    +1 on the 40mm as soon as I find a credit card (with room) :shock:

    Platts never disappoints so the offering will be fantastic for the price. Now just to get a shopping list of straps to throw in on the order...

    Yes also had to add a couple of straps to the order, namely a black aviator and black rally for starters.

    +1 40mm. I thought it would come in around £130. Bargain :thumbright:

    Yup I was well happy with the price, means I can get a few straps with the extra I was thinking of spending.

    Re: PRS 27 Who's ordered one?

    Mine's been dispatched which is a good feeling. I love inbound.


    ***
    I'm always intrigued on feedback from forums where the new release is heavily scrutinized --- too big,
    too small, don't like hands, don't like name....etc.
    Yet the same gents have a strong collection of mass produced, run of the mill watches.
    Odd to me..... I see each PRS as a collection of research and various avenues of input. Attention to detail
    for quality and practicality. And of course a finished product and extras that are more than fair in terms
    of price.

    is it just me or are some people completely nuts...? :scratch:

    John (nuts.....and wearing my PRS5 today)

    I have. Couldn't resist at that price. :) If it helps, I am travelling Tue/Wed this week, so won't be at home to receive any earlier than Thur. Feel free to put me at the back of the order fulfillment queue.

    Hey all, when the parcels start arriving, I guess I probably don't need to ask for some pics to get posted Can't wait to see them and then hopefully get one :P

    As of 15 minutes ago there is a nice parcel on my kitchen table :D Shame I'm still 11 hours and 65 miles away...

    I'm sure Mrs E gets preferential treatment being a Post Mistress :wink:

    Re: PRS 27 Who's ordered one?

    I have to say, the PRS 27 does not float my boat at all, but that is just a matter of personal taste, I suppose. On the other hand: while I was on the web site to look at the PRS 27 I started to look again at all the other beauties that Eddie sells and I did the inevitable:
    I ordered the PRS 50B early afternoon yesterday.
    But, since Eddie is busy posting all the PRS 27`s, I might have to wait a bit longer than usual to get my hands on it. Damn you all..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Cheers, Mick

    Re: PRS 27 Who's ordered one?

    Mine came, looks great and in a nice single watch zip holder. Thinner than I anticipated. I'm going to have to try it on the red strap but not just yet.
    Sorry, no pics just yet.

    Eddie, why's it called the 27B?

    I had my dispatch confirmation e-mail today. Excited at the prospect.

    This is the start of a slippery slope.

    Looking at straps now too, do like the look of the Ostrich grain with the white stitching.

    Re: PRS 27 Who's ordered one?

    Well 018/10 arrived today and I can only reitterate what I've read about the quality of Eddie's products.

    From the order, packinging, case etc - amazing quality for £99 - the first 200 should run away.

    The Volvo 1800 I owned had a lovely array of Smith's guages - so in some way, a slightly nostalgic feeling for the watch.

    Re: PRS 27 Who's ordered one?

    15A & 15B arrived today.

    All appears ok, thank you Eddie.

    They are now tucked away until 14 Feb, when I will present 15A to the Mrs.

    Cheers

    Peter

    I like it too. Not one I'd wear, but I do like the look of it.
