That looks fantastic - I especially like that fact the crown does not detract from the overall look - it's another winner!

It's just a matter of time...
Love the look of this one. It's going to be too pricey for me, but I think it'll sell like hot cakes! :)
I keep returning to the photos, looks great. Nice contrast with the black strap. The watch isn't overtly serious, but I think it's still quite subtle. Would really love to have one.
That looks great Eddie, I'll be getting one if I can get my order in quick enough It's been a long time since the bronze watch was first mooted and I'm glad I've waited and not plumped for a Magrette.
Gorgeous. I really can't afford more than, say, two more watches this summer... and I have at least five Timefactors' offerings on my radar
I very much want one - have been looking forward to this since it was announced - but it depends on the price. There is a limit, sadly. Still, If I can't have one it will benefit someone else on here.
top grade
i really like this one. the dial is very well balanced and the placement of the date window is excellent. if my wrists wouldnt be so small i would be VERY interested.
The classic Doctor's watch....
..... well done Eddie!
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Could I have one on Monday please? I'll be in to sign for it...

Stop faffing man and get packing
Actually, take your time. I can't get one yet!

I've finally made my mind up that the PRS-30 will be my entry into of the world of the Precista Owners Club.
I'm even working a double overtime shift this weekend to help pay for one!
I think this will be my first Time-Factors watch. I think it looks fantastic. I really hope I get one and it doesn't look to big on my girly wrists.
Bloody hell Chris, that looks fantastic. The case back is as much of a delight as the view from the front. How does it wear? If you have the wherewithal, a wrist shot would be splendid.
Wow, it does look really cool... So is the face more a chocolate black than jet black? Seems to be quiet a contrast with the date wheel. Bronze looks ace!
How did you get your hands on one?
What's the dimensions please.
I didn't think this had been released yet? Have I missed something? What price?
Looks like Tuesday could be a hectic day!
Here's a few pics I took on my phone yesterday evening. The bronze reflects the sun beatifully, in any light the bronze has a warmth to it that steel doesn't. I'm looking forward to seeing how this ages.
The dial is a very smooth, eggshell finish in charcoal which offers a nice contrast to the gloss black hands and black date wheel.
This is the first sandwich dial watch I've studied and it has quality and depth that a printed dial doesn't – I've tried to capture the depth on an image below.
As for how it wears: I've worn a Speedmaster Pro everyday for the last 4 years and this didn't feel any larger or smaller on the dial side. The strap is noticeably chunkier to what I 'm used to, and the buckle is big, as they are on this type of watch. Both straps are thick yet soft and very comfortable.
My Dad was quite taken with it...
Domed crystal, matt dial, gloss hands lovelyness.
You're in for a treat with the packaging.
I'm extremely happy with the final result. There are details to this watch which are a joy to behold and it's exceeded my expectations in every way.
About 5 years ago I badly illustrated a watch and emailed to Eddie and asked if he'd be interested in making something like it. He created this thread and the watch developed from there. With comments from the TZ collective I developed the design until we ended up with something that Eddie felt could be viable. Eddie then refined the design and committed to manufacture. And here we are now.

This weekend I'm taking shots for the accompanying materials. This is a special Precista, and so will be packaged in a special way however it won't be ready for Tuesday.
Even more stunning than I was hoping for...
Any chance of a wrist shot on the brown strap?
Well done both of you. I was thinking about a bronze case for a while but there was something about the offerings from the Helsons and Benarus but they never quite did it for me, I knew I'd flip it sooner or later.
Nope, I've made my mind up. Tuesday I'm getting my self a Doc Savage!
Bloody marvelous - even better than anticipated - and anticipations were high.

Looking fantastic.
Might be a bit chunky for my wrists with those straps but if I do get my hand on one, maybe a thinner strap would make it more suitable for me.
the shots with sunlights show indeed a lot of contrast between the hands frame, the date wheel and the dial, light brown in this conditions. not sure about the effect
is the buckle 24mm? how long is the strap, if i may ask?
My mistake, I missed the importance of the word 'wrist' to you as I was thinking it isn't that difficult to imagine what a brown strap on the watch on a wrist would look like (there are pictures of the brown strap) and it wouldn't be too different from the wrist picture shown Chris posted.
I can't see that it would stop anyone from buying one because there is a choice provided and also there are a hundred plus other straps that could be used from other sources.
I want one these so much! Where do I sign?
Here you go:
I'll add that I've taken this on my phone which tries to colour balance the shot which makes the original photo look cooler that it appears in reality. For that reason I've added a warm instagram effect which helps illustrate how the watch looks on brown. The charcoal dial has the slightest hint of warm grey which is brought out with the bronze case and brown leather. It really does look fantastic on this strap.

Looks amazing on both straps! Chris, what size wrist do you have?

I love that case shape. Perhaps, Eddie, you could consider doing a diver in that shape in stainless steel in due course? :-)
Oooooooooh that's good!
I made my mind up that it will be my next purchase and was already looking at different (i.e. shorter) straps to compliment the look of the PRS30 but it looks smarter and dressier than my brass Maranez Layan. The canvas/leather type straps that I was looking to get may not go so I think I'll go for a similar leather strap to the one on the Tudor BB...
The black leather looks fantastic though!
