Prs-3 ... LE or standard?

[dougjim8]

I'm interested in the PRS-3, looks to be a fantastic bit of diving kit :)

But i'm torn between the LE orange dial or the standard? Any owners of either or both have anything to say about one or the other?

I have the Orange-LE.
Chosen for the vibrant dial colour.
But you also need to consider that the bezels are different.

I like mine because the countdown minutes is more useful to me.
And the hour marks on the bezel can be offset to use the watch as a GMT.
i.e. set the triangle at 1pm for CET Central European Time = +1 hour offset

I remember having the same dilemma.

Ended up getting the non-LE and love it.

Bezel and non-plongeur hands swung it for me.

I also debated this choice, and decided the standard was more flexible for office and dive use - the colored face has some limits in more formal occasions. With the standard, I've gone from use on a sailboat and diving one day on a Zulu strap to meeting with government ministers the next on the bracelet. Personally, I also think the incredible build quality and classic style are best complemented by the more understated version.

Orange LE all the way for me! I've got 47/50, so there may not be too many left!

I have a black LE, and the countdown minute bezel is just fantastically useful. I wasn't sure about it at first, but i soon found myself using it pretty much every day.

I've owned : of the LE's, black, yellow and orange, my dad still had the black.

Never noticed it had a countdown bezel!!! Durgh
