Reply With QuoteIt is a real beauty for sure... a re-issue could be a great idea, especially as the build quality of Eddie's watches gets better with every release. A really solid crown like the '82 would be fantastic.
Here is a recent shot of mine.
I slated MkII for making an Omega SM300 Homage - but with NOS versions drying up, Omega not selling parts anymore would our host consider a reissue of his own PRS14...?

Would love a reissue of this watch as I missed it the first time round.
I owned one and enjoyed it. A reissue with a larger crown would be even better.
Bigger crown and maybe not quite as tall :)
I have one of the original issue. But, if I'm not mistaken, there was a second issue a few years ago of another 1-200. I believe it was exactly the same.
Or maybe I'm starting to lose it. ;)
I had one before, but it really could do with a quality bracelet.
I've got two.
One on a NATO, one on a strap.
Love mine (wearing it now) but would happily buy anther with a bigger crown (& a date option would be nice).
I'm just about to stick mine up on SC if anyone is interested?
I have to reduce the collection a bit. I agree with the Cap'n about the bracelet though.
I have 2 also, the crown and lack of date are the only real problems. Other stuff I would like it to be thinner and retain antimagnetism too. Bracelet also would be ideal. Titanium would be cool.
I swapped the dial out for one with a date. One of them has the dreaded thread issue on the crown or tube. The one I modded. So am using it as a spares or beater though except for the crown thing it is working etc very well.
Yeah I have run into the same problem with NOS drying up. It has wet my appetite for an homage!
+1 for a reissue with a larger crown (I found mine very difficult to set). My PRS-82 is a dream and I often think to myself that had the PRS-14 had a similar crown I might still have it.
The crown does not seem like such a big deal once you are familiar with it - certainly not a deal breaker. I push the crown in and turn the watch? Hope that is OK. It doesn't turn very much at all before it locks. I have taken it in water, not diving, and it is still ticking...
