one as well.

    I'm just twiddling my fingers while I wait for mine to arrive.

    Regardless of whether the strap in the picture is blue or grey, I think it'll look on a blue one. Will give me something to look for...

    #16 arrived, bezel is nice and tight, second hand is spot on, blasted grey stainless steel looks awesome and the Nato lifts the edgy watch nicely away from my fragile wrist. Very happy.
