Hi,
Apology for such a short and casual post.
Here is the detail.
Watch was brand new Sapphire Sandwich bought from Goldsmith with 9% discount + free Seamaster adjustable clasp and a single end link.
Dial is the actual Mitsukoshi dial and hands are Silver Snoopy hands but I have specially requested for the original white sub dial hands for better legibility.
The bezel is Pulsating bezel which was originally designed for the measuring pulse rate.
All the above items were sourced from John @ Swisslimitededitions.com.
He is really nice guy to deal with and total cost of parts was about £1300.
I then took the watch to the watchmaker in central London and he did it for £80+vat.
All in all, I am more than thrill with the final outcome.
I know it isn't the cheapest route I took but after several days debating whether or not I should use Hesalite or Sapphire, I decided to go with sapphire.
Having own both the original and Mitsukoshi, I have to say the latter is by far the nicer watch. The dial is so mesmerising and oozes quality whereas Speedmaster Pro is nice good looking toolwatch.
Best
Mark

Picked this up today. Not sure why a large percentage of the forum don't like the ST. But in person, probably the best decision I have made. The Snoopy strap just finishes it off. Well happy.

My father in law bought it at an auction in Bolton and it wasn’t working. He took it straight to this guy ..... 2 months later the repair delivered it and set it up. Father in law very happy ..... think the repair was about £650. He paid a paltry £500 for the clock. Think he took a gamble as at that price they usually for parts only, but has ended up with a bargain

After pillorying these, the inevitable happened lol. 3rd one I've owned and clearly it'll get flipped but I paid RRP so no dramas

The ST got a bit of bad press at the time due to the instant flipping of it and a lot of members had got them due to a generous heads up by a member.
The watch itself looks great imo(especially on snoopy) but does have a little bit of legibility issues with the hands on the background I found.
Well done on picking it up.Was this Scooby's?
I think these are decent value at not too big a premium for a nice LE.
Others will say its a lot for essentially a Speedy.
It also looks great on a bracelet
Lovely photo of a lovely watch!

Jo you will love the prs36 cushion case.I wear mine a lot and it looks great on a wide variety of straps.Value for money is outstanding;the only watches i have seen of this type from British brands are Farer for nearly £1000 and Fears Brunswick which is over £2000 .And a Rolex Cellini would cost ?????
Also not helped by the fact that both the blue and white dials can look terribly flat and lifeless under AD lighting.
What makes this watch especially appealing to me is that the dial is full of depth and interest, the readability is always immaculate and the case is almost entirely brushed - I wanted something practical, that it could wear daily without worrying about, say, polished centre links, without finding the hands disappearing, and yet always delightful to look at.
Remember that when it comes to Time Factors there is no "they", it's all Eddie.
According to this page https://www.timefactors.com/closed1.htm:
So we'll be able to buy again as and when Eddie is ready.Ordering opened at 1400 hrs 6 Oct 19 and closed 45 minutes later when 181 orders had been received. It would normally take 2.5 weeks to ship this many orders but I'm not sure how long it will take working at a reduced level. Ordering will re-open when all orders have been shipped.
This was my latest purchase, arrived in 10 days from Russia. £27 delivered hand winder mechanical.
Many thanks to Eddie for sending out the PRS-82 that I ordered at the weekend. Hope you feel better soon!
I've put it on a Bond NATO, which I think looks ace!
