Thanks for your help. Have pm'd.

Anybody have a good service guy for a Smiths PRS25? It's one of the first batch and been in constant use.
My local guy claims he can't do it as parts aren't available. I've asked Eddie, but he says...

Looks good. I too have one of those, and a mkX. Currently chasing a JLC mkX1.

Just a quick post that may sound a bit grumpy, but hey take it as you will.
After a few requests to sell this watch from here I'd like to state that it isn't for sale, if it was it would be in a...

The photo doesn't do it justice, the hands are perfect.

That about hits the nail on the head. Simples

Yes, it seems that way and took some finding.

It doesn't seem that there were many British military watches made in 1965, but I managed to chase down a birth year watch at last.

Thanks, might have to have a look at one of those.

Well done getting one of these, they are one of my favourites.
What make and where can I get one of those canvas straps?
Roger

Good point, but who knows what it's history is. I'm sure stuff left the factory or Hurstmonceux unofficially. I don't think one thousand pieces is much in the grand scheme of things. There are only...

For a watch in excess of 55 years old, that has been kicking around, maybe worn or in a drawer, serviced or opened up by anybody it looks about right to me. I'd be more suspicious of a perfect one...

Am I missing something here? He charged your card, refunded you by cheque and wants to charge you 2% C/card refund charges that he hasn't actually paid.
Scrub that, just re read the OP. He just...

You gonna cross the border and visit this year Spencer?

Slightly OT but for those interested there is a UK knife show, full of custom makers and factory knives at the end of this month. I'll be there as that is what I do. I trade as Bison Bushcraft. Say...

You might get an ex army 90 for that money, normally aspirated 2.5 diesel.

Here's my deluxe, it does have RAF markings.

I had a Gen 2 Seiko that spent as much time in the water as out. I know the current owner and it is still going stong.
Roger

Looks good on that strap.
Roger

Can't see a problem with that. Face to face in a motorway services is more dodgy I'd say.

Love it, love the pipes and is that a Tulip silencer (not)? Haven't seen one of those fitted for a while.
Roger

Absolutely. The best ever. RIP.

Not that I'd own up to but I do understand.

Interesting pictures all the same though.
