Quick (very late) update - I sold #235 a couple of years ago... Mixed feelings about having done so.
This is gorgeous. Likely going to be out of my price range at the moment, but an aspirational watch! Love the premium quality look of it and can't wait to see real world photos of it.
The mockup looks fantastic. I really regret selling my 82 - my favourite of the Precista/Timefactors watches I've owned (had the PRS14 and 18A as well). I don't generally like bronze watches, but the...
Is that a Photoshopped piece or an actual Gulf War era Precista? Looks reminiscent of the Sinn EZM-1... Not a bad thing at all!
+1 for a reissue with a larger crown (I found mine very difficult to set). My PRS-82 is a dream and I often think to myself that had the PRS-14 had a similar crown I might still have it.
I have an all original 6105 and a PRS-82 - love them both but agree with the above post: jump on a PRS-82 while they are still available. The 6105 is a gorgeous watch and belongs in any collection....
235 reporting for duty. Stunning execution by Eddie. It's my third Precista (along with PRS-18A and PRS-14 - now sold) and the best of the lot so far. Don't think it will be my last...
Received wisdom is that the ETA 28xx movements are prone to damage if they are handwound and that therefore doing so is ill-advised. Specifically, regular hand-winding of the movement can lead to...
Absolutely swooning over this combination - where did you source the strap? I have a PRS-82 inbound and would love to put it on something similar when it arrives.
Fantastic - thank you for sharing. I'm jealous; wish I had the skill to attempt something similar. Well done and congratulations on being back on your feet.
Received wisdom is that one should not handwind an ETA auto (at least not an ETA auto in the 2824 family). What I do with my 2824s, 2892s and 2836s, is handwind them 20 crown turns from "dead" and...
I received my 2nd hand PRS-18A (first version with ETA 2824 movement) on Monday and couldn't be more pleased. Lovely watch - great work, Eddie. The shots of the PRS-18 on rubber have me thinking...
If Eddie offered this with the date at 3... As it stands I am SERIOUSLY tempted to pick one of these up. Gorgeous. I LOVE TimeFactors' NATOs but find all of the nylon, canvas, and leather straps that...
Hi Ventura, just curious - what dial do you have in mind? I have a MKII Blackwater with the SM300 style dial and date at 3; have always thought this dial would ROCk in the Precista. Not sure if the...
Looks killer on that bracelet. Very nice.
PRS17A and C - both gorgeous. Love the yellow hands on the chronograph; they pop! Had somehow missed the 17A in my visits to the webstore, definitely on my radar now. To the OP congratulations,...
Fantastic photo, if a tad risqué... Nicely done!
I'm looking forward to your review of the PRS-68, Ewan! And hoping, of course, that you are able to review the Voyager "in the steel" at some point in the future.
Your Italian is my current favourite/object of my desire! New strap on it makes a stunning combo.
Thank you for the comparison shots - I was one of the posters requesting them in the other thread. Fantastic photos - I wish I had your skill with a camera. The PRS-14 is such a photogenic watch.
By wider than the lugs, do you mean that you are looking for a notched strap? One that has notches on either side of the lug end of the strap, like a Seiko Z-22 rubber strap as found on SKX series...
^ I doubt that Swatch group is doing that. I suspect this is more a reflection of the scarcity of the movements and how much the unit cost per movement has gone up. Maybe, too, the used market for...
Hi - sorry for the late reply. If you go to watchrecon's website (rather than the Android or iOS app), you can search from a bar at the top of the screen. To the right of the search bar there is a...
Too late, I'm afraid. I've been at this for 25 years and am currently at "about" 100 functioning watches with a further 20 or so that are in need of help. Of the 100 functioning watches, I have a...
Sadly, original purchase price is not always a good indicator of used price. Look at MKII pieces or the original Dreadnought. A better method is to use Watchrecon to find out what the used ones have...
