    Tangentially, I think a PRS-12 may be my birthday present to me next month.

    Hi Frank,
    I am new to the forum and fear I have found it too late, but could you please either add me to the list for one of the first 50 SB3's or if full add me to the reserves list.

    Thanks very much Michael

    As a non-limited edition, there is no list.

    Ok, thanks for that Eddie, I thought the first 50 has "superior" movements, I guess the question is now is: is it pot luck whether you get one of these and if so, how would you ever know :?:

    Cheers Michael

    Ha! Just my luck. The first list I manage to get on in time turns out not to be worth the virtual paper it's written on. :roll: :lol:

    all this talk about official and non-oofficial list is rather confusing :shock:

    I had pointed to the pictures Eddie put in his "SB3 Proto" thread which also has broken links now. If anyone does have the prototype pictures I can host them and put them back in the first page of this thread.

    Re: Speedbird 3 Spec

    Hello Gentlemen,

    finally found some time to update the °NO-list° of the Non-LE SBIII.

    For all of you joining just now, the whole craziness started because
    Eddie mentioned he has 50 Chrono-spec movements ready.

    Be aware that this list is just for entertaining purposes (and to express
    our deep demand of the long-awaited SBIII :) ) - they might be well sold
    on a "first-come-first-serve" basis.

    The latest names added are marked red below.

    Cheerio, Frank


    Hello Gentlemen,

    the updated list is here - please check and complain to me :D

    So we have 50 prospective buyers - but I will keep the list open adding everybody else on the "follow-up-list".

    This list unofficial and not connected to Eddie ( I suspect he will perhaps just open his shop and sell to whom is paying? :D ).
    It was basically opened up because Eddie had paid for an order of the 50 first movements - this is just a
    normal Non-LE-LE if you know what I mean.
    Everybody who wants one should get one. Anyhow, here the list for now:

    Well... If there is no list, then I am not sure it is useful to mention that I am strongly interested in one, gentlemen...
    Will be a good alternative to my Sinn 656 and my PRS17C.
    Of course, whatever number will be fine !!!

    Spike,

    added you to the follow-up list, the numbers still open are already
    "taken" be the ANY-number-will-do members on the list.

    Once again, the list is not authorized by Eddie, it is strictly for entertaining purposes. :twisted:

    Walkuere: I do not see my name in the non-existing list, could it be because the list does not exist?? :D
    Just an idea: why not give a priority option to all the PRS-1`owners?
    Cheers.

    Sounds like I have as much chance of getting a Speedbird 3 as I had in buying a PRS-18A that sold in 9 minutes flat on the sales forum. Sniff.
