Anyhow, do not hesitate in buying one - I wear mine all the time, fantastic watch.
I've decided that as soon as the Timefactors shop is open again I'm ordering a Dreadnought Voyager PRS-21.
Out of curiosity I thought I'd have a search to see what they're going for 2nd and - so went onto Chrono 24.
I realise if you don't ask you don't get - but I was surprised to see this one https://www.chrono24.co.uk/all/dread...-id9442225.htm
If you want to get one at a bargain price - buy a new one from here http://https://www.timefactors.com/d...ghtvoyager.htm

No box or papers either. Only one place to get a PRS-21 and that’s Sheffield (until they sell out/discontinue)
I'm sure there are many languishing unworn in drawers world wide, waiting for a price explosion as happened with the original. However they've been going for £5-600 whenever I've noticed them for sale here. Great fun to be had swapping between the 21 and the 25/36mm!
F.T.F.A.
I must admit, I bought mine with half an eye to making a few quid.
It DID languish in a drawer for a while as, when it arrived, it just seemed too big and clunky, but then after a while I decided to wear it and my feelings about it changed completely.
It's my long-haul holiday watch, mostly, these days, being perfect for that (Diver and GMT).
As I got one with a serial number significant to me, I don't see it going anywhere now, even if prices did go up.
I sometimes think of buying a second one (used) and having it polished, as I think it'd look great that way too!

I recall that was done with an original Dreadnought, and then returned to it's proper state.Originally Posted by snowman
It lost the sharp edges when it was polished.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
That looks horrible, thank god it was rectified!
Yes, doesn't look as good without its edges, but presumably a good polish would avoid that.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Who ever did this needs hanging .., i saw images of the polished one after the "restored back to its original state " some years back and it was never the same again (no disrespect to who ever did the restore job ) .It lost the sharp edges when it was polished.

Interesting fact: after the original Dreadnought sold out, I asked Fricker if they could make a one-off for me in 18ct gold. I didn't proceed on grounds of cost because with bracelet, it would have weighed a kilo.

Notwithstanding the fact that on Tuesday I’ll be ordering one - did you ever thing about doing it Titanium?
Not even for a nanosecond.

You would have to have had an all year round tan , a 70's style porn tash , a cravat in an open necked shirt and some slip on white loafers to pull that off Eddie ...good job it didn't happen .
