Only received the case and bracelet, dial hands and crystal still not ready. I'm particularly impressed with the fit of the custom endpieces. The tube for the screw down crown is a threaded tube into the case, not friction fit.

Quite good that :D
I too like the look of that, the bracelet works well with the case.
/vince ..
Holy man! That looks amazing. The bracelet has a nice "Lumpy" look to it and appears to be quite high quality. Is that a Precista "P" engraved on the crown or something different?
Rick
That looks very good, and I really like the nice thick bracelet as well :thumbright:
Thomas
Oh! That looks promising! Although I am a NATO-fanatic the end-links-fitting looks perfect!
Cheerio, Frank
Super look - can't wait to see more.
Cheers,
Guy :)

Usually I like chrono's etc, but I think this one's even better looking than the Seagull based chrono!
I'm very interested!
Looking good 8)
The end pieces do look nice, so many watches are "nearly there" - IWC leaps to mind - and it does jar when they don't quite fit.
Roll on full production, really want one of these.

I was also looking to use this watch on a strap but the bracelet looks terrific. Love the details on the end-pieces. I love the bracelet and its construction, fullstop.
What size is the case, please?
Yes.

Every watch a story.

Case diameter: 39mm (w/o crown)
Lug width: 20mm
Lug length: 46-47mm (tip to tip)
Lugs: not drilled through
Thickness: 12.55mm
Well, that just rocks. Can I send you the blank cheque now please, Eddie?
Good work.
Wow. Got to love that bracelet. :)
Will it be available separately?
Will it fit the original Speedbird?
Best Regards - Peter
I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Just double checking ...
"Perfect!"
No. The original SB had 18mm (lugs).

That looks great Eddie! It will be a masterpiece. As I've always told you, I think the Speedbird is one of the greatest and most versatile watches you have.

I should have known that John, I've got one........... :roll:

Seconded :thumbup:
This is looking fantastic! While I am not a bracelet person, that one looks to be about right.
Very, very nice. Bravo.

I don't recall seeing brushing in that direction before - it normally runs along the case, rather than down?
Edit: or is that just the pre-production finish?
Is there a list? :wink:
Edit 2: the list comment is a joke, and not intended to be the start of a new "list"
I'll have number 10 please.
Good idea! - The first bracelet-list in watch history! :D
Cheerio, Frank
Love the case design and that bracelet is just superb. I have a Tissot and a Revue with vertical case brushing and I have to say I am not keen on it. I think horizontal would suit the watch far better.
The PRS-14 has vertical brushing.
Eddie

Hell YEAH! Sign me up for the whole kit!

The PRS-17-C also has vertical brushing (on the sides) ... and it looks good for it.
Vertical brushing is QUALITY!
john
Every watch a story.
Whoaaa! :shock:
Eddie, that looks da bomb! I´d prefer a bit chunkier crown though :)
Cheers,
I WANT! :P That looks awesome! :P
Wow, Eddie. That looks fantastic. Very impressive.
This guy who goes by the name of Platts..... He's a pro at separating WIS from their money. :D These new watches are deadly to the weak of mind and soon to be weak of wallet.
That SBIII looks to be a potential IWC slayer.
Lovely bracelet - can't wait to see the case filled up :lol:
Speaking of which... drilled lugs...? Pleaaaaaaaaase :!: :)
I think I'm just going to get my salary paid into Eddie's bank account.
Do we know (roughly) how much this is likely to cost?
What a great combo, can't wait to see the dial :D
Like a few others, I was expecting to wear it with a strap.
Not so sure now. :wink:
Very very nice 8) 8) 8)
That bracelet is beautiful. :D
One suggestion though, the case might look better if the brushing followed the long axis from lug to lug rather than top to bottom...
Eddie,
am asking risking a simple "NO", but have you yet decided if there will be the possibility to order the SB3 just
with a NATO-strap instead of the clearly fabulous bracelet or the alternative leather strap?
Cheerio, Frank
Promising. Very.
This one will sink or swim on the dial and hands but there is no reason to suspect they'll be anything other than very damn good.
Looks like it has been decided on, but I'd vote for drilled lugs too especially with tight fitting end pieces.
One other little thing - I'd also consider, as per Ming, making the case side graining go along the side rather than vertical.
But, if you are sticking to vertical, then can I suggest that the brushing on the sides of the bracelet is also vertical? Just looks better if both go the same way when a hefty bracelet is involved.
Great stuff, Eddie. I look forward very much to the watch! 8)
I think most members of TZ-UK are aware that I am hardly a bracelet fan, but that one looks really nice! :D
Cheers,
Martin ("Crusader")
I am pro-strap on this one; I hope there's a choice. :wink:
That's a point. I think I was a bit seduced by the bracelet's chunky charms. If there was a choice, I would go for leather. If the bracelet was part of the package, I would have a hard time dispensing with it. There should be a choice.
It looks beautiful so far.
David
Solve that problem by wearing it the way it is now.This one will sink or swim on the dial and hands but there is no reason to suspect they'll be anything other than very damn good.
I'm a little confused about the brewing bracelet v.s. strap controversy. The bracelet, after all, is not welded in place.
-O
I am normally prefer a strap, but this bracelet is one of the few that I really like. An excellent choice, I feel. My favorite type of deployment as well.
Looks like I'll be selling off some watches to make way for the III.
Lee
Looks like this one is moving on real quick... means i may end up buying the 14,50 and sb3 all at one shot in a couple of months time...
must really save hard
:shock: Wow!
That looks absolutely fantastic!
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
