    Eddie,

    Please confirm the 12, 3, 6 & 9 numerals are infilled with luminova and is the bezel luminous like the previous PRS-50.

    Thanks

    Re: This old thing

    That's great - infilled numerals are a definite improvement on the original BP version - in my opinion, of course. Oh, and furthermore, the decision for no date window was entirely correct for this model, even if it didn't please everybody here.

    Cheers
    David

    Size is as the previous model:

    42mm Ø without crown
    50.7mm lug to lug length
    15.3mm case height or thereabouts

    Hope that helps

    I'd say font size ´6´ ...very difficult to read, esp. in that colour! :wink:

    Sorry, could not resist :lol: .

    And JHM - who could blame You! :wink:

    Re: This old thing

    I've always managed to find fault with previous Precista models, whether the font is wrong or the hands are wrong or there are too many dots or the batons are too small or big. There's always some little thing that I find to put me off. That, however, from the pictures, is perfect. (I do admit I am ultra fussy.)

    [quote="ChronoCop"]Thanks David - that's what I was afraid of ... :(

    Too big or too small for you Chrono-Cop?? 42mm is very wearable in my opinion for a sports watch. My wrist circumference is only 7.25", but 42mm works just fine for me.

    Cheers
    David

    Re: This old thing

    It will cost more than the first PRS-50 because of the extra cost of the dial and hands and a worse exchange rate than when I paid for the PRS-50 but it will be under £400.
