WHAT??? How'd that happen? How will I put an order in today? I guess I can't, but everyone else said they would, there must be some secret way! And I'm not in the know!! Now all the SB3s will be gone when I can finally access timefactors.com again!!!Originally Posted by timefactors.com
Eddie is definitely out to give me a heart attack...

Sadly I think I am going to miss out on the first batch. Some day soon though...
Looks absolutely perfect :)

How about putting it in the PRS-30 case (without the crown guards) and a simple dial ... and making an individual piece instead a B-Uhr homage?Originally Posted by swanbourne

Nothing wrong with that, a swiss one will do nicely in the PRS-30 :wink:Originally Posted by swanbourne
(with the same finish as in the Italian....? PVD as option? )

Wow! The last I saw, was you saying that the Chinese were prepared to make you a HW version of their Unitas clone for the B-Uhren ... so I was thinking, why not put it in something different and unique?Originally Posted by swanbourne
A Swiss Unitas would be fine in a B-Uhren as it is perceived to be a ‘longer lasting’ model but I am also prepared to consider something different. The problem with a large handwound is that it would probably have to be a ‘dress’ rather than a ‘sports’ model. I like what Kobold did with the Sir Ernest Shackleton but I don’t like what Guinand are doing with their series 30. I am waiting to see what other people have to say.
So, let's get this straight. There is a Chinese and a Swiss centre-seconds Unitas on offer?

The only one I've been offered is the Swiss Unitas. I think the Chinese watchmaker who was offering the conversion has folded his business after his wife left him and he's gone back to Wan King.Originally Posted by abraxas

So.... how much will it cost...?
Eddie has said under £400, but that's all he's said.

Yeah, was hoping to coax a little information out of the man - blood from a stone I know. But considering it was soon to go up on the site till the error was noticed.... I'd think a price had been settled on...
please?
Yes, the price has already been calculated.

Even if it turned out to be £390, that would still represent outstanding value for the specs on offer. What is the chosen detail for the date window frame - please let us know Eddie.

The date window will be large enough to read the date on the date wheel.Originally Posted by DJG

I only hope the SB3 arrives soon - the pain of this thread is just getting too much... :drunken:
Cheers,

I feel Eddie's ambiguity regarding design details, prices and most other questions fired at him, is a deliberate marketing ploy to whip the forum members into a frenzy of anticipation!!
As the man himself says "he's a twat"!!! :lol:
David
I think the font on the date wheel needs to be just slightly bolder. And perhaps the date window just needs to be a tiny smidge larger to take account of the unusually thick dial.
hello,
sb3 is fabulous. wallet weeping kind.
er...
can we have a lume shot please? I need to know if just the cardinal points are glowing or all the other hours as well...
thanks :shock:

Hi there Eddie,
How can (or will) one of these beauties be reserved ?
Thanks :)
Spy
Read the thread - no list, no reservations.
Thanks CPF, I tried reading it but is quite long. Does that mean that once it is released, it will be first come first served from the TF website ?
