    Out of interest - what ever happened to this one - has it been scrubbed?

    I put them somewhere safe and now I can't find them.

    Oof! What a thing that is. Of the available TF watches I don't already own, or have owned, PRS-40 auto is the one which I think is an itch I still need to scratch, but I didn't know these three dials "existed". I'd have a black dial Caribbean first though.

    Love my PRS-40 Auto, but what's up with the Mission Timer?

    Hi Eddie,

    I wanted to say that I love my PRS-40 Auto, it's such a unique watch. And the movement performs brilliantly. It loses about maybe 2-3 secs a day! But what about the Mission Timer? Is it coming, and if yes, can you say when it might be available? It looks spectacular, and the mockup showing it probably being a LHD … just wow …

    The problem is the ETA movment, I would have to order a minimum 1000 pieces and I'm not going to do that.

    And a non-LHD version?

    Would that change if you took a non-LHD version of the movement? I mean, I would also opt for the MT if it were a regular watch.

    There's only one ETA movement thatI'm aware of which would allow the watch to function as I want it to.

    Okay, I see. I‘ll just keep on hoping because that design is a killer. (Maybe sword hands but what do I know. ;-) )

    I was outbid on a prs 40 on ebay last night but now that I see there's going to be a chronograph version I'm thinking that maybe it was for the best.
    I love the look of the "A" version

  16. #116
    Would deffo buy an A version.

  17. #117
    A version, please.

    But I'm keen for this too though I may blow the budget on a curry bean if i) They are not too pricey ii) I can get a yellow / blue one.

    As far as I know they are ready, and just waiting to clear the decks before the PRS-40 madness begins. It looks like it is better to have a few shop openings without new models so that people can have their straps and bracelets and not clog up the watch sales.
