    What's the score with this? New Precista?

    Just seen this on the "Precista Original" Facebook page (whatever happened to the dodgy Precista Facebook page? - it seems to have disappeared). Apologies if it's been mentioned here before but I carried out brief search of the Timefactors sub-forum and found nothing.



    More details please Eddie!

    Looks like a dodgy mock up to me.

    I expect it is a mock up but it was posted by "Precista Original" which I assume is Eddie.

    There isn't much right on that. Mock up or not.

    I'm sure I've seen that before somewhere, is it some kind of Mission Timer mock up?

    I think it was something Eddie was considering quite a while ago, perhaps it’s being reconsidered again?

    Isn't Precista original the Swiss company trying to muscle in on Eddie's markets?

    Eddie usually posts his new ideas here first.

    I think that image appeared a while ago when a replacement for the 17C was being discussed, the hands look the same to me so perhaps it might be moving a step closer? The bezel looks familiar too ;-)

    Swiss "Precista" banned me on their Facebook page when I made some comments that they are not real...

    Exactly what I was thinking. I've read that thread in the past and think it looks superb.

    The 17c is one of my favourites. I know that the one above would be on my list.

    Nothing worse than a loose GMT I prefer mine nice and tight, the only thing I don't like is the Dreadnought bezel the rest of it looks fine to me.

    is the winding / setting crown on the left?

    And if that's not a GMT pointer, what is it?

    Questions, questions!

    seconds and minute chrono hands.

    Its the same movement as the 17c with the sub dials unused.


    I think
