while i am waiting for the PRS 19, this looks like the perfect watch to join my 1903 downunder
i want one....
Please don't jump on me..... I have done a search of the topic and read through the thread.....but......
I can't seem to find the answers to these questions:
Will the bezel be acrylic and will it be lumed - ie as the Mk1 version??
What are the dimensions?
thanks,
david
- Flat acrylic bezel without lumeOriginally Posted by davek
- Same dimension of the actual PRS-50
Cordialement
Merci!! :)
What about the crown, same as the MKI?
Thank you
Hi Team,
Have there been any release dates stated anywhere yet? Also, I must have missed the post/discussion about the approximate cost?
Can not wait :bounce:
Regards,
Marcel.
Released yesterday sold out in 32 seconds and the cost was 1.00 pound.
Just joking :lol: Eddie will let us know when they are ready and not before.
Could have been a £1000 and still 32 seconds :mrgreen:
The rising sense of anticipation and excitement about the launch of this watch is almost tangible. I find myself checking both TZ and the Time Factors website two or three times a day to make sure I haven’t missed an announcement. :bounce:
Tell me Doctor, do you think I am obsessed? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Does your heart go "boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom"?

Goodness gracious me!
OK Jokers -
I have been hunting for the old PRS 50 for a month ot two: you name it - have been there, have done that, ...
As far as the new PRS 50 is concerned: can anybody tell me whether we are talking months or weeks here.??? If this is going to take months ... I need sth to alleviate my itch, naturally ...
Joining the group somebody said: "welcome to this madness" - he was darn right. :bounce:
Thanks,
Marcel.
Humour is the only way we can deal with the tension of waiting. :bounce:
There is only one person who can answerer your question. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
It's planned for release on Cthulhu's birthday.

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
which is when exactly? :lol:
You are such a bad man.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
That’s what we want, clear precise information :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Finally, I thought this would never end :bounce:
Dart it - the itch is still there... Hmm , it must be the food then; we will have to have a serious conversation with my wife about her cooking tonight :mrgreen:
Cheers
Marcel.
So we need to wait until November then?
Now you are either a man in the know or that’s a wild guess.

Hello everybody, this is my first post in this forum since I write from Spain, reached by the PRS 14, hurt and can not be done, but I love the new PRS50 :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: , I am following with great interest all the post since this I might not want to be without it, all designs Eddy seem precious. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I am one of those people who want lume C3
I want to arrive early birthday "Cthulhu" :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Greetings to all and sorry my bad English.
I know far less than the average fellow sadly, let alone the formidable intellects around here. A few keystrokes led to my WAG. If not November my second choice is August.

Eddie, I was wondering if you could confirm what lume you have settled on and what sort of thickness/profile we can expect for the crystal.
Cheers
David
The lume is certainly C3 and I'm a little confused over the thickness of the crystal, I'm sure it's 4mm but some distant memory is suggesting 6mm. I don't have drawings for this because it's essentially the same as the previous version with a different dial, bezel and crystal: the construction is identical.
Eddie

I'm really looking forward to this model. The thing I am really finding appealing - the super thick acrylic crystal. This watch is going to look very retro and super-cool. I have been torn over this one and the Vanguard, but I think the new PRS-50 has just about won through.
Thanks for the confirmation on my questions Eddie.
Cheers
David
My mistake, the crystal is 2.5mm thick. I asked for a drawing this morning and received this.
Eddie

It is coming...
Wow, I swear, I can hear the drums already ...
:bounce:
Marcel
In that case will it fit the "old" PRS 50?
/Dawe
We already said it would.

Interesting to see the case will accept a variety of movements.
Not without modification.

Looks gorgeous Eddie, can hardly wait!
Somehow I have managed to resist the temptation of the other FF's, but I have a feeling I am going to be in trouble with my wife when this is released!
Cheers,
Griff
I've been bringing mine along gently. I hooked her when the false "in stock" designation for the old model disappointed my attempt to pick one up. Lucky for me she's very kind-hearted and mostly likes me :lol:

She just heard the "honey, but it's a limited edition" last month when I bought my Reef Ranger :wink:
Cheers,
Griff
Eddie,
Please could we see the full drawings for the new PRS-50, not just the section drawing showing the crystal?
Cheers
David
The crystal drawing is the only new drawing, all other details are identical to the earlier PRS-50 drawing.
Eddie

Love the look of that drawing!!!! 2.5mm thick acrylic crystal! Doesn't get better than that :D
I agree Martin, the domed acrylic crystal is perfect on this model. It's all very exciting, can wait to see the finished item.
Cheers
David
I have to say this is looking very interesting!
Did I miss it: what kind of engine goes under the hood of this baby?
And why not the new old stock17 jewel AS2063 auto...?
M
Availability?
(According to the drawing they would fit.)
It will be fitted with the AS2063, I bought another hundred of these at the beginning of the year.

That is great news! So this will be a limited run of 100 pieces?
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
That's not the plan :wink: .

Perfect! I didn´t manage to get one of the LE
Eddie - thanks Lord for your out of the box approach:) I was reading the other day about your old PRS 50 LE fitted with the new old stock 17 jewels AS2063... (by the way, pulled the trigger on this guy, so will not torture you anymore - 44/50 - now the wait).
Back to AS2063 in your new PRS 50: is it going to be the same as in the old PRS 50 LE?
Also can we share what we know about this “engine” , not knowing is the deal killer for many new to this madness like me; since it was produced in the 70ties - is it going to be a new old stock 17/25 jewels? Are they made new anywhere?
This is really exciting,
Marcel.
As far as I know they're not being made again but it was a remarkably popular movement in its day and they are still not difficult to get NOS, just more expensive every time :( .
