    PRS-3 Arrived

    Ordered on Sun at 12:01, got a call from the missus this morning at 08:00 :

    "A Package has arrived from Sheffield . . . from a Mr Platts"

    Now that is a speedy delivery.

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    I reckon mine must be the first to hit.

    It couldn't possibly have arrived any sooner.

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Did you guys that have received watches get despatch notes yesterday?

    Be aware that due to the fastidious way Eddie packs the watches it will take him a while to get through all the orders - my PRS50LE took a week to arrive, some people got them after a couple of days...

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Got mine, #7/50. Blue. No pics yet but it's good, lads. It's heavy and good. It needs a link taking out for my wrist so it'd fit an 8" wrist easily.
    I was surprised to find the blue bezel is metallic. The AR works really well. Bezel and dial colour match until you angle it into the sunlight (such as we have on this rainy morning) when the bezel glows.
    Crown and setting work smoothly.
    Whilst it isn't of major importance to me the bezel doesn't quite line up on the 12, always a danger with a 60-click one. The bezel is smoother in operation than the one on the 18Q.
    The extra U-boat quartz was quite a surprise; made me laugh. Nice one Eddie, thanks.

    I did get a dispatch note yesterday.

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Thought I would try it on the only 22mm Nato I have,


    I might put the Orange strap on the Submersible u boat style watch, which is a whopper at 55mm inc the crown.

    So the first 'in the wild' pictures are out there! Looks fantastic, I must say. especially on that NATO.

    Now that 55mm quartz is quite something..

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    A quick question. Did you guys get an order conformation from Timefactors when you placed your orders on Sunday?
    I placed my order but didn’t receive any conformation

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    You should have received an email from sagepay and one from Eddie Platts.

    When Eddie sends them he sends a despatch note email.

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Nothing for me :( but I did leave home at 7am.

    Scared to phone the wife to see "...if a parcel has arrived..." I am trying to keep this one under wraps !

    I guess I will just have to wait and see.

    Saying that, i didn't erceive a dispatch email but did get an Eddcie confirmation at 12:03pm on Sunday :D

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Good to see the first couple appearing in the wild. I didn't get my order in until Monday morning, so I suspect mine won't arrive until the end of the week at the earliest, but rather looking forward to it now! Haven't had a bright coloured dial for a while now and it'll be nice to have something cheery on the wrist.

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    My first post.

    Congratulations to all the new owners, as usual they look even better 'on the wrist'.

    It was my Birthday on Sunday (a BIG one) and I had been waiting for these for ages having missed out on other limited editions for various reasons, particularly the Dreadnought and vowed it wouldn't happen again.

    So, what happened at 1200 ? I sat there and couldn't make up my mind on the colour ..........................................for 24 hours :drunken:

    I am officially a moron............. :cry:

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Orange #4/50 arrived 20 minutes ago ...

    I was little confused as I saw the other watch first when opening the case!

    Quick and dirty wrist shot (I haven't attempted to resize the bracelet ...)

    As I said on the last page, my Blue came today. #7. Can't get pics out just now though, annoyingly.

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Received a delivery this morning.... of a card from the postman to say he "tried" to deliver a Special Delivery package. He couldn't have tried very hard, because I was at home :evil:

    Never mind. I'll pick it up on the way into town tomorrow. Nice to see some pics of those that have arrived though ;)

    'All good things come to those that wait' and judging by the photos, the PRS3 looks very good indeed. Looking forward to the first on-wrist photo of a black LE...

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Wow!! Those pics are amazing!! The watch case looks amazing! I love the way it looks on the wrist. The Orange dial is very nice! As usual they look way better in the wild then in the professional photos.

    Looks great with the Nato or the bracelet 8)

    I am drooling :compress: :colors: :thumbleft:

    You guys in the UK are lucky!! I have to say I like the hand set better in real life as well.

    Thanks for the photo, it looks great, I can't wait for mine.

    Nothing when I got home, not even a visiting card from the postie !

    ...but, got my dispatch email from Eddie through. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow.

    Just need to persuade the wife to hang around home (I should have had it delivered to my work address :roll: )

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    Yellow #4 has safely arrived.

    Perfectly sized watch.

    It's adjusted and on now as I watch the Darts on Sky.

    Absolutely smitten.

    Blue 4 here - the bracelet was a PITA to adjust, but now its on my wrist it loks great. Nice and solid and a god size.

  47. #47

    Re: PRS-3 Arrived

    My advice is to take the bracelet off the head before unscrewing links.

    Much easier.

    Cheers,
    Martin.

    Great shot. You are too modest.

    Blue#6 has arrived and your shot captures the beauty of the Blue PRS-11 model. It is also magficent in bright sunlight. Great dial and bezel color , both in shade and in finish chosen.

    Pics later as I've been doing some pond work while waiting for it to arrive.

    Eddie, you will definitely break some hearts around here if you don't do another blue series.
