I'll be interested to see photos of the final watch, renders rarely reflect the way a watch will look in reality, but I still think it's a shame the secondary hands went to orange.

Hi all
Cheeky sneak peak of the rear of the PRS-56 ;-)

Thanks
deano
And the front, looks great

Having said I was disappointed in a lot of the design choices from the original idea of a 17C reissue, I have to say that looks great!

Yep, that'll do nicely, thank you. I will join the scrum with trepidation for one of these.
The matte white hands look like they are steel ( whie would be better) otherwise looks the business.
That is so cool and sharp. I love the case-shape and "all the angles and transitions". It looks so much better than the renders.
Eeek, that's mighty fine.
Sadly my excitement is somewhat tempered by the likelihood of being able to snag one.
I hope so, I'm a sucker for centre minutes.
I was hoping for the mission timer in the original 17 case, but this tangential departure has really caught my eye.
Mission timer and commander next year.
No more releases next year please Eddie.

Looks great!
Looking at this again, I wonder whether the crown might be better a little further into the case, less proud.
With no date and quartz movement, it is not likely to get used that much, so closer intot the case would improve it for me...
With all the choices that needed to have been made, I think that the final product looks great. I am very excited to see this Timefactors watch come to realisation.
Kind regards
Sunnie

Sorry if I’ve missed this already - is the crown push or screw down, please?

I have such good memories of my 17C that this feels like a really good idea! Just been through the development history in the thread to remind myself of how it got here.
So, just a bunch of patience and optimism that one can be acquired!

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Looks good (especially silver with the black bezel, imo).
I wonder what the price will be?
I'd planned not to buy anymore watches this year, too!
I wonder, though, if the left side chrono buttons might be a bit awkward to use? I wear my watch on my left wrist and use my right index finger to work the buttons usually.
I will watch this one with anticipation...

When one normally uses a right-pusher chrono, one usually holds the watch case with the thumb where this pusher is, so it is actually very intuitive using chrono this way round.
They look great. All 3 (but I "only" want 2 of them).
Shame I stand so little chance getting one.
Silver/black for me please :-), but maybe this might become my first DLC watch, albei I dont know how sturdy it will be, a scratch in stainless steel is much easier to overlook than a scratch in DLC, if it cuts through to the shiny bit s underneath I suppose.
Everything about that looks awesome!
EDIT: during the course of today I've already changed my mind from s/s with black bezel to the full DLC loveliness :)

I'll be after the DLC version, it looks spot-on to me.

I agree, I'm not normally a black watch person, but this could very well change that!
Buttons are on the wrong side for me, so I’m still holding out for the PRS40 chrono, which is a sort of in between solution, button wise ;)
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Looks fantastic.
Any chance these might be available for sale on Sunday?

Where the blazes are those bloomin' bracelets?
Here is a little treat for you. Certainly was a treat for me.
I do a spot of writing for the Watchgecko magazine, and asked Eddie if I could borrow a Mission Timer or two for review.
He said yes, and I submitted my review and (sadly) returned all 3 versions today.
Here is a photo to whet your appetites
When the review goes live I shall link it to this thread so that you can have a read.
Believe me, this watch will not disappoint. Far from it.
Dave
Many thanks Dave.
I’ll look out for the review. It looks great . Hopefully it will be available on the store soon.

Dave, when timing, after an hour does the timer stop, or does it roll over?
Great stuff Dave, certainly wets the appetite.

Great photo!
Look forward to the article, and know which one's on my wishlist
I am waiting for the GQ write up.
Just joking. Looking forward to your review, Dave!
Looking forward to seeing some wrist shots.
Personally speaking, of course, this doesn't look quite so appealing in that photo as I thought it would from the renders.
Based on it alone, I've switched to preferring the black-coated one, but I really don't need another black watch.
I'm sure, though, it'll be a huge success, and who knows, next photo may have me wanting all 3 versions
