Bestak: The case of the Davosa looks identical to the Zeno.

It does, rather. I quite like that, though (I'm a non-purist and like a date on my watches).

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
Like KH (finkaudio), I have an original I don't wear much and am very much looking forward to having another modern version of a classic from Time Factors to sport!
In the middle of re-working an old Longines (I assume this case shape started with Longines - maybe I'm wrong) watch sounds like a really good place to be, so well done Time Factors. There's an awful lot in the Longines back catalogue which could stand a new airing, especially these days with an increased interest in more classic designs.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
So, based on the pic at the top of this thread, it seems like this is either a Limited Edition or a combination initial Limited Edition plus a later general edition.
Long, long ago, on forum thread far away, reservations were taken for a limited edition of this watch. Will they be still be honored (for those who are still interested) for any Limited Edition version of this watch? Eddie???
It's not going to be a limited edition and there is no reservation list.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Fantastic. I have no attachment to the limited edition idea. I was lucky enough to secure a Dreadnought when they came out but i always wished that it had not been a limited edition. I think great design should be available to everyone who can pay the price.
I am really hoping that the CAF will be as good as, or better than, the DN was.

Great, but, given the limited number of movements available for the first run, it might be a nice gesture to allow those from the original (years old) waiting list to at least have first dibs on the (non-limited, but likely high-in-demand) watch when it is first released, out of respect for their years of patient waiting and support of the project. Shouldn't be too hard to email them in advance... I'm just sayin'... :wink:
Say away... I've tried that tack several times over the years and alwyas get the same response...
:lol:
It appears the original list, on which I am number 3 BTW, was lost
Just sayin' :wink:

I know this is probably a silly question but....
.....Any idea of pricing yet Eddie?
I know it'll be a fair price, just need to see how much more I need to save.
Save around 500 GBP and see how it goes. :D

Crikey, don't give Eddie ideas! The watch might only cost £150* and you're giving him permission to charge £500? :shock:
*In my dream world.
I am strangely interested, "can almost see the white in their eyes".
I don't think Mr Eddie needs anyone's permission. :roll:

I just looked at the current price of a PRS-20 and added a turning bezel. :|That would do very nicely sir :D .Save around 500 GBP and see how it goes. :D

Been watching this since the first drawings, and I'm even more attracted to it than I was then...I assume the 12 weeks to available is holding at 12 weeks quite nicely!
A PRS, almost imminent, feeling all faint! :D
Tim
Any chance of a white dialled version???
Eddie

:D :D :D
Eddie
it might have been my imagination but wasn't there going to be a solid silver cased version of this?
I think you're right, it was considered. Same box as the white dialled one probably :?:
Tim
Can I buy:
one white dial
and one black dial with date
?
:drunken:
Hmmm......
Majetek Vojenské Spravy.

By the way, the NCB you need is 16 :wink:
A week since the last post. Any ETA yet please Eddie?? :bounce:
There should be something to show by the end of this week but it won't be a finished watch.

Bag of bits and some instructions? :lol: :wink: :lol:

Bag of bits, blank dial, Letraset, flat-pack furniture style assembly instructions and a pot of stealth lume with applicator brush.

I wager someone will want a very slightly differently style of bag whatever is proposed - ziplock rather than press stud, clear rather than opague, white rather than black :lol:
Gray
this could be your next watch...the Smith's "Ikea" (some assembly required) :bounce: :DBag of bits, blank dial, Letraset, flat-pack furniture style assembly instructions and a pot of stealth lume with applicator brush.

Here's what I've got so far: I asked for a case to check that the strap was a good fit (it is). That isn't factory applied WABI on the case, it's an unfinished case :wink: .

Looking good... now, it just needs to land in time for my 50th in November :wink:
Gray
This is going to be lovely :wink:
Smart looking case :D
I'm thinking of asking for mine to be unfinished 8) Looks good with a bit of wabi-sabi.
I am with that. It looks oddly attractive, Eddie you could start a trend here like with the DN :D
That looks very good. I am especially fond of that case shape. Does anyone know what it's called? I've seen it called 'cushion' but that's wrong; 'cushion' refers to a more rounded and elongated shape. It's very similar to the shape used on Benarus Morays, Panerais and others.
Not sure the correct name, or even if it has one. It's like a cross between a "Tonneau", and a "Squircle".
A small Tonneau would be a "Keg", and that's not very romantic
So i'm calling the shape "Squircle-Tonneau" :wink:
LOL. Actualy, "squircle" on its own is quite descriptive. ;-)
I've always referred to rounded-off square cases as cushions :?:
Ah, I always thought of cushion cases as the longer, rounder case shape (like these http://www.doxa300t.com/6309shark/6309shark.htm ).I've always referred to rounded-off square cases as cushions :?:
Mark, I've always thought that Doxa fans had it somewhat wrong. I think I know what a cushion looks like and it's pretty square with some rounded parts. I do think the 6105 Seikos are cushion cases because they are almost as wide as they are long, but more modern Seikos have gone away from that and Doxas are noticeably longer than they are wide.
The shape of the lugs definitely enters into the calculation and short or hooded lugs definitely lend more of a cushion look to a case.
Happy to hear differently and also happy to just use Squircle :lol:
I'll leave you with a not-often seen "cushion"
If you put it that way the the Benarus Moray/Benrus 70s diver/Panerai/CAF (BMB7PC) shape is certainly 'cushion'-like but it's still not the shape I associate with 'cushion case' which are like the watches in that link. ;-)
I agree.
Agreed again.
I still think we need a different name (other than 'cushion') for the BMB7PC shape and I agree that 'squircle' seems good for now. I'm sure I've actually seen a specific name for it though, I just can't remember what it was.
Hang on, shouldn't that one be 'small ornamental circular throw cushion' style? ;-)I'll leave you with a not-often seen "cushion"
.
I don't know what the case is called but the lugs are known as 'splayed lugs'.

Would it be impertinent to ask for the diameter and lug-to-lug length (he asked cringingly)?
