Sounds good to me! :) I've bought a strap for it already!
Will that necessarily mean that we might get first right of refusal, Ron?
um no cancellation from me :D
still ok for me :wink:

Do you anticipate any other crises of confidence that will result in other ongoing projects (e.g. SB3) moving elsewhere? Or is this just a one time event with the PRS-50?

I just have to get my lazy butt in gear and decide which are to go and write the sales adverts.
It depends what you mean by "crisis of confidence".
Do I have confidence that Fricker will make a good watch? YES
Do I have confidence that Fricker will make a good watch quickly? NO
Fricker has a few big customers and I always get the impression that I, ordering comparatively small quantities, get pushed to the back of the queue.
I'll see how the PRS-50 turns out and if it matches the specification and quality, then I'll try him with another. I've always worried a bit about being solely dependent on one supplier anyway.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Same here.
Im still good :)
Not a problem for me.
Same here :-)
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Though struggling with an internet connection, I am definitely still patiently in the queue Eddie!
Come on guys, I need a few of you to drop out so I can get in the top 50.
Terry
Heck I'll put it together myself, you know the old saying "To get it quicker, don't use Fricker"
Funny and true! :D

Speaking for the rest of us not in the top 50, there will be a non-LE i hope?
Especially now that Fricker is out of the picture?
Mmmm I would think it twice before leaving Fricker out. I think he and Eddie guarantee a very high quality level...So my hope is that when the watch comes, frustration will dissappear, and we will have a non LE done by Fricker...in the year 2020! :lol:
Delays....Delays...Delays. Well, you won't get rid of me that easily! Just give those hyperactive assembler monkeys a couple of valium laced bannanas. I value Eddie's high quality made watches over how fast they can be made! Best Regards, X
Hey X good to see you. Coming over tomorrow?
Ron jr; I havew been ill the past few days and do feel a bit better. I'll call you and let you know saturday morning. Regards, X
No problem for me either, sounds like a good opportunity to get another supplier on board.
Looking forward to this one and it will take as long as it takes?.
Best regards
Mark
Agreed. Alternate sources are a good thing.
Hey.....it's the 13th tomorrow.....
My heart has been broken so many times I am afraid to get too excited. This is my first time on the LE list, so close yet so far
What about Ickler for the cases?
I contacted them a year or so ago and they seemed helpful. And the prices were very interesting.
Ickler let me down a few years ago. Quoted me one price (in writing) and then when I ordered, invoiced a higher price and wouldn't negotiate. They don't get two chances to do that.

Right, unacceptable policy.Ickler let me down a few years ago. Quoted me one price (in writing) and then when I ordered, invoiced a higher price and wouldn't negotiate. They don't get two chances to do that.
Eddie
Anyway, it's the 13th now, so keeping my fingers crossed :)
I say we pitch in and install a web cam on Eddies mail box so we can monitor delivery progress as it occurs..
It amazes me that these things happen with "reputable" makers... :shock:
Eddie used to have a webcam going. He must have decided privacy was a good thing.
I dimly remember that and the resulting pictures of Eddie in a size x-small speedo, based on those memories and the many resulting trauma counseling sessions to get me back to normal..... I take back my request for a webcam.
Not much longer to wait now.

Very nice. Now lets see it cased.
Looking good there, Eddie. Any ETA on the completed pieces?

weren't they mailed to eddie on the 13th?
AAAARGHHH!!!!.............the suspense, the suspense...... :twisted:
Nicely done, Eddie. I knew the dial would be nice, but this exceeds my expectations. I suspect some of the gents who opted out due to the dial decision are kicking themselves now.Not much longer to wait now.
Eddie
wow, I can't wait... not that I have been that patient to begin with
This is nice :love10: Can't wait to see it with hands and cased
Looks great - I don't think we'll miss the aged lume at all! :)
Is it just me, or does the 'No Rad' symbol not look quite centred...?
That's what I've thought ;-)Is it just me, or does the 'No Rad' symbol not look quite centred...?
However, very nice!
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Using the scientific method of holding a ruler up to my monitor, the symbol appears to be spot on. I guess it's an optical illusion.
The red "motifs" ARE NOT centered with the yellow background. Use the cross for reference.
I've looked again and you're right. The lines and motifs are slightly south west of centre. The north east end of one line doesn't cover the yellow background. The lines on the left appear to extend onto the central red dot.
The dial isn't square in the picture.

:D fair enough
These dimensions don't look the same though?
Precisely, hogthrob. That´s it.
Don't worry with eddies track record it will be perfect. He has rejected dials in the past that didn't meet his standards.
