    It's the 17th of December!

    Speedbird 1903 owners I assume you are appropriately attired today?

    Number 20 is on my wrist today and sporting a new double ridged black leather band, just wish it had white stitching.

    I know that.....

    the custodians of #24 and #25 have the correct attire today......

    (especially the custodian of #24 who is a pilot and works for the national board of flight safety..... :twisted: )


    The SB 1903 has already been flight tested and approved..... :wink:

    I have number 12 on now, as I have all day. I am very impressed with this one. The chronograph action is really precise.

    I understand that Eddie hasn't sold all of these as yet? I'm sure owners out there will agree with me that this is one of Timefactors' best yet.

    Merry Christmas to all.

    :D

    I agree it is a great watch. I was sort of disapointed when I opened the box but it has grown on me, haven't worn a different watch since I got this one.

    I always tend to like the watch I’m wearing. The Dreadnought is a good example of a watch that makes its presence felt; through its size, weight and uniqueness. To me the 1903 is elegant in the manner of an IWC, without being too dressy, certainly more discrete that my DN (197), with a pure and unfussy appeal.

    I like its thickness as well and in particular the way light refracts from the Sapphire Crystal at an angle.

    Cheers
    :)

    It's exactly the kind of watch that grows on you...

    Unlike the DN, this is not an in your face kind of watch. It is very elegant and beautifully done. The details, like the seconds track, are very nice and add to the overall appeal of the watch.

    I've got #19 on today, and had original Speedbird #19 on yesterday.

    Here is the 1903 on a Sirtoli Andreas padded alligator. Eddie was right about us changing straps, although the supplied strap is very nice.

    :D



    :shock:

    I opened my "present to myself" early, in order to wear it today.
    Overall I am impressed with the quality for the cost, and it is keeping excellent time right out of the box. I hope that trend continues.

    checking in with 030

    Yes it is a perfectly finished timepiece, unfortunate that it had to be enjoyed after my workhours were finished at the shop today on the anniversary.

    SB 1903 arrived Monday 15th adding another testament to Eddies fine packing and prompt shipping as well as "the advent of flight"... another under three day -door to door- overseas delivery again!

    Thanks again!
