I like it and love the broad arrow....really balances the dial.
It would be amazing with a nice high grade movement like the Navigator.
It would put it in a different league.
Well done...

It's fun seeing a Navigator with a acrylic crystal mod...looks great.
The Navigator is my Timefactors watch of the year too...last year that is.
Just looking at the specs on this one. Any idea how thick it will be?
looks like a 14mm-15mm thickness at a guess though I hope its slimmer.
You could ask Brendan. He services my watches and I've seen his name of the forum many times.
You post them to him and he posts them back....simples.

I have both being the acrylic PRS 29a and the W10 and agree that Eddies wears more prominent and in a very good way. In part as the text is more bold.
I have a Hamilton 6b which is a slightly...
They have white dial and a green dial variant. Looks like Eddie was ahead of the curve. They look ok for the price.
Thanks Andy. Cool to know that thats the original lume. It was my watch that The Gent used in the comparison below. It has a brighter lumeplots but the hands are a green sludge colour. When I saw the...
Congratulations on bagging such a nice example of the W10. The lume colour is amazing and really vibrant. Is that the real original lume? Im not trying to cast doubt just that I don't know enough...
I remember Chris Harris off Top Gear said that he wanted to try as many different driving experiences as he could. He has more cars than many of us have watches and I have a dozen. Feel the same...
The Zombie is a beauty. I love the way the coin edge bezel looks face on. Great work and thanks for sharing.
I think the Explorer and the BB58 are a winning combo IMHO. Variety is the spice of life!
If it were one perhaps a SD. I have a 16600 and small wrists. It wears smaller than the Sub and has great...
The Everest looks great...but that SM300...Wow.
Is that the Watchco version?
Congratulations on getting an original 29a. As controversial as it sounds I'd say that its better than the W10. It has more wrist presence without being big. Fantastic dial and great movement. As for...
Yep, I'd shown him the Sinn 556i and ask him to choose what he wants if that doesn't suit.
This can be dressed up and down and wouldn't be an issue if it was scratched or damaged.
In an ideal...
Ive just read the thread from the bottom up and am pleased that my initial thought of 'keep both for now' was a frequently expressed opinion.
You can live with both and when the GMT is ready...
Thanks Guys. Really informative. Its good to know they are at the least they are on level par.
Congratulations!
The watch you bought last night is with you already. thats impressive.
Nice strap by the way.
Enjoy.
Im no watch movement expert what's the difference between the Eta and the Sellita movements. I have one of Eddies older PRS 29A's with the plexiglass and the Eta movement and I love it. Is the...
Pleasure to be of assistance.
Shortly afterwards I picked up a vintage Smiths W10 form the sales corner here so a good day all round.
Hi David,
This one on ebay now with a buy it mow price of £370 obo.
It seems a brand new piece and won't stay for long I'm sure.
I have no connection with the seller. Just noticed it after...
Yes,I heard about that before too. For me the clasp just keeps popping open...its no biggie really.
Has anyone else had the same issue i wonder?
I love this watch...been waiting years for a 36mm mark xi and it exceeded my expectations.
The clasp on the other hand.... :)
I like the blue dial variant and this is a nice option too.
Given the size its tempting.
Very cool dial. Very cool watch. I didn't know there was a 'baby' alpanist. I lime this more than the original.
Thanks both for that information.
So without a tension ring applied the potential water resistance may be limited?
I should look back through the thread... whats the visual difference in...
