No. I've secured some ETA2892A2 for the Vanguard, which is another reason I've never got any money. I could get it chronometer certified but that costs 90 euros now :( .So Mr Platts, could some of these end up in the Vanguard?
I'm not a betting man, but would bet that the answer NO will have >50 (%) probability.
Obviously saying this as I already have an LE '50 and am desperate for a Vanguard.....

So, the Vanguard will somewhat be limited Eddie?
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
The news that the Vanguard will be 2892 is good, definitely want to be in on that one!

Oh Yes!
Lume filled applied markers would be nice.
I'm in love with yet another Precista! :drunken:
I've got one question...how am I going to afford this with a wedding and a house move to pay for this year?!
I know this is really too far ahead to tell, but very roughly, how long would this take to get to market? (Purely so I know how much money to put aside every month!) :D
Now that's a question to which there is no real answer. When I ordered the new PRS-3 last year I was given a delivery time of 90 days. 90 days is long gone and still no sign.

Thought that might be the case....I'm glad I got my hands on a current PRS-50 to tide me over until this one arrives...I've already decided I'm buying one! :D
My brain tells me that havng the PRS 50, I should not be buying it. But I know too well that I will buy it... :) :( :) :( :) :(
PS: I do not want a date. I am sure I will not buy it with a date. Well, almost sure :? .
nice design, any chance of a lefty version? or do i feel and eddie specialcoming on?

I don't believe the dial feet are symmetrical, so not likely.
Wonderful, but for me I would like to see the case and bezel metalwork more like the original in that photograph.
Eddie will this one be another full lume bezel like the last 50?
That’s a hard one. I didn’t realise that there was ever going to be a different PRS-50. To me, the only advantage of the Mk2 (at this moment) is the little Great Britain at the bottom … but I am sure the new model will please all the people who couldn’t live with the No-Radiation symbol.
How about we put one of these Mk2 on a passaround?
The subdued ‘yellow’ minute track is far better than the original bright white.
That's a good question ... I just automatically assumed the answer to be yes.

Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Look very nice. Is the price going to be similar to the existing PRS-50, or is it undecided as yet?
I'd be interested in that.
I love the buzz of a new Timefactors creation. Can't wait....just like the release of the SBIII. :D
Me too, actually. Would be interesting to compare to my LE.I'd be interested in that.

Will definitely get one!
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Me too. Eddie can I ask will this be on a bracelet or strap or both? :)
I want one too. I was not yet 100% sure of the current PRS50 but this MKII seems will be great.
I wasn't planning on a bracelet.Me too. Eddie can I ask will this be on a bracelet or strap or both? :)

Thank you for this picture
Very nice and in "Esprit" (spirit) of the LIP version, i love it
One for me
but same price of the actual PRS-50 ?
Does the pound buy as many euros (watches) as it did before?
Eddie

+1I'd be interested in that.
Would the numbers on the dial be lumed?
No 20% less
Good price for French people now :D (live is very expensive in UK for us)
I think that was meant as a rhetorical question.No 20% less

Oh, and by the way, new user here. :-)
My name is Lambert, I live in Berlin, and I have no military affiliation or pedigree whatsoever (what’s the equivalent of 4F in the UK?). Merely looking for a new watch when I got sucked in.
Not a native speaker either, so if you find any fault with my writing please advise, by all means.
Cheers,
Lambert
Superb, Eddie. I wouldn't need a date on this one... I have lots of others with a date!

Is 4F like the Territorial Army??? :?
Anyway back on subject - do you like the new PRS-50??!!
Cheers
Jim
Welcome. Enjoy.
I believe 4F is unfit for duty.... I'm sure Lambert will say if I'm wrong. ;)
In the American classification, it’s more like “useless”, “unfit,” “washout,” or “Group W. bench” (if you’ve seen “Alice’s Restaurant”). In the event of a crisis, I’m a hostage. :-)
I sure like the watch it pays homage to. If I had to pick a nit, it seems that the Precista’s bezel is much more substantial, to a degree that I still have to get used to.Anyway back on subject - do you like the new PRS-50??!!
Classification 4-F (or IV-F) is not “useless,” or a “washout.” There are a number of reasons a person is not qualified for military service, injury, mental capacity, medical reasons...

* I-A-0: Conscientious objector available for noncombatant military service only
* I-C: Member of the armed forces of the U.S., the Coast and Geodetic Survey, or the Public Health Service
* I-D: Member of reserve component or student taking military training
* I-0: Conscientious objector available for civilian work contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest
* I-S: Student deferred by statute (High School)
* I-Y: Registrant available for military service, but qualified for military only in the event of war or national emergency
* I-W: Conscientious objector performing civilian work contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest
* II-A: Registrant deferred because of civilian occupation (except agriculture or activity in study)
* II-C: Registrant deferred because of agricultural occupation
* II-S: Registrant deferred because of activity in study
* III-A: Registrant with a child or children; registrant deferred by reason of extreme hardship to dependents
* IV-A: Registrant who has completed service; sole surviving son
* IV-B: Official deferred by law
* IV-C: Alien
* IV-D: Minister of religion or divinity student
* IV-F: Registrant not qualified for any military service
* V-A: Registrant over the age of liability for military service
IV-C: Alien
See they do walk among us and the goverment knows.
This poor chap was looking for evidence of 'extraterrestrial' activity and bumped into secret US military satellites. Funny how words can confuse issues.

Strangely enough, the area the hacker lived, Crouch End (about half a mile up the road) is famous for UFOs coming and going:

Oh no...I have been toying with my aversion to most things rolex, but am drawn to the sub no date, especially when one was on sc for 2k in the last few days. Also drawn to the 50 fathom...tried to like the 'old' 50, just dont like the coloured disc. Like the 300m apart from the second markers. Had resolved to maybe look for a sub and now have stumbled on the New 50! Love it, want one... will have to spend longer clicking on TZ-UK and thus make my wife suspicious that I have found another watch. Any indication of how many are going to be made? {were you going to use all 200 movements for this one Eddie?}
Isn’t that a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin?
This is the only UFO I want to see.

Any interest in adding 'automatic incabloc' above the 6, so the dial script resembles the original?
That's a pretty stunning piece. Congrats again Eddie.Like the missus likes it... here's a very quick and very dirty:
That really is very impressive. No way to get a date onto that dial without spoiling it IMHO.
Is the plan to use the same case? So the same thickness?
Same case, different bezel, dial and crystal.

Is the case going to be polished, blasted or brushed? I would prfer not polished so it looks different than the current 50
