Forgot to say that I have no. 540 here in Whitstable. Love wearing it on a NATO!

Add one more to the USA count: #458 has been just outside of Boston, MA since purchased from TF in NOV of 2017.
My second TF watch; first was a PRS 17.
Can't seem to upload any pics, even though systems identical to WUS, where I have shared pics of this watch many times.
What lead me to TF and this watch is interest in as accurate as possible reissues (vs homages) of historical divers. I was interested in Seiko's SLA017, their recent reissue if the 62MAS... well, all but the price. Not saying wasn't worth it, rather to fit one in at that time would have required flipping I didn't want to do. After a point i decided to jump in, but at that point only a handful were still available, and at a considerable mark up.
I had been interested in the PRS 82 when they were NOS, but they were sold out. So when the 2824 version was available decided to buy one.
One of my favorite watches and a definite keeper for this chronic flipper.
Treated myself to a gen2 for my birthday in February.
Eddie kindly let me have #555
It’s a beaut.
When worn it consistently looses 5 seconds a
day for 2 days then settles down to +/- 0
I think it contains a Platts micro gremlin to make you keep wearing it
