In the caseback pic, the watch has an unsigned crown; in the bracelet pic, it has a Precista signed crown. Could you tell me will the crown be signed, please?
Many thanks,
Guy :)
That's a seriously good loking watch Eddie 8) You must be very happy to have this one in the bag. Looks like I'll be lurking on the TF site this weekend!

Eddie,
That is a quite beautiful watch, absolutely perfect in balance and proportion. I will definately be ordering one and hope that it is one of the first batch - not because of the superior movement, but because I can't wait to get my hands on one!! I'm happy with the bracelet as I love the IWC one that it resembles, you can always add a strap if you so desire.
Congratulations for a job well done.
Cheers
David
The crown is not signed, the prototype came with a Precista signed crown because he thought all my watches were Precista. :wink:
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Thanks - I love the look/shape of that unsigned crown so I'm happy!
Cheers,
Guy :)
Looking very good indeed.
SO as not to search all 34 pages, are only the first 50 having the "top" movement?
Perfection :lol:
The dial and hands, case and bracelet really harmonise.
Very nice indeed.
That's my understanding, yes.
Needs to be seen on an appropriate strap, IMO.
These are specially taken for Abraxas. :wink:

Well John is not the only one pleased seeing these...
it's a beauty and the bracelet compliments the watch perfectly.
Well done Eddie!

Very nice, very very nice.
(Holy, you've got claws!)
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Well, that's sold it - there goes my weekend which will now be spent red-eyed at my computer pressing the refresh button on the Timefactors homepage...
:tard: :computer:
Cheers,
Guy :)
Does look good. still considering whether to get in really really early monday in the hope they've not all gone or whether to leave it... hmmmmm! does look good.......
She: Honey, what are you doing at the computer all day long?
He: Don't worry, just surfing porn sites...
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
That's cheaper than the watch-addiction of most people around here :D :lol:
Now now Eddie, you're just tormenting us now... and I like it! :twisted:

Balls, i think i just figured out...
I want!!!!!!! :P
Sorry about this. Sometimes you turn them round and see all sorts of things.
I like the lift and angle of the bezel. And all the other angles flow nicely.
Any thoughts on the SB4? Will it be a chronograph? :blackeye:

That looks absolutely spectacular Eddie. :shock: Bravo!
Sadly, I don't think I'll be in for the first round. But don't count me out for the next batch.
Guitar player? :wink:
?
In one word, perfect.
The whole package looks harmonious and very pleasing to the eye.
But if everybody puts his money where his mouth is, I don't think I'll be able to grab one :) .

Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
That looks perfect, I think I will change my mind and finally try to jump in the first batch :DThese are specially taken for Abraxas. :wink:

I see Denial Of Service attacks on the timefactors webserver soon :lol: :lol:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Great looking watch!
But..will we be able to order through the website if it becomes available this weekend?
TimeFactors shopping cart page says it's going to be down:
Closure - 24 June 2008
Time Factors is closed whilst the backlog of orders is cleared and will re-open on Monday 30th June 2008.
Does that mean that the Speedbird 3 will not go on sale until Monday at least?
phu! This would make my weekend a bit more relaxed!
(1x marriage of a good friend + euro-championship-final + I am in Germany watching it with my best friends =
too much alcohol :twisted: I could have even ended up ordering three? ;) )
Cheerio and good night, Frank
If I were an intel analyst, I would say Eddie is clearing the decks for action come Monday, when he expects an increase in orders, or he expects to receive a high volume of orders on Friday.
Fabulous looking timepiece. My DA36 order has now taken a back seat.
Nooooooooooooo !! I'm going on holiday on Monday. :cry:
That looks awesome. Nice bracelet too. :D
Now that would be :rr:If I were an intel analyst, I would say Eddie is clearing the decks for action come Monday, when he expects an increase in orders, or he expects to receive a high volume of orders on Friday.
Please let us know your plans, Eddie!

I think Eddie should introduce a really sly link hidden deep somewhere on the Timefactors website to purchase the watch a couple of days before it goes on the main page. Kind of like a treasure hunt. :D
At first I thought that. But the bracelet is growing on me.
As we get to the finish line for SB3 still not knowing if we will be in the first 50 winners or not I'd like to thank rickf for starting and maintaining the spec post at the top of the thread. Its been fantastically helpful and a great 'shop-window' to peer into longingly from time to time.
Thanks Rick its great that you've done that for all of us.:thumbup:
John
Can I also just add that the last few days is the first time since joining TZ-UK that the first forum I've headed for after logging on is the Timefactors one - not the Sales one!! :shock:
Cheers,
Guy :)
Very relived to see that the sterile look of PRS-1 has been preserved... Great watch!
Just had a phonecall from my credit card company, after some discussions it seems my card has been hijacked. They are going to stop it and send me a new one with a new number but it probably won't arrive until Saturday.
Can anyone remember if Eddie still takes orders with an option to pay by cheque? If he doesn't i'm buggered :crybaby:
Newcastle>>>>>>>Sheffield isn't that far. I'm sure Eddie likes pound notes. :P
Ironically it’s the 22nd anniversary of my wedding in Sheffield this weekend. We are going to be abroad on my hideously expensive mobile internet connection and now with a wallet bursting with cash.Newcastle>>>>>>>Sheffield isn't that far. I'm sure Eddie likes pound notes. :P
My panic is over though, I’ve found that he still takes cheques.
Lucky blokes! US Dollar is falling and so are my hopes of getting the PRS-3 !!!! at a price I can pay.
Jeeeezus - you have not done your homework have you? :roll:
Great watch Eddie - the bracelet really sets it off nicely.
One minor issue though....
[pedant mode ON]
One question arising from the caseback text (and which could be asked of almost all watchmaking firms including Rolex & Omega): Have metric and imperial length units changed recently, because 100m = about 328ft, not 333ft? Not that it makes much difference in practice. It wouldn't be the first time this sort of thing has been done: 'RN standard sea water' was defined as 1.0275SG for many decades when in fact it should have been 1.0265SG. Luckily the error didn't cause any sinkings!
[pedant mode OFF]
This won't stop me going for one though!
someone mentioned lumed numerals...?? has it got them?
I sure hope not.... just 4 cardinal markers...
Usually you see the rounding as 3.3 feet per meter.
100 meters/330 feet
200 meters/660 feet
300 meters/1000 feet
These look better on a dial than:
100 meters/328.08 feet
200 meters/656.16 feet
300 meters/984.25 feet
