    Smiths Prs25 36mm - question

    Just a couple of quick questions regarding the Smiths Prs25 36mm (incoming batch) - firstly and probably Eddie can answer this best, do we have any dates when the lastest batch of 36mm Prs25 will be arriving, I have seen August some time, but not much since Eddie's last update.

    Secondly, will the lastest back have the same dial as previous models, the only reason I ask is that after seeing the Prs25 white dial, I personally think a black dial version of this design would be absolutely perfect, are there any plans in the pipeline to produce a black dial version of this classic piece.

    I've been waiting for this too, my understanding is sometimes August but we're almost end of August....

    I'm not sure which of the original poster's question is even being asked:

    1. Will the lastest batch of PRS-25s have the same dial as previous models, or
    2. Are there any plans in the pipeline to produce a black dial version of PRS-25 While Dial?

    Not that I know the answer to either.

    Some people here sure get triggered easily and instantly turn to insults. Perhaps it's a function of some inadequacy.

    I think, but I can’t find the thread, that the plan was for the next batch of black dialled PRS-25’s (due this month) to have the same dial and hands as the last batch, but with the logo changed to the same as the one on the white dial/expedition version.

    As of today, they're 80% assembled and will be ready for shipping next week with a forecast delivery day of next Friday. I've got to take some pictures and get a booklet printed so I hope to make them available on 13 September (the anniversary of my car crash in 1967, just outside Pewsey).

    Thanks for confirming, more coffee so that I can stay up late to order them.
    This will be my 1st watch purchase for 2020.

    Incidentally, my own 1016 dates from 1967. 13 September is also the date I joined the army (boys' service) in 1965.

    From the top of my head I'd say £85.

    I've a question about PRS25 bracelet. Love that riveted look, but love jubilee bracelet too.

    Where can i buy aftermarket jubilee bracelet for PRS25. I asked, because i can't decide without trying for endlinks fitting.
