Speedbird 3 Spec

[Dave E]

Odd question, but I can't seem to put my hands on the answer: what PRS number will the SB3 be?

PRS-1 - Speedbird
PRS-7 - Speedbird II
PRS-? - Speedbird III

PRS 22 on the case back picture at the begining of this thread. (could be 23 its hard to tell!!)

Hadn't noticed that, I'd agree it looks like PRS-22.

Please, please, please, please, please don't put on the silver hands.

Every cheapo Argos / Elizabeth Duke special has plated / silver hands.

Anything other than silver...

I think we can rule out anything other than a round dial :wink:

I think it's going to have a date. Something like a Mark XII.

According to information received this morning, the SB3 could be here by the end of this week. As there's no list, that could be interesting.

Ah, it was too much to hope for, I guess? ;)

No matter, I can wait.

>strained silence<

I don't want to, though.

The black date wheels for the movements didn't arrive until Thursday so they should be here next week. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

This quotation was voted the number one movie line of all time by the American Film Institute 2005.

In the novel Gone with the Wind, Rhett does not say "Frankly", but simply "My dear, I don't give a damn". The context is also different; he is speaking quietly to Scarlett in a room, not storming dramatically out of the house.

We know you do give a damn ... and just playing hard to get. :tongue4:

You're obviously confusing me with someone who gives a damn John. :D

As I was reading John's post, I was about to say the same ... :lol:

[Onkel C]

[JDB]

That's tremendous. :salute:

[MikeB]

Brilliant!

[Daddelvirks]

:lol: :lol: :lol: ,

You wizzzzzzzkid, I wish I'd be able to do that.

Cheers,

When the SB3 comes out I might decide not to give a damn but I am not here to win arguments. :blackeye:

... it's called passive aggressive and it's the only way to deal with these hostile noth'eners. :bom:

Pssst, what day next week? :twisted:

john

[Crusader]

Pssst, what day next week? :twisted:

Thursday, almost certainly Thursday. The only day next wekk that I'll be on a daylong business trip without internet connection (I have UMTS mobile internet, but I'll be driving for most of the day).

[khumzi]

It's got to be a day when even if ordered early that same day, one wouldn't actually get one's SB3 until at least after a weekend of antici pation.

[odj]

Worse. SB3 release coincides with 3G iPhone!

Frankly, who gives a damn?

(About that phone I mean...)

[mr1973]

Looking forward to seeing the first pics in the friday thread (again) :twisted:

[Dave E]

Not here yet, then :(

[swanbourne]

Not here yet, then :(

No, the black date wheels are rather remarkably being held in customs between Switzerland and Germany.

Well everybody is watching football here ;)

Cheerio, Frank

[Dazzler]

Not for much longer :twisted:

[Daddelvirks]

Well at least for a bit longer :)
They all turned orange now 8) .

Shame about them date-wheels.

Cheers,

Daddel.

[SimonH]

Any progress? A one word answer will suffice :lol: :lol:

[Glamdring]

A colour bar?

[Qatar-wol]

Am I the only one who spotted this in the 'Friday' thread? Eddied had said that he's had 272 watches delivered, and

Nothing will be available for sale until next weekend at the earliest, except perhaps the 222 PRS-10 with black date.

Eddie

272 - 222 leaves.... 50 SBIII! Woo! :D

[Seamus]

No






(Ahh that felt good :D )

Eddie

[mr1973]

They've just arrived.

Eddie

AAAARGH!

[Qatar-wol]

Sweet - I'll be glued to my PC, credit card at the ready!

[Dave E]

They've just arrived.

Eddie

Cool!

[quoll]

I feel like this again....

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Daddelvirks]

This makes a wounded guy happy :) .
My PRS50 is my lucky watch, so maybe a Speedbird3 can be as well.

Cheers,

Daddel.

[Coelacanth]

They've just arrived.

Eddie

Now, that's how to start the week out right!

3:09 AM local time and glued to my PC,

[swanbourne]

But they won't be on the site until weekend.

Eddie

PS. There's a remote possibility you might see it slipped in on the "Friday" thread. :twisted:

[Bernard]

Now you've done it!
Whole week ruined, waiting for friday.......

:lol: :lol:

Do you have pricing info for us? Or will the pricing info come in the weekend as well?

[swanbourne]

I already have the pricing info. I had to find out 4 invoices stretching over a year; tooling costs for bracelet, tooling costs for case, movement cost and now the cost for the watch as delivered. He didn't make it easy.

Eddie

Eddie stated about a dozen times that there won't be a list.
So I expect: First one to order, first one to get...

You can always ask, but you know the probable answer ;)



Where it says Vanguard you can put "Speedbird" ;)
