Dear Eddie.
Simple and beautiful! That's how it should be done. Bravo. 😊

And now a pic of the "A" black dial ...
A perfect example of 'Less is more'.Lovely.
Just adding my vote of concurrence...it’s absolutely lovely. Better than I’d imagine. Can’t wait for mid October.

It must look good, my wife thinks it is really smart. She is not easily impressed and normally shrugs and gives watches a 'meh'.
Well. That turned out rather nicely!
Eddie
Stunning Eddie. Stunning.
Oh, good god. It’s a stunner.You’re going to be busier than Santa’s little helpers this month, Eddie.

Back of the net!
Really, really lovely. Any photos of the black dialled one?
I’ve always said these two are going to be the sarb 035/033 of the mil watch world. It’s hard to choose or get both !

I've become a fussy so-and-so since I started frequenting tz-uk. I'm not finding much to dislike about this beauty though. Excellent work!
That is an absolute knockout!
I played around with the lighting and took another shot. Not a lot of difference but I like it better.

Oh but it would. Dark brown leather would be good.
F.T.F.A.
Marvellous
I have a dark leather strap waiting
Perfect timing for my birthday at the end of the month

Me too, but pigskin. Got to be pigskin for this one I think.
Congratulations on bringing another splendid watch to market. I'm sure it will be popular and a good seller!I played around with the lighting and took another shot. Not a lot of difference but I like it better.
Eddie
Gorgeous.
Really, really lovely.
Well done that man
Dave
That looks amazing.
Well done, Eddie!
Horses for courses i suppose. I would try it on a tapering BOR.
I do agree that a nice brown leather would work wonders..

Is it possible to confirm the date that these can be ordered Eddie
The 9th or the 16th - or will it be later on?
EDIT:
Oops - should have checked the website!
I see that it is confirmed as being the 16th.
Will make a note a my diary!

Please where is reported on the Timefactors website ? It reports no update to me ...
Thanks
If you go to the site, choose any watch that is in stock and add it to your basket you get an automated messsage saying that the shop is closed and will reopen on the 16th when the new PRS29 will be available.
Thanks a lot, really helpful
Love the hands on this. Are they thermally blued or chemically? Either way they look great!I played around with the lighting and took another shot. Not a lot of difference but I like it better.
Eddie
Stunning! These are gonna sell like hotcakes. One will be mine, if not this batch then the next but it definitely belongs in my collection.
Congrats Eddie.
In case I missed how many are being made?
Chemically blued. Heat treated addes significantly to the cost because of the high reject rate due to uneven colouring. You can reduce the reject rate by doing them in small batches but that increases cost through increased production time.

Have you worked out a price yet chief?
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
If you need to ask...
I think it’s easy to estimate the potential price range by looking at many of the other time factor watches. I anticipate a good guesstimate based on these other prices to fall within £100.
Brothers in arms.

Outstanding!
Isn’t that a picture of perfection? So good to see the 29a back alongside the newcomer

I have to agree so similar yet so different.

The font of the 29a looks very different from what I remember of the original smiths w10/29a.

I'll be getting the 'a' immediately but they are both exactly what I had hoped. Congratulations Eddie.

I thought the cream dial was a slam dunk. Now looking at them side by side, am torn....may need to get bothBrothers in arms.

Very nice.
I am sensing a slight change in the hand dimensions (minute especially) on the a, but it looks great.
There is a definite case for owning both
Oh well
Dave
The 29a is awesome. The hands look more the exact size of the original W10. And as has been pointed the font has changed- the '4' definitely stands out. Can someone remind me of the strap size? Can't remember if it was 20 or 18? Thanks

That's lovely.
I noticed also as mentioned above the font looked a little differently the ‘4’ . Personally I don’t care a jot- it looks fantastic.

Interesting to see ‘851/18’ on the back of the new A... that would suggest about 850 29A1s made?
