I never expected to be interested in this but that’s absolutely stunning with perfect proportions.
Have to say that is absolutely stunning and at 38mm perfect.

These are gonna fly. Hope the fist batch size is about 900 to 1200.
Yup, that'll do nicely.
Yeah, I take it all back.
Looks pretty darn good to me, put me down on the list for one please

I am in up to my armpits. Chapeau Eddie.
Just spotted there are no rivets on the bracelet….
T.G.
Is there an ETA for this?
No.... it's a Miyota. ;-). Baddum tsssst.
Sorry Neil, couldn't resist.

I noticed that too. The faux retaining plates for the rivets are still there though.
Yes, I couldn’t think how to describe those. I think this watch would suit the rivet style bracelet, but I would personally prefer a plain bracelet myself.
T.G.
The original oyster bracelets were sprung and the rivets were holding the edge-plates. I still think the jubilee looks better on this model though. Check the original inspiration....

Yes the jubilee really suits it.

LOL I'm more than happy with a miyota more budget friendly
If I can get in this will def be my next timefactors watch almost glad I missed an expedition on Sunday so I can save the funds
can not wait
Will this be going to Tim for a YouTube review/preview?
Eddie
I never ask for reviews but if someone wants to review any of my watches, I'll consider it. Since Brexit, there have been problems with customs, the last watch I sent to Tim attracted customs charges for him and also for me when it was returned.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Try bazza on here, he has done some good reviews on YouTube (Timeout Watches) and UK based.
A couple of tweaks.

That looks very lovely indeed, definite want.
Does anyone know (Eddie likely does, but I imagine swamped with business) if generic display backs available for cases of this design and size that I could buy from e.g. Cousins or eBay, or is everything bespoke?
Looks great, good decision to drop the commander text in favour of the 200m.
Looks great, cleaner dial without the commander text
Any ideas on a release date yet so I can set 10 alarms to go off when the shop opens
That’s the one.A couple of tweaks.

Of course, the next debate is Oyster or Jubilee? I can't do both because the minimum order for bracelets is the same as for watches, which is 300 and I'll only be ordering 300 for the first run.

Oyster gets my vote
Oyster if it doesn’t have faux rivets, otherwise jubilee all the way…
T.G.
Another vote for Oyster here. Looks really great 👏👏👏👏
I guess this one won’t have the rivets if this prototype is what Eddie has in mind

Oyster bracelet and a 6200 big crown(to match the 6200 style dial) are sure fire crowd pleasers in this instance.Every other detail and proportion of this watch looks amazing;give it a bigger crown and its perfect.

Oyster, please.
No, but it has the rivet plates which is neither one or the other?

True, I somehow missed that.
Prefer it on the oyester bracelet as well.
Looks amazing Eddie!
Agreed Oyster preferably.

Shame, I thought Commander was a good idea.
I know, right? ;-)

I like both but agree that I was a fan of the commander text. Added a little more personality to the dial.
A number of people commented on Facebook that the "Commander" text made it a watch for Walts.

Personally prefer the revised text.

I thought the COMMANDO was a bit Walts.☺
I'm pleased the "Commander" has been dropped from the dial. Oyster. The crown is quite large enough.
F.T.F.A.
Were they Speedmaster wearing astronauts or CWC diver wearing navy divers?
I quite like the COMMANDER text also the revised text works too....I would say a slightly larger crown (due to the 38mm case size) and works best, in my opinion, on the Oyster bracelet.
At first I wasn't taken with the Commander text, but over the week I came around to it.
It is no different to having Explorer or Sea Dweller on the dial.
I should of kept my big gob shut.
