Same here, seeing the photos is making me crazy but I can't stop coming here to take a look... :roll:
Here's the wrist shots of the 1st PRS-50B arrived in Spain (not mine though :( for more click the photo).

I think it's a modern interpretation of the Mk XI. See this article: http://www.timezone.com/library/cjrml/c ... 2675690324
Here's some highlighs of the article that answer some of your questions:
Eddie went ahead with C3 because...
In a sense that's great news, as it allows to get both worlds happy. The non-aged lume fans (like me) are happy and I hope that aged lume fans will be satisfied after the new tests.
It's bright as a bright thing initially but the afterglow is poor and short-lived :( .

So, are you going to try another option or going straight to C3?
I don't like the minute/second internal track. It makes the dial look smaller because the hour marks are closer to the center.
I like the suggestion to discard the 3 and 9, the dial looks much...
My thoughts exactly, with time the lume (and the watch) will look old, no need to hurry that. :wink:
That said, old lume won't be a deal breaker, but will lower its priority on my list.
Have you been looking at Doxas? :)[/quote]
Nope, is there anything original from them? :wink: :)
Cool. I agre that orange on orange is a bit too much.
Maybe option of black or silver bezel (might look good on orange and blue)?

The only reasonable (well, less unreasonable) place I see is replacing the square bellow the 12. But honestly, that would be a killer for me... :shock:
I'm keeping it on the bracelet, because I'm one of those that simply love the bracelet (and I was one of those lucky guys that got a perfect fit).
But I can understand those that prefer black...
Back to black, just placing some thoughts about my recently received SB3.
First, about the package, I think it's very adequate, no luxuries or fancy unusefull gadgets, but very nice.
The watch is...
116 here. Superb watch, but bracelet adjustement system is a PITA (I know I'm in minority here, but I hate screwed bracelets adjustement system as I risk screwing the bracelet... instead of...
138 and counting, surely... :wink: :)
Just for the record, I've stated preference for a non-sterile dial, closer in style to the original Mk XI, not dislike.
The watch is really a beauty with or without writings on the dial.
I still find the watch superb, but adding Speedbird 3 on the top part of the dial (similar layout of lettering in the Mark XI) would make it even better IMO.
Lol, then I suggest DragEagle for the name...
My wife was furious with me after saying she was ready to go out at 14:40 and I took more than half a hour to leave... :D
OMG, I must have been one of the last.
I had major troubles trying to place the order. Had to switch from the extra-secure set up of my FireFox and start IE.
My order was processed at 15:12 and...
