I remember this case being reported in my local paper many years ago when it occurred.

The story is fair dinkum!

Outstanding choice of movement in these watches.

Been wearing mine now over a week and it’s still +/- 0 secs.

Absolutely spot on! I could not be happier!

Far superior accuracy to what I...

Love the watch and strap.

Imagine my surprise to get the serial number I requested AND Eddie had set the time for Melbourne Day Light Savings Time (GMT + 11)!

Great job Eddie and fabulous...

Scanned through UPS in Cologne about 12 hours ago.

Still a long way to go. Should be seeing it mid next week.

Thanks Eddie!

Congrats Deano, great service by Eddie, amazed you’ve received yours so quickly.

Unless someone across the ditch in New Zealand grabbed one, I think mine has the furthest to travel.

Looking...

I haven’t posted in ages. Good to be back.

The PRS-18Q looks a beauty.

My first watch purchase in a loooooong time!

Looking forward to getting it on my wrist.

Kind regards

When I read that reference GSTP stood for General Service Temporary Pattern.

I would say the same applies to any piece of commercial kit pressed into service due to wartime needs.

Kind regards...

The hands of in PRS 5 always put me of it.

But that was a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away! Or at least it feels that way nowadays.

When I was in the army you needed to have dirt or at least in appropriate pictures of the OC...

Nice set above too. What's the story with the grey bund strap? I've never seen one. Is it issue or commercial?

After buying many 'authentic' bund straps over the years I've found the Eulit Bund...

I have one too but I have mine on a Eulit BUND strap which suits it extremely well!

Well done on securing yours Laurent. These watches will be a super collectors item one day.

Great for...

They are far more likely to be RAN issue. I'm not aware of any RAAF issue Chronographs. The RAN however did issue Chronographs.

I have spoken to several ex RAAF Navigators and none has seen a...

Congratulations on your SAAF Lemania too. Lots of South Africans resettled here in Oz, especially in Perth.

I've been lucky enough to snag a really nice RAAF example but it's still in transit. ...

Hi guys,

Does anyone know anything about these RAAF issue Chronos?

I've seen a bit on the net about the SAAF version from 1980 but bugger all on the RAAF 1981 version.

Both are almost...

Appreciate your prompts.

With my low post count, I do not have access to the Sales Corner.

Still interested in hearing from anyone with a nice Gen 1 for sale.

Offers to my above email...

Good luck too on finding a suitable timepiece to celebrate your milestone.

I was 50 last year and am still looking for a nice Royal Navy or RAF Lemania Chrono issued in 1960!

I am lucky...

I've purchased from Silvermans several times.

I once had to return a 1970s Remake CWC Chrono due to a fault and it was not a problem for Silvermans . They replaced it immediately with another...

I'm fortunate to have both and would choose/keep the Smiths Deluxe in a heart beat.
