Looks like a good Speedbird as they all are, yeah that will make an exceptional addiction to the SB family.

Well argued, and a touch of the "original" won't hurt the SB3 indeed. 8)
I think it would be a benefit rather than a hindernace, and possibly very popular, as well.
Sincerely,

Agree.
Sans serif, s'il Vous plaît - and if Junghans can get power by Seiko, why shouldn't Timefactors!
I REALLY didn't go through every post on these pages - what's the proposed size?
Thanks
Brane
Seiko will sell their electronic movements but not their mechanicals, just got word back today.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Wow, we'll be having a quartz Speedbird! :P :wink:

No we won't. :D
I would have liked the Seiko 6R15 movement for the new PRS-10.

I must have misunderstood you. :P :lol: :wink:No we won't. :D

Pity, that sounds like it would have been cool for the PRS-10.No we won't. :D

Bah! :evil:
The Italian arrives and everybody is happy. . .
BTTT, now for good - until it arrives in Sheffield :evil:

I would love to own one PLEASE put my name on the list for the nest PRS watch.

Time Factors is closed until PM Thursday 21 June 2007 whilst holding meetings with suppliers.
Hmmmmnnn?
An excellent choice of thread to record your question for posterity. :?
Cheers,

Yep, discussing current and future projects. Kind of a touchy-feely meeting , touching and feeling watches and cases.
Open for ordering again now.
Eddie

I hope all felt as good as it looked... :wink:
I wonder if Mr. Platts would consider an homage to this chrono...
BTW, my apologies to Mr. Platts for allowing me to use visit his "home" and not having yet bought any of his creations... :wink:
(I am waiting to see the PRS-50 non LE)
That Heuer is great looking. Two subdials at 3 and 9 often turns out to be better looking than 3.
This Hanhart has also been discussed as a possibility, though not by Eddie as far as I recall
Cheers
Henrik
Lovely lovely... can you tell us more abt the hanhart... perhaps in another thread too... love the red pushers and the red marker at 12
I'm convinced that Hanhart would be a winner, but who has some 50 NOS single pusher chrono movements laying around????
The RAF Lemania has been here discussed in relation to that configuration. I cannot see the point in homaging a watch while it is available ... and anyway, I feel more people are likely to be interested in a watch without the coin-edge bezel.

THIN is the new BLACK
Agreed, the Lemania is far more cool and clean looking.
Cheers
Henrik
I remember having reading this thread from page 1 to 29 (as it stands now), but how did the SB III end up being a chrono?
I still want the SBIII as shown in page 1 !!!
As far as I know, the SB3 is still intended to look like page 1, the discussions of a chrono are us lot going off at a tangent about a subsequent possible project...
Dave E
Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
Ah, thats a relief...
I realize there's not much of a point in nudging a sticky thread, just don't want the SB3 to disappear into the abyss of oblivion. If Eddie were mislead into thinking there's a bigger market for a lady's Italian, that'd be a colossal waste of 2824s. :wink:

Getting close to the Mark XV spec - wasn't it an adjusted 2892-A2 that went into that? This looks the business Eddie, count me in for one! 38/39mm, 20mm lugs and (please!)18-20mm buckle/bracelet. When do you think it will be out?Why would you think it's quartz? I never mentioned the movement but I was considering the 2892.
Eddie
Bum
I mean Bump... :twisted:
I still believe the silver & luminous hands make it look cheap.
I have a few cheap watches, they all have silver & luminous hands.
Ho-hum.
Like almost all Rolex, for instance?

ROTFLMAO :lol:
I wont be filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, I am not a number, I am a free man, my life is my own!!!
Be seeing you
Toodle pip
Griff.
You could buy all 99 of these ;-)
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Too funny :lol:Like almost all Rolex, for instance?
Eddie
Count me in for this project please, this is a looker. My only "criticism" goes to the seriffed 1, would prefer it like the originals, although it won't be cause for disliking.
For a moment i thought theres an update and that its time to buy watches again :P
Why on earth would anybody in their right mind put such a nice movement into such a hideous case?You could buy all 99 of these ;-)
Ming
Probably because the original is very rare, Rolex only made a few in 1938.Why on earth would anybody in their right mind put such a nice movement into such a hideous case?

I cant agree that this is like most rolexes.... nor that most rolexes are abominations...
But its a truely hideous watch to make a homage of

I agree.
F.T.F.A.
Sorry guys, there's just one modern Rolex I like: Sub No Date (SND).
Further, I do have a weak spot for the full calendar models from the 50's/60's, especially those with moonphase...
Eddie
Maybe I am a bit late but I would like one as well.
Simon
Eddie Hope there will bw enought to go round. So we can all enjoy the fruits of your imagination and labour of love,

Thanks for that, Eddie. :)

A couple of things to note:
1. The thick soft iron dial
2. The project started in 2004 :(

Yeappii! Thank you Eddie!° :thumbleft:
2 out of the door last year, Eddie (PRS-20 and PRS-50), how many are likely this year?
I'll definitely get a SBIII as soon as they show up, hopefully first half of the year!

I might see a sample by the middle of February (2008). :roll:
