Speedbird 3 Spec

[walkuere]

What a lark this is. :D

Hey I did not know this word, so this is of course educative as well :D

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

Just in case somebody has to expand his PRS-collection - and you know, watch collectors can get mad :twisted:

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

You get the (tribe125 => 1+25=26) designated #26

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

That's the reason why they always arrive late in Berlin/Schönefeld!

Anyhow the number-thing is presumably causing to much work for Eddie anyway, I think we just want to be on that first 50 NonLE-run.

(You know what happens always with these NonLe here, no? :twisted: )

Cheerio Frank

[tribe125]

You get the (tribe125 => 1+25=26) designated #26

And interestingly, the allocation of a number has given me a curious sense of security and satisfaction.

I'm much, much madder than I thought I was. :(

But what a lovely number, 26. It hadn't struck me before, but it really is the very best number. :lol:

[Seamaster73]

This thread has entered the realms of the surreal now.

[Paulo]

So the 2892 is no longer a possibility? :(

No.

Eddie

Someday I'll learn how to write a question in an unambiguous way.

You mean no 2892 or still a possibility (no no longer)? :)

Yes it is lovely, I've got a PRS-20LE no. 26 & a PRS-50LE no.26...
.
Since there isn't anything official from our host, I was holding off
from joining the feeding frenzy that seems to be occurring until
there was something official...
.
It seems that he who hesitates is indeed lost. Enjoy no.26...
.
Take it easy...

EDIT: <s>Put me down</s> Sign me up for one of these with the metal bracelet. Any number will be fine. :)

[walkuere]

See what I am talking about? :twisted:

cheerio, Frank

Sign me up please.

Any number for me but preferably one with a 7 in.

[Dean in Canuckistan]

Have we determined that there is indeed a list? If there is, I would love to be on it (number doesn't matter). If not, I'll be keen to click "Add to Cart" on the day.

[swanbourne]

This thread is headed for the asylum. :roll:

I was doing precisely the same until Eddie's response to Si seemed to indicate a limited edition. :?

Frank? Give me another random number - this ones taken! :lol:

[Ripley]

This is a first post after much lurking on the forum and I have to say you are all crazy (in the best way :D ).

I signed up for the forum because of my interest in this watch and now I have no idea whether it is a limited edition by design or availability :? . So this probably breaks with all etiquette of the forum but I soooo do not want to miss out on this. So if there is such a thing as a list please put me on it. Any number would be great but 47 if it would make things easier.

I have sucummed to the feeding frenzy :lol:

You are entirely within the rules of etiquette. Welcome to the madness!

Had you registered solely for the purpose of selling something however, you'd have been hanged, drawn, and quartered.

[alljay]

I need to get my post count up (and a pilot watch). Please put me down for number 19 if it is not already spoken for. *grin*

I got in on this frenzy the first (??) time around back in November... number 19 please!

[David]

I have also been lurking, mainly because of this watch. I'm an American from California.


Please put me down for number 45.

A limited edition of none :wink:

[goraidh]

I did say any number would do.....

But if I need to join this scrum, then needs must :shock:

I'll have 006 please.

Geoff

[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.

I still want/need one.

Thank you, I'd like no. 26, but like the masses, I've no idea of the spec/look of the watch???
.
Is there a list :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
.
Is there a specification we can refer to :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
.
Let's wait like sensible people :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

That's the first time I've been sensible on this forum

Have a look at the first post on the first page of this thread.

The mechanical design indicates an ETA 2824-2, reason why I asked before if the 2892-2 was still an option (and couldn't be sure of Eddie's answer, due to my dubious way of putting the question, although I'm inclined to think he meant the 2892 is no longer an option). :?

The original plan was to use the 2892 but that movement cannot be easily sourced. That's why the specification changed and now the 2824-2 is what will be used. The 2892 is not an option.

Thanks, as allways good (lower price) and bad (less exclusive) news, the balance will be positive, even or negative depending on personal perceptions.
Anyway I'm in, it's a beautifull watch. :)

[996]

#11 for me please, :D if not already taken

(If taken, #15 or #22, please!)

[rickf]

Not trying to reserve a number, just noting that I updated the spec to match the thickness reflected in the mechanical drawing.

Rick

[maukinfauld99]

I've been a long time lurker of this forum and as it looks
as though the SB3 is about to materialise I would like to
reserve one, any number will do.

Many thanks,
Iain

P.S Shouldn't the watch forum be called 'Tick Talk' :lol:

[Onkel C]

Sign me up for any number, please! ;)
#15 would be best.

Pls. join the hysteria of the LEs. :D

Welcome to the forum, Iain.

Got a watch already? :)

Cheers

Henrik

[maukinfauld99]

Many thanks Henrik for your warm welcome.

No Timefactors watches (yet!) but I have an Omega 53/6B, an Archimedes
Flieger (which I really like), a CWC G10, plus an assortment of Seiko 5's,
Submariner look-a-likes and the odd Timex and Casio quartz watch.

So nothing special I'm afraid, but each one had some feature I liked at the
time - I'll never rest until I find the perfect watch (the SB3 could be it! :D )

Just in case I get left out ... I want to be on the list too. Any number will do.

Seriously.

[Narwhal]

OK - I'll bite - any number for me please.

[Si]

Ach!

I was resisting well for a while there as, as far as I can tell, there is no need to put yourself down for a number (is there??) but now that Abraxas has done the deed...

I'd like one of these, Eddie.

As far as I knew this watch was going to be unlimited, so I didn't bother putting my name down, but the way the situation is now where the unlimited are more limited than the limited, we better make sure the ground is covered. I would really like this watch, especially if it's not going to be less than 39mm. In fact, 39mm with 20mm lugs would be ideal. :wink:

john

[Guntram]

Oh boy... here I've been checking on SB3 progress almost daily for months - and after a three week vacation I find out you guys have started a list? :lol:

If there were to be such a thing as a list - can I please have #29? Thanks so much!

Hi John,

I wrote you down for #2 - you had stated that before :D

By the way for the professional collectors who are building up complete sets with fitting
numbers - 30, 40 and 50 are still free anybody knows who would need them especially?

All the others, the list is on page 10 of this thread, please klick here , I added the requested numbers.

Beware: This list is completely un-official, and I put it up just in case another Eddie Non-LE gets a LE :D

I suppose Eddie will sell it on a "first-come-first-serve" basis.


Cheerio, Frank

[Onkel C]

Thanks for your efforts, Frank!

[Glamdring]

Okay, put me down for one, any number. Serious interest. I was considering a G10 but this will be better.

[gregflat9]

Yup I'm a taker too. Love the sterile dial and clean lines.

Put me done for an LE. Any number will do! Thanks.

:)

[walkuere]

hi gregflat9,

i put your name on the list as well but beware: This is not a LE!

(But of course we have seen Non-LEs getting rarer than LEs :) )

Cheerio, Frank

Yep understand... all the same put me down.

I'm there. Thanks!

[Dean in Canuckistan]

I've got one of those :wink:

Or at least I will until the next batch are delivered to Eddie. :lol:

[walkuere]

Dean, you are not on the list yet! :D

Cheerio, Frank
