    Adding a bit of red adds to the appeal. I like the red chapter ring too.

    The original tri-compax is still the best, imho.

    Of course. The possibility of a white chrono will depend on the popularity (or not) of the black ones.

    It is legit but there's so many new watches in the pipeline I'm having to stagger their release.

    Is there a list of what's in the pipeline and potential release dates?

    It's fluid, depending how quickly presently available models sell out.

    Looks good Eddie. Is the version with a centre minute totaliser (ETA 251.264) going to come to fruition or are all of the available movements going to be used in the Precista Mission Timer?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    They've all been used in the Mission Timer.

    When they eventually go on sale, which will be the first, Eddie? PRS-40 or the mission timer?

    Okay thanks Eddie. I always thought that the Mission Timer was a better destination for the modified ETA 251.264 movements than the PRS-40.

    Has anyone done a render of what an unmodifed 251.264 would look like in the PRS-40 case, i.e. with all 3 subdials intact? I have been wondering if the subdial layout would look a bit odd with subdials at 3, 8 and 10 in the main dial due to the crown and chronograph pushers being essentially in the bullhead configuration. However, I don’t have the CAD skills to produce such a drawing unfortunately.

    The PRS-40 chronographs have arrived and will be available soon.
