What movement did the first edition have?
As opposed to those here just to argue and/or talk money.
I am very happy with my first edition,but I may try for one of these as well.
This really is a classic watch for a watch enthusiast.
"This weekend sees the availability of the PRS-29A Smiths Military.
The 2025 issue of the PRS29A Military & PRS29AM Air Ministry will
feature the Swiss made ETA 2801-2 hand wound movement. Due to lack of availability these movements are rarely seen in microbrand watches and probably won't feature again in either of the PRS29 models".

ETA 2801-2Originally Posted by Rocket Man
Agreed, that's why I ordered one. I've been thinking about it for over ten years so I had to jump on this opportunity.
Does anyone else have one incoming?
As usual I forgot it was open.
But as I said I have the classic first issue,I am sure you will love it when it arrives.
You will have a big choice of straps my current choice is CNS Para as its so comfortable and very adjustable.
Thanks, I'm ordering some straps today!
Trying it on some Haveston straps.
Loving the watch! Pure class.

Congratulations! Looks very nice. I’ve found the Haveston canvas straps work really well with the PRS-29A.
Glad its arrived,maybe try for a Phoenix strap as well.Trying it on some Haveston straps.

A plain black or even brown leather suits it as well.
Enjoying some R&R with the Smiths Military

Bugger!
I was reading the original post and I thought that an ETA 29A would be good to have. Back when they first came out I bought the 29B but the increased size just didn't work for me so I sold it thinking, that at some point in the future I will get the 36mm. Well perhaps today is that day so I went to the site... and they are all sold out.
So I got a 29AM. I always wanted to try one of them. Especially as they are going to be the last ETA.
Oh shoot I forgot again,the 29AM is very nice you will like it (try a deep brown strap).
I am looking at various bonklip if anyone has any suggestions.
CWC have this one.

The Forstner Klip brings back one of the most popular bands in Forstner's historic catalog. The present bonklip-style bracelet has an 18mm wide central portion, with alternating brushed and polished finishes on the rectangular "ladder" design, and a polished spring-loaded clasp. Made entirely of stainless steel, the band is light, breathable, and extremely comfortable, having the ability to be easily sized in approximately 3mm increments for the perfect fit.
