Just received (last friday) my new PRS-3 from Timefactors. Took the chance based on opinions i found here and there around the web. I have no choice but to agree that this is a lot of watch for the money indeed.
I used to have an Omega Seamaster 2254.50 six years ago that i regret selling, but i needed the money at the time... From what i remember the Seamaster was heavier and the crown was grinding my hand quite a bit. Not sure why exactly but the PRS-3 is much more comfortable to wear despite de fact that it is 42mm compared to the 41 of the SMP. + No hand grinding here.
On the timekeeping department, it gives me around +12 seconds a day. Do you think it needs a little break-in before i pop up the case to regulate it?
Am i correct in thinking this is a new old stock watch from 2009. If it is, does this affect the longevity of the movement and lume?
Anyways, i like it a lot. It will be my everyday go to watch for quite a while i think...
