    PRS-82 love - mistaken for what high end brand? Have a guess...

    I stuck the PRS-82 on before Christmas, still on the stock rubber strap it came on which I think it looks good and is extremely comfy.

    I was at a Naked Wines tasting (note the capitals!) in London, and was approached by a chap who was quite taken with the PRS-82. He actually thought it was a Bremont; I explained a bit about Eddie and Timefactors, which he was unaware of, but promised to take a look at when back at home.

    There aren't many watches where I get approached out of the blue for a chat, and I think it is a testament to the good looks of the PRS-82. I am sure the free wine tasting helped a little too :).

    High End? I think the PRS82 knock the sports off a Bremont!

    It's a watch that I've also had comments about. Superb piece.

    what do you mean mistaken?

    as far as I am concerned it is high end just a lower price point.

    but we know what you mean.

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    He's clearly no complaints about the movement.

    As soon as those shoes come up on SC, we'll easily identify him!

    I would have any of Eddie's watches over a Bremont anyday...

    Timberland moccasins maybe, you can see the face or some of it above the thumb.
    with the detectives on here that's enough to track anyone.

    You don't really need to name him, given that his copyright is in the image.

    Damn, I didn't realise it's a mirror and kept asking why the crown points towards the elbow when it's clear the guy wears it on the right wrist.
