Just spent my lunch hour reading this thread. Fantastic looking watch. Clear and simple. Personally I like the green tip to the second hand. I've never owned a PVD watch as most offerings look too busy. I will however be looking forward to the launch of this watch with my credit card in hand.
This is so nice wish it was actually real and available for purchase
This version looks fantastic! Been following the thread for a while and subscribed to it today. Haven't been overly interested in a PVD watch previously but seeing this has changed that, and as usual I want it now!! The nearest counterpart for me being maybe Hamilton's Titanium Field Chrono but like so many others, the simplicity of the Smiths Seafire face trumps all. I would personally include a date window IMHO but regardless I'm really looking forward to future updates and hope this watch becomes available to purchase soon!
Me too, I am quite a fan of Hamilton, I own 3 but this one won me over too so I hope I can own one soon
Totally stunning looking watch...
Love PVD, love the simple face
Agreed maybe in the meantime Eddie could paint something black to keep us happy, Pvd Everest?
Fair point, I love that watch and had forgotten bout it, can you make some more please?

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
^^^^^^^ Well, hello beautiful…..
Is it just a change to the hands? Makes it look more rugged and like a dial from a cockpit.

So close...... :)
Nice, but that crown did grow up a little
Oh. Yes please. Love it.
Glad you've kept the green-tipped seconds hand.
Oh my! Just came in from the PRS-40 thread. This is also a very handsome instrument design and the 4 steps per sec will probably look great!
Keep up the good work,

Nice to see an update on this thread
Movement looks interesting and can't wait to see photos of the finished watch.
-1. Mechanical oh mechanical please
I think that looks fantastic. For some reason I think a plexi on that would look great .
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Mmm - This or the Smiths Speedo?
Nice dilema

Seafire, I think I love you. Four times a second.

I really like the clean look of this one. Coupled with the sweeping seconds, I'm sure it will be a succes. Only question is when can we buy it?
PS: Please make it in 40mm.
Cheers,

I like the PVD look, I'm just always worried about scratching it down to the steel. It eventually happens
I'm a bit confused by the movement end of life indicator.
The movement is supposed to tick 4 beats per second, but on their website it states the EOL is shown by 8 ticks every 2 seconds.
Can someone explain this please?
Love the watch and looking forward to its release. Hopefully it's not too soon though - am just about to buy a PRS-82 and will need time to save up for a Seafire.
I also love this watch but not sure about quartz
I love the green colour... and it also lends itself to its brother watch, being a bit bigger with a mechanical movement, red lettering and tip of the second hand... to be known as the Smiths Hellfire.
PLEASE do a mechanical seafire too!
But I need a speedo too! It seems to have gone quiet...
I'd probably buy it sans date but would prefer one.
