So noted!
Welcome to the club one and all :)

Best regards,
Bernd
Hi no 193 arrived the day after order in Norwich ,Norfolk ,England and its a beauteeeeeeee!
130 has landed with me today
Cheers,
Steve
I guess I have been remiss. I've got #43.
No 158 getting ready to do what it does best.
Added!
And I'm guessing you don't mean filling helium balloons... :)
235 reporting for duty. Stunning execution by Eddie. It's my third Precista (along with PRS-18A and PRS-14 - now sold) and the best of the lot so far. Don't think it will be my last...
No. 27 now living with me in South Devon as a replacement for the stolen one..
I have been meaning to reply to this thread for ages!
Number 28 is with me in South West London… a picture for the hell of it.
#322 has just arrived in Ealing West London via MattVan in Cornwall. (looks like there are 2 or maybe 3 in W5 looking at the map)
I have to say it is a massive jump in quality over my other Timefactors PRS5. (and that is in no way poor quality). The build quality is close if not equal to my Sinn's
Matt was really is easy to deal with as well.
Quick Pic.

I put mine on Eddies grey NEW 2-PIECE NYLON WITH DEPLOYANT CLASP which looks perfect.
#168 has just arrived back in Sheffield with me this morning
Let's see some pictures
Very happy to say No 435 is now in Lancashire, I'm very impressed.
Cheers
Time to update the location list, #69 now in Ebbw Vale, South Wales.
#003 is here with me, south-east London.
My first diver. I don't think I'll need another.
Hi all
#67 touched down in Helsinki, Finland :-)
Thanks
deano
#76 surfaced in CR6 today.
I asked for #69 and its in West Oxfordshire. Love it.
#20 arrived in sunny Portland, Oregon last week. Great watch!
Thanks!
Good Lord are we up to 170 already... !?
Had an e-mail from Eddie last week and only 7 PRS-82's were available.
Number 162 arrived this Friday in Brussels together with a beautiful PRS-20 California for my wife.
I initially planned to order one for Christmas but it seems it was a good idea to order earlier
...no. 99 arrived in Germany
Now waiting for the Dreadnought rallye on Saturday :-)
Best regards
KH
Hi KH. Could you please say what watchband you show your PRS-82 on is and where you sourced it?
I ask because one of my own favorite watchbands is a NATO in what the manufacturer calls "Desert Sand" colour and yours appears to me to be of exactly or at least very near the same colour as mine. However, the fabric of yours seems of a comparatively heavier Zulu-like weave. Whatever it is, I think the '82 looks especially good on it.
And if you don't mind my further asking, is that a Benchmade partially serrated/black coated [SBK] blade "Griptilian" your '82 is resting on?
Hope you got your Dreadnought O.K., BTW
Thanks
number 63 now arrived in Singapore [I think it is 63 [not 68] ....actually kinda hard to read without a magnifier for middle aged folks :) ]
nice watch and nice size for smallish wrists.
The number will also be written on the TimeFactors card inside the watch case. :)
thanks for that. it is number 68 then. time to go to specsavers....
No, it could be 63, I'm picking up my new glasses today.
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
ok thanks - i photographed the back on my phone and expanded it ... looked more like 63 as 3 was 'open' on LHS, card said 68.
even with vari focals - could not make it out by just my eyesight.
anyway .. very nice watch [ thanks ]

No 85 arrived in Singapore yesterday and on the wrist now!
I knew the PRS-82 would be popular but it has now become the fastest selling watch in Time Factors history. I know the first 50 of the Speedbird III sold out in a few minutes but the PRS-82 has sold 124 in just 3 days of opening. The PRS-68 sold 108 in the same time.

It looks fantastic and I think the size broadens the appeal - big enough to look modern but not too big to scare off people with more delicate wrists than mine. Oozes quality, is a billy bargain at the price for me.
Couldn't agree more. The price was lower than I expected and the size is reasonable by modern standards.and I think the size broadens the appeal - big enough to look modern but not too big to scare off people with more delicate wrists than mine. Oozes quality, is a billy bargain at the price for me.
The choice of watches for those of us with modest wrists is becoming increasingly limited and the Swiss seem intent on making everything so expensive, so when a watch hits the bullseye size and price wise its a no brainer.
Its a cracking watch that looks better in the flesh than any picture.
Agree with both here.
I think there is a real niche for 40mm ish good quality, well styled modern watches.
Most modern divers style watches seem to be 42-45mm+ , and if from a Swiss manufacturer .. can be around 2000 - 2500 GBP with an ETA movement , and are NOT actually very exclusive.
I have been looking for a new watch for a while ... was looking at Tudor black bays and Pelagos ... which are both very nice, but a bit pricy considering ETA / bought in movements .. and are at the upper end of wearable size for someone with 6.75 inch wrists like me.
This watch really hits a sweet spot :
> simple and atractive style
> right size and weight [broad appeal]
> authenticity / history behind the design
> limited edition / rarity
> excellent quality
> right price

I agree 100% -- looked for a watch for a whole YEAR until the PRS-82 came along.
Fortunately the curse-of-the-skinny-wrist turned out to be a blessing in this instance! :)
N°70 for me, arrived this tuesday !
101 in Ealing west London
150 (Grrv8) and 159 (son of Grrv8!) are in Eastbourne, (UK).
Nr 141 arrived in Helmond, The Netherlands.
