Who will be the first to sell???
On the wrist and settling in nicely, Mr Platts you have made my day. Thankyou.

Very nice Paul.
Is that the strap it came on?
It looks more Perlon than Nato?
Cheers,

Looks cool. Mine has been delivered but I’m stuck at work for a few hours more...
Good to see some wrist shots. I couldn't decide which I liked best, thought it was the black but I'm less sure now.
Hmm
Looks fantastic and yes working now % my end .

Looks brilliant. That brown NATO really suits it. Can't stop checking my phone for a dispatch email. Nothing yet :(
Just ordered another 100 of the Air Ministry. Had to order 300 cases but can only fill 100 of them because of a shortage of movements.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
No one with a black dial to show us?
What a perfect result,2 very handsome,practical watches,no silly waiting lists and people wearing them the next day.
Mine arrived at the office this afternoon but I had to wait until now to open the box. Here is a quick and dirty pic, I will take some more tomorrow with a better light.
Really impressed, thank you Eddie

Looks good,I would like to see it on a tapered leather strap old style.
And on a vintage BOR. Jury is out on this look. Nice and comfortable though..
You and me both. I ordered both, and as much as I'm loving the look of the AM, I'm really looking forward to seeing the black in the flesh. Although must admit given the stock images, and what has been posted today, I'm hoping the dial gives off a bit more than purely black. In the shop photos it seems to take on blue hues which just looks amazing.
The orders are shipped in the order that they are received, regardless of what's on the order. I've shipped 41 orders so far. Cut-off time at the post office is 1645 hrs so I get there by 1615 hrs (I was at the counter for 25 minutes this afternoon and I could feel the daggers in my back from the queue behind me). I start work at 0600 hrs which is plenty early enough for an old fart well past retirement age.
As I stated earlier in this thread, there were 70 of the PRS29 ordered in the first 2 hours plus other watches and straps, 174 orders in total before I closed the shop.

I'm really pleased they've been a success, they're two great looking watches.As I stated earlier in this thread, there were 70 of the PRS29 ordered in the first 2 hours
I think that Eddie's new release is by far an excellent specimen however I with my 7.5" wrist cannot see a 36mm with a 18mm strap. I have attempted to wear watches as such in the past and just cannot get away with it. My only hopes and prayers at the moment are for somehow a "air ministry" 40 mm with a 20 mm strap size to become a reality. You knocked this one out of the park Eddie, great job Sir.
In the morning light... love those blued hands

Just collected mine, the black dial one (pics to follow). It is really nice watch and fits perfectly my wrist, maybe 20 mm width lugs would have been a better choice.
A quick question: I supposed the crown was screwed, while it is just a normal pressure one (I mean no screwdown crown): is it normal ?
Thanks

Yes Engi , Yes !!!! They look pretty darn good for quick and dirty!
