I got this from a trade. The dial has some discolouration at 4pm.

Original PRS-3
Owned 5 of these over the years, wish I'd kept the last one...

Sweet! Looks like a tough old campaigner!
Wow these are looking very nice watches with high qualities. The owner of these watches must have invested big investment in making these watches because without making any big investment and ideal marketing strategies a business can not be even successful. Heavy investment in any business and correct marketing strategies and target marketing makes a business well established.
Random or what?:wacky:Quote:

WOW great watches
As many long-time users of this forum know, the Broadarrows were the original brand of military-style watches registered by our host. He had to stop selling them after a long legal battle with Omega (rather, with a US law firm who hoped to make money by inciting Omega to pretend they owned the brand name). 'Broad Arrow' was informally used by watch owners to designate certain Omega models that carried the arrow logo, which historically designates all sorts of military equipment as being owned by or built for the British Crown. (Omega, like many watch makers, at some point provided watches to the British military). Only our host, Eddy Paatts, ever registered the word 'Broadarrow' as a real watch brand, but being small he had to give up his legal battle with Omega. Thus, production of Broadarrows was halted and most models unintentionally ended up as very limited series. For instance, of the PRS-3 in its different variants (steel/black dial, black PVD/black dial...) only a few hundred were ever made and of each version only about 75 or so exist (the black PVD/black dial version was sold as the PRS-4 but is marked as PRS-3 on the back). To say that these are extremely rare is an understatement. Several models were re-issued, sometimes improved, as Precistas. For instance, the Precista version of the PRS-3 has a larger case, the PRS-10b has a screwed crown and screwed back plus a lithium-powered movement, and so forth. Descriptions of most models can still be found in the archives of this forum or on the site of Timefactors.Quote:

Personally I own a PRS-4 (black PVD PRS-4 with black dial) and wear it about every other day. After six years or so of hard use it still looks good and is on its first lithium battery. :-) And I know I wear something far more exclusive than most big-brand 'limited series' watches of which in reality, thousands were sold.
Keep looking, this one turned up on ebay recentlyQuote:
