Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
That PRS-6 WWW watch looks very interesting! its not calming my eagerness to buy a PRS-29A at all!!! alas an imminent house move has scuppered that for a few months. And knowing my luck they will be out of stock by the time I have the spare cash!! Hows stock on those Eddie?
Where does time go? I joined not long after this.
My how times change
Couldn't agree more about the Everest, a lot of watch for the money, bought one in March/April as a holiday watch, but wear it quite a lot.
Cheers

Seriously that was 14yrs ago.... Blimey where has the time gone!

Just looked at the tz-uk archive, shame I could not log in and see sales corner! I am sure I remember lots of new rolexes @ below RRP, particularly those being shipped from new York by 'the general', or is my mind playing tricks on me?
Indeed... Yes I think that Eddie is saying that he still has about 60 (out of 200) of the PRS-29A... Not that he still has 60 in stock of PRS-6... At least I think that is what it means... If not there will be a nervous queue forming to purchase some Broadarrow PRS-6's!!! ;-)

^^^^Stunning!!!
that is very nice indeed (nice photo too), So Eddie, is it about time you re-issued some of these???
That’s the price I paid 14 years ago as a nipper in university for my prs 3 broad arrow. Then regretfully sold it to redmonaco. My mother still has the broadarrow flight case style box to keep odd bits of jewellery in. Time has flown .
The forum seemed smaller (obviously it was) Ming thein and Crusader on every corner educating me on mil spec watches . Everyone seemed to want or have traser watches back then and the ‘collections’ were all aspired towards mil watches . Not all the bling of today

I bought the 'Eterna "Anatomic" 25 Jewel Automatic Date - New Old Stock circa 1967'.
Still have it.
Really like the look of that Aéro Pilot. Only14 years too late for it.

Never mind 14 years ago, how about today (unless this is old news or my eyes are deceiving me)
Do you remember it vividly ? I do it was lengthy to say the least with all the mil-specification numbers allocated for certain batches of watches, the military blueprints for the design requirements- rather like Eddies design spec breakdowns on the time factors watches subforum and site .

I certainly do. Happy days. Thanks, Crusader . ;-)
Edit. I see abraxas posted in that thread, I bought my DA37 from him after no little pestering, back in 2007 I think it was.

The "good old days" eh?
Long before my time, didn't know about Timefactors in those days.
Good stuff Eddie :)
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Ah the good old days of Glycine and checking through the A to Z in watch sales to see what had come in❤️❤️
I was here - cannot believe that much time has passed!!
Around the time I joined - nice to see some names on the member list that are still here!.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
The price increases are shocking, but also how fast the years have passed....

That web archive website is really cool. Just had a look on a whole bunch of websites I used to visit 15 years ago. Gives you a bit of nostalgia trip :)
Oh wow, so nostalgic. A couple of years before I joined but still brings back a lot of memories.
