I like the look of that. A very good looking watch in my view. Thanks for the link.

I saw the video whilst over on TZUK and then had to rush of to a meeting so couldn't post a comment.

I like the look of that. The fantastic build and feel of my PRS20 has really opened my eyes to Eddie's watches and I will keep a close eye on how this one pans out. I am a tad concerned about how the splayed lugs will appear so will wait and see how others report.

Too large for me unfortunately. I like the look, though am unsure of the lugs. I've no doubt it will be very well made.

Very nice looking watch, never seen that sort of bezel marker before, look forward to some owners pictures. :D
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

I spotted this when I ordered my SB III the other day. I have the same concern about the lugs, but I too really like the overall look of it. It's very different andf very smart.
I hope some wrist shots come out soon.

Glad to hear your view of your PRS20. :)

Cheers,
Jack.

I wonder if it really is - the lug-to-lug is 51.5mm but the lugs slope down quite noticeably so i may wrap round the smaller wrist.

It seems it's quite popular...

Following the launch of the PRS-9 Precista Czech Air Force 9 hours ago, I have received an unprecedented number of orders and already have a one week backlog of shipping. I have therefore decided to disable ordering until the backlog is cleared.

Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused.

... which may be related to the long build up since Eddie first said he was going to make this watch about 9 years ago.

Looks like Eddie has a winner on his hands here.

Hope it doesn't delay the arrival of my Smiths Everest for too long. After all, we've been waiting 59 years for that one! 9 years is not trying very hard at all :lol: :lol: :lol:
