Speedbird 3 Spec

[Dave E]

Unless Eddie has changed his mind since an e-mail exchange a few weeks back, he's not taking reservations for the first batch that arrives.

[Seamaster73]

Have the strap options been decided on yet?

Don't be a poor sport! ;)

[Crusader]

No. 48 for me. :)

Keen as ever on the watch. 8)

[A.Pottinger]

I remember those deliberations over different elements to the design Crusader, It was great.

The proposed model looks great and has wonderful features. Really looking forward to it too.

Best wishes,

AP. :) 8)

Apparently there's a bracelet in the offing.

:lol: :twisted:

[996]

You can add me to the SB3 ?list?

Any number :?

I?m always tempted by PRS-1?s and 7?s when they come up for sale - must resist ? SB3 is on its way.

[Seamaster73]

Apparently there's a bracelet in the offing.

I hope it's optional. Plain black leather for me on this one. VERY plain.

Me too. I would never use the bracelet, so would prefer not to pay for it.

And I refuse to ask for a number... :wink:

[Junior]

This is ridiculous! Number 13 please!! Failing that, number 15, or 4!!! I might just buy three of the little devils anyway. :?

[Fuzuli]

If you can't beat them...

#009 please :)

[Onkel C]

I'd take one too! On bracelet.

[sdeboy]

If there is a list, please add me to it as well -

Thanks!

Scott

[Seamaster73]

I've been trying to avoid engaging in the unedifying spectacle that is this SCRUM . . . but put me down for 005. :lol:

[thorpey69]

Not fussed about a number ,but will be up for one :)

[cotto]

Unless Eddie has changed his mind since an e-mail exchange a few weeks back, he's not taking reservations for the first batch that arrives.

That may well be the case but is anyone prepared to risk it until Eddie himself has confirmed.

Would love to be on any list (for any number) just as long as I can get this beautiful looking watch as soon as possible.

[patphi]

My faithful PRS-1 is longing for a companion so please put me on the list for one -yes, I know there is no list but still...
Thanks!

I am. I'll proceed to checkout when the website says 'In Stock'. If they run out fast, I'll wait until they're back in stock.

I also refuse to quicken my pace when boarding easyJet flights. :wink:

Are you crazy? I'd beat Linford Christie across the tarmac to be on first to grab one those exit-row seats.

[gregflat9]

Granted I am new to this forum and I'm not sure if I'm breaking with protocol but put me down for one of these... with leather strap if at all possible.

Awesome looking watch.

[redmonaco]

I'd like Number 1948 please... :roll:

[rickf]

Updated spec with latest mechanical drawing.

[Mabuse]

Crystal: domed sapphire (AR coating, underside only), secured to withstand negative pressure to 0.3 bar

I dare not suggest acrylic (s'pose we're a minority :() but I'll take my chances on this next one:

Lugs: not drilled through

Why not drilled lugs? I'm under the impression drilled lugs is widely prefered by most WIS. Plus it goes well with this style of watch.

Cheers,
Mabuse

Hello,

any number will be ok for me, baby....
...just got to hurry!! 8)

Thanks,

[Paulo]

So the 2892 is no longer a possibility? :(

[swanbourne]

So the 2892 is no longer a possibility? :(

No.

Eddie

[Si]

In the specs it mentions "LE / LE indication" and also that it is going to be a regular production watch. Will there be two versions or just a limited number of one version?

Most interested in this one.

No and yes.

Eddie

[mr1973]

Count me in for whatever number is free please :-)

[goraidh]

I don't quite understand what's going on here :? But if there is a limited number of these, I'd be up for any number that's available (especially #98 :lol: )

I thought this was a non-le watch - has this changed?

Geoff

[Ron Jr]

If your taking numbers I would like my usual 20. Thanks Eddie.

Ditto. Put me down for one too please :)

Will there be any problem getting additional movements?

And now the inevitable ... Is there a list for the first 50? If so, could my name go on it please?

Er ... bump, just in case? :D

[hologon]

Augh... if it's LE, I'd like to request a spot on the list, whatever the number.

Thanks, Eddie. :)

-jon

[Dave E]

If it's an LE, I definitely want to be put down.

Bit harsh, no?

[David]

I am most interested in this watch and would like to be put down for one please. Any number will do.


David

[tribe125]

When did this watch become a limited edition?

In that case count me in. Number immaterial.

[Lartymarf]

Eddie,

Pls put me down for #08 if you are just starting a list.

Thanks!

[Crusader]

IIRC the watch isn't a limited edition per se, but the number of movments available for production batches is, so that it is in effect an LUE, a limited unlimited edition.

No. 48 for me, or any number will do (I believe we have been through that number thing before.) :D

[Ben265]

If it will be produced in limited quantities, please put me down for #43 or whatever the number if not possible

Hey.... what about me? :shock: :?

[walkuere]

Hi Mike!

I suppose if this is the list, I should like to be on it, although I don't particularly care for any specific number.

Count me in for whatever number is free please :-)

There where a lot who had not yet a specific number - that's why I put up the list to get things in some teutonic order. :D

[tribe125]

What a lark this is. :D

First we have a regular production model (where serial numbers are of no real consequence) that morphs into a kind of limited edition.

Then we find we have to sign up, rather than simply buy it from the website (personally, I would have waited for a second batch if the first sold out before I got there).

Then we are encouraged to nominate a number when we don't care what number we get.

But as I think I said once before, I also refuse to quicken my pace when boarding easyJet flights.

Frank - randomly allocate me a number if it aids your list. :lol:
