I haven't commented in a while, but I really like all of the new designs coming to production!
$595 date or no date. One on Watchuseek was lowered to $550 shipped
Thoughts on the new MKII Hawkinge vs the SBIII?
Hawkinge movement = Made in Japan SII NE15 (Rotor features Côtes de Genève), quickset date, hack setting, automatic with manual winding...

About how many ivory dial SBIII were produced? I poked around on the TF website and found numbers produced of other models, but no details about the production of the ivory dial SBIII. Looks great.
Great set! I have the Speedbird III and the 18q, plus a G-shock. As my other hobbies require some investment at present, I'm pretty happy with that three watch set. I like your case and strap...
Very nice. I had been considering a white dial for sometime, and had always liked the look of the Damasko DA37. Thanks for posting the photos, as I'm seriously considering the Partitio now.
Very nice documentation of the process. Cheers for taking the time to post.
Very nice. Post some photos when you receive it after all of the service. I'd be interested to see how it looks in a brushed finish.
I've had some challenge removing the bracelet, but always managed to get it removed. The fit is nuanced for me, too, and I've used a bit of moleskin under the bracelet to make it a bit tighter.
Very nice. Looks like a complete set sold just today, not sure of the exact sale price, but the price was listed as $2,250. So, you got a deal indeed.

I like the worn and weathered look. However, I don't know if I'll ever achieve that look with one of my watches!
I bought the Bonetto Cinturini through Amazon, but it was supplied by global watch band...

Recently tried a PRS-18q on rubber, which I quite like.

Congrats. A nice find of a great watch. Not too many over in the states, I bet. I am still waiting for the day when I see someone else with a SBIII, which is unlikely in my sparsely populated...
On a Bonetto Cinturini 300D. The strap has a nice fit, solid deployant claps, and vanilla aroma.

I used straight springbars with this Hadley Roma. As mentioned, the strap will show a little wear with no affect on the case. The fit does not affect the movement of the strap I used. If you don't...

Thanks - I went with the 300D with deployant. Will be two firsts - a rubber strap and a deployant. I'll post some photos when it arrives. I was inspired by the recent PRS-18 / Seiko skx077 tread,...
I just ordered a bonneto cinturini rubber strap and as I await its arrival, I had a quick question for those of you that have changed straps on the PRS-18. Did you replace the spring bars or use the...
Perfect for my 6.75" wrist...Speedbird III.

I recalled this comparison from another forum when considering between these two.

Some side-by-side photos.
Appreciate your thoughts. After a year on a strap I put it back on the bracelet to attend a wedding this weekend. Very different watch on the bracelet, and like many, I cannot achieve a perfect fit...
I've worn the Speedbird III on Nato and currently have it on a nice black leather strap, but every now and again, I am tempted to put it back on the bracelet. The bracelet is quality and I sometimes...
