Reply With QuoteSuperb collection and stunning box, how about a lovely acrylic Prs5, Speedbird 3 or Eddie's latest the Seafire.
I recently received a lovely handmade wooden watch box courtesy of pstruck, featuring a Penrose triangle design reminiscent of works by M. C. Escher, an artist I greatly admire. The craftsmanship is superb, I am really happy with it.
As I obtained it via this forum I intend to use it to house my Timefactors watches. So here it is, my long overdue SOT(T)C. But there is space for one more, currently marked by a standard watch measuring device. So what is it to be? My appetite is for variety as you can probably tell. A PRS-17-C with 12 hour bezel (would love one but rather hard to come by), a PRS-9 Czech Air Force (slightly easier to find) or something currently available direct from Mr Platts? Maybe I should hold out for the arrival of the Smiths speedo inspired PRS-38?
Suggestions please!
Cheers! Matthew
Gonna need a bigger box!

With one space remaining, my vote... wait for the Smiths Speedometer watch, can't be far away now :)
CAF, then get another box and start with the new Sewills 4608 due out next year
Don't get a PRS-5, I already covet much of your collection Mr Curta... If you got the watch that started me down this path I will have to kill you... I must own one before you do...
Oh and merry Christmas to you and the family!
Oh yes suggestions for the spot...
I say Czech air force or wait for the speedo watch.
Well, that's the decision pretty much made then.Originally Posted by zoiksy
And great wishes for the season to you too!
That is quite well done. The Smiths Daytona homage would look great in the vacant spot. I realize it doesn't exist, and perhaps never will, but it would compliment the collection nicely. Other than that, the illustrations for the speedo looked great, and bet it will translate nicely to production.
Lovely :)
PRS5 for sure. You need a chrono in that spot and it's a belter.
Wait for the speedometer!
I thought I'd post a little update with the recent arrival of an original Speedbird. All that remains in the box from 2014 are the PRS-36 Cushion Case and the PRS-28 Radio Room. The others have all gone on to better homes of esteemed members of this forum. In a similar manner I have been custodian of two PRS-22 Speedbird IIIs, a 36mm PRS-25 Everest and a Precista PRS-50 LE.
So here's the box as it is today. The presence of the Vanguard is interesting considering Post #8.
Yes, that is a spare Radio Room.
