That's better. You're learning.

I'm not sure exactly but is there a change in the set-up - as in will the Shop open Longer - but the delivery be extended?
Personally, if I got my order in (and for the avoidance of doubt I won't be this time as the watches I want aren't in) - I'd be happy to wait 1 to 2 months for it.
I think what the frustration has been recently is that the shops been upon and closed within 5 or less minutes - but this seems to be when its been opening up every 2-weeks.
If say, it opened with a 30 (or a least 15) minute window - and then, only open again when the ordered watches had been sent (even if that were 4-5 weeks or longer), I think that might be more preferable then a potential of 5 minutes only.
Just a thought.
I'm afraid it's you who doesn't understand Mr Arrow. It's a set up unlike anywhere else, and that's why most here like it. There are no fanboys here, the owner funds and runs the place as he wishes and that's fine for most. Best to read the forum widely, absorb the vibe and perhaps understanding will come to you.
LOL! Very true - You do have to be patient and persistent! I apply for Glasto tickets every year and surprisingly for the last 8 years (with the help of a couple of family members) I get them each time. I, like thousands of others, are ready at the time the ticket portal opens and for about 30 - 40 minutes I log on, get kicked out, log on again and so on until we get through. The few times we miss out and whilst disappointing is really not the end of the world for us.
For me, I like the Timfactors watches and I too have missed out on the Sunday 'sale' as, like at Glastonbury, I missed the 'opening' slot. Bummer - not to worry, I found a second hand one with which I am very pleased - so much so I will probably, when funds allow, purchase another. I will go on the site and try again. If Im not successful ..............I don't mind as has already been pointed out - there are other watches out there. I also appreciate that Eddie is running the show on his own and these things take time.
I do wonder in this 'modern' world that we have become a tad impatient and are spoiled by the 'got to have it now next day delivery' option that seems to rule our purchasing choices.
I quite enjoy the buying experience, anticipating 14:00 coming round checking my watch constantly, refreshing the site. Bingo it's open select item and pay. Lovely watch arrives shortly after whats not to like.
The 30 minute open (see post #6) is a good move - it'll let people order some of the older models & straps without being locked out by the scrum for the new models.
I'll probably try for Baby Speedbird and move on my standard sized one (which looks a little chunky on me), no rush if miss out.
I do wonder just how many people try on order - is it just a few dozen regulars grabbing everything in sight or are there hundreds?
anyone know what time the ordering is opening at ?
Hope I'm not opening up a can of worms here but does anyone know if the PRS29 will be available for order on the 2nd?Many thanks
The store does say that the Air Ministry (White Dial) is in stock - although that must be very low.
Otherwise I believe its a wait on the movements - which is likely to be a longish time.
I'm intending to order the Black Dial version myself when it becomes available.
timefactor website has updated the site with below updates, unfortunately it didn't mention anything about PRS-25s.
Three new 'Baby' models available from 14:00hrs British Summer Time
on Sunday 2nd August:
PRS-51 Baby Speedbird
PRS-52 Baby Dreadnought
PRS-68 Baby 'Willard'
I'm hopeful the new batch will still be available to order coming Sunday.
question, if it does will the new batch with the new logo look, to be purchase through this link (the previous batch version) https://www.timefactors.com/prs25black.htm
I am not Eddie, but from one of his previous post's the new batch of PRS-25's are due in August and he did post also that they will have the new Smith's logo. I don't think they will be available on Sunday but one never knows. I personally am waiting for the Navigator to become available.
Indeed, and the fact that it's still "SOLD OUT" on the website is also an itty bitty clue. Still, if Eddie opens for 30 minutes on Sunday the resulting 4 weeks of packing and posting orders means the 25 might be available when he opens again in September.
Het sop is de kool niet waard.
In the grand scheme of things this is quite unimportant, luxury goods you might not get your hands on and might have to wait for a bit longer.
Eddie is Eddie, a great guy who just says it as it is, no room for snowflake customers :angel:;)
I don't have any of the 36mm PRS-25 and delivery is still on track for August, although I don't have an exact date. I don't chase the manufacturer, I trust him to work as fast as he can and I don't want to rush him and compromise quality control.

Hi, i want to ask something. PRS-25 is it suitable for swimming? Not diving :) Mine max. diving depth is 10 meter. But i was wondering can i use PRS-25 in swimming pool, sea and bath.
I know PRS-25 have screw down crown but confusing about 10ATM WR.
Thanks.
Just get involved in the forums more guys. Get your 250 posts and after the mad rush to be first these new models will all show up in SC from time to time.
wrt all the comments re buying: I find the process an amusing challenge - it adds to the distinctiveness of the new piece too!
I've swam with mine and worn it in the shower with no issues.
It's rather ironic that there's been so much nit picking and pedantry about various details of the 36mm version this watch, yet the one thing that would have vastly improved it, 18mm lug width, is present on the "Baby" Deadnought, which itself might be better with 20mm lugs rather than 18mm.
Indeed, just shows nothings perfect.Quote:

Cant wait for the next order day to come; I need the Everest so badly :hypnotysed:
Does anybody (Eddie?) have any mock-ups/pictures of the new Everest black dial, with the alternative logo on it, please?

I'll post pictures as soon as I get the watches, meanwhile here's a mock-up. Obviously, with "England" underneath the logo "Great Britain" isn't needed beneath the 6.

Is the 40mm version staying as is?

That’s the winner right there! All of the variants and tweaks have lead to the perfect TF watch. Congratulations Eddie.
Agree, that's the one, the logo really brings it all together.
Thought I’d post this comparison. I personally much prefer the new Face.
