After reading this i have changed my email from hotmail to a work address. I hate missing out!
That had to be the best looking watch I have seen for a long time.
Mind if I ask how that will be done?
I was under the impression it is slightly too soft for screwdon crown manufacture (which would explain the usual use of a stainless crown on other watches).
Will it be screwdown? I notice the caseback is 100m WR, so screwdown is not necessary I suppose.

Eddie,
I've not had chance to trawl through the entire thread, but will the watch in the original post be made (stainless steel)? I far prefer it to the bronze one;
Not sure this is quite the place ref. cost of ordering 300 watches, dangers of pre-pay (a la MKII) and customer support; however, some of the crowdsourcing approaches currently available provide an opportunity to gather project specific investment in a way that couches the investment as structured support to enable a particular project, with the potential to participate in purchase of product later (if necessary).
As ever, it takes effort to create the pitch, but does provide reasonably ready access to seed capital.
My business is working on this as an approach, and I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has!
But the crown is still confusing me, looking at the AutoCad design drawing, the crown looks nice, but the real picture of the "prototype" that comes up when you google PRS30 has the large golden onion crown. Which one will it be?

Oh Eddie You rotten little tease!!!!!!I already have both kidneys,arms,legs for sale on a well known auction site.
Now that is one beautiful sight......
so the closure was there for a good reason ( except for some well earned R&R ;-) )

Second time I've been tempted by a bronze watch. Looking forward to this!
They look absolutely amazing.
Standing ovation from over here..
What a beautiful sight. My credit card is poised :)
Very much like the look of these - will be very tempted when they're available
Oh my.
Hoping I'm quick enough after these go on sale to get one.
The 30 looks VERY good... gutted it has a date window. Might have to break my date window phobia for this one!
Hoping I am quick enough and have the funds spare. Might have to be a cheaper holiday but doubt the wife and kids would agree
Did you receive all 300, or was the final build a lower number?
Wow, very nice. I might have to make this my 3rd Bronze watch.
I really want one. Come on job offers :-(

Frustratingly I think I'm going to be skint as these appear. Hopefully I'll get a look at the second batch later in the year. Will be nice to see that one out and on sale.

Really liking the sneakie peakie but still no tellie wellie of the pricy wicy. :-)
They look great Eddie! What is the lug to lug size on these? Hope they fit my spindly wrist...
Uh oh. Looks like July will be even more expensive than first thought!
Another dent in the holiday budget no doubt !
A quick pocket camera picture of one of the hand-made straps which will be supplied with the PRS-30 (the other one is black). Although quite thick, it's super-soft.

for an old timer... can someone quickly post the dimensions and the projected asking price (if known) for this beauty, and if it's general admission when they go on sale vs some sort of pre order list? There's like, 11 pages of posts on this thread.
I can't remember the last time Eddie did a pre-order list, and I don't think he's given a price estimate yet. I imagine it will fit within Timefactor's price range, plus a bit( :) )
