    Yeah I know TF did something similar some time ago, but if Eddie doesn't pull his finger out I might end up down by about 12k (joke).

    There's this one available on eBay for what I think is a bargain price of £249!

    And my old PRS-50-B is for sale in Taiwan for <cough> $1999

    It's such a long way from being close.

    Yeah a smiths dirty dozen would be a thing of beauty for sure. Interesting that the spec sheet lists it as 38, would have imagined it as a 36?

    Same here, 36mm would be the ideal case size for a piece of this calibre as 38mm may look a little too large due to the large dial space in my opinion.

    Yeah I thought this, I think the subsecond dial needs to be a little squished in so to speak for it to look right? Glad to know it’s not just my obsession with 36mm pieces that’s swaying my opinion!

    Last two models shown in this thread would both be on my list.
    But since TimeFactors Watches are made out of unobtanium, it doesn't really matter / I don't care what gets made or not, as I will sadly be unable to add it to my collection.

    I agree, it looks better at 36mm.

    That looks great. It would great with a period correct strap. Maybe a collaboration with A.F.0210

    Was just looking at my Haveston canvas strap thinking that would be perfect for this watch, and then I had to go and look at af0210 - thank you for spending my money for me

    I was thinking about a 2-piece in the style of the A.F.0210 so you don't have the extra piece under the back.

    Now that is a dream watch. Perfect answer to everything people didn't like about Cabot's offering, and a good alternative to Timor, Vertex, Baltany and the discontinued Vaer (and more in line with my personal preferences to boot!)

    Hopefully this comes to fruition

    Just noticed the addition of a broadarrow too, definitely love that - think I'd just assumed it was there before!

    Hi Eddie is there a rough time frame to when this might get released?

    Slightly away from the current conversation, but some facsimile of this would be unbelievable
