Those are blo*dy marvellous Eddie. I am tempted by both now.
I can confidently predict a spike in blood pressure next Sunday.
Now where are my pills?

The named strap hasn't gone unnoticed...

Is the one you opened one of the prototypes? Or from the stock delivery? Check the thicknesses. The autos will be thicker.

I have to confess, I would prefer a hand winder for this particular one!
Catching up on this thread:
1. As a fan of thinner watches, I'd prefer a manual movement if we can get the thickness down a bit. If these are sold as autos, will Eddie run a thinner v2.0 with manuals?
2. Don't they both look absolutely amazing; may I encourage you all to buy the white dial .
3. That watch roll is fantastic too! Perfect for my fledgling collection. When can we buy that?
Knocked it out of the park. They look great. Will there be 50 of each colour and half of those manual and half auto? I also wonder if like the Navigator there will be more produced in the year ahead?
Over on Instagram it says there won’t be anymore, they are a limited run (and they are all automatic)

Eddie when these go on sale will there be the option to buy as a set as per your photo above?
Thanks
Sean
They really do look superb - well done 👍
Eddie - are you going to sell the two watches and the roll as one item?
Eddie, any chance of confirmation on the price..would love both, but I've another incoming from Germany the same week ..
Love it... Amused
I'll take 25 sets please.
Whilst I would love to be able to buy both as a set, I will delighted to get one if I am able to do so.
Are these limited to 50 watches of each colour?

Really like this mono-pusher, however the depth of the case is making me have second thoughts, 12-13mm is normally my limit of feeling comfortable wearing a watch.
I quite like a fat watch. It's diameter that does my head in. The Speedy Pro always feels a bit like a dinner plate on me. 34-40mm is perfect. Any >40 and I'm a lot less keen.
Ideally, 36-38mm with 18mm lugs is my sweet spot.
This, though, look great. I'm a sucker for autos (another thing that counts against the Speedy Pro) and when I saw this was, er, accidentally rotor-powered my heart did a little leap for joy.
I think it's going to get a lot of wrist-time. As The Gent said "It's always hard to tell from a spec sheet how a watch will wear" and that is true (same with clothes, shoes etc) but even so I think this one will be just fine. ;-)
At 15mm thick it might not want the extra height caused by a NATO passing underneath it but that's OK. Apparently other straps are available.
The original was 14mm thick and sported a pretty high dome plexi. Decisions, decisions…
If this watch performs as we'll as the mini dreadnought, it will be incredible
I can't sing the mini dreads plus points loudly enough

Wait for the acrylic version
With the limited numbers, impressive spec shet, great design and value price, I'll warrant this is destined to be another Dreadnought, it's bound to be traded comfortably over the RRP

Here's three more monopushers all using the Sellita SW510MP movement. I'm sure if they had the "Top" grade movement, they would have mentioned it.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I think it looks superb. Fingers crossed for Sunday

Strangely my Farer Lomond is a better timekeeper than the PRS-48 despite the latter's Top movement, presume this is down to how well they were regulated during manufacture; both great watches mind.
