That's just not good enough :lol: enjoy

Enjoy :)

Nice!
Can you do a photo of the case back please?
Ed
Here's the wrist shots of the 1st PRS-50B arrived in Spain (not mine though :( for more click the photo).
Alright. Here is a case back shot...

Wow, very nice!!! Can't wait to put mine on the wrist. Don't even know if it has been delivered already :?
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Very nice, congratulations and thanks for the pics.
Well, after rushing to get the obligatory photos up, I am now going to have a good look, for the first time, at what I have on my wrist :lol: :lol:

How did it get to Europe so fast?!
Where are all the UK owners shots?
Looks interesting though... not sure about it yet now seeing some real-world pictures!
I have to say that I never thought it would be here so quickly (cheers to Eddie and UPS)!

My mail man has been and gone - got home to two parcels - both Pest Repellers off the Bay, bah! :cry:
Looking good! (I'm definitely going to have to talk to Eddie about trying to get one of those acrylic crystals fitted to me original LE.)

Actually, the acrylic crystal is the bit I am having trouble with. OK, its unfamiliar to me, but I keep thinking it would look better after it gets a bit of 'wabi'. Just a first reaction... :)
Any takers on the grey NATO?
By the way, Eddies retro PU/rubber strap is a sensation, but I am just in the habit of putting everything on a NATO.

What colour are those minute markers on the dial? They look gold?!
It may be an optical illusion, but the 45 & 60 minute markers on the bezel don't seem to line-up with the 9 & 12 on the dial??? Anybody else noticed this? :?:
Cheers
David
The minute markers are not gold, but closer to a light/pale orange.
they look perfect in Paulos Pic from Portugal...try saying that quickly 3 times... :D
Yup. That's it!Any takers on the grey NATO?

I think there are a number of things going on here. First, the thickness of the crystal and the fact that it is domed does play a lot of tricks on the dial, particularly when looking from different angles. The bezel moves really beautifully (crisp clean clicks) and as far as I can tell it lines up almost perfectly on the cardinals as you rotate it. There is a tiny bit of play between the position of each click which means it is possible to leave the bezel a tiny bit out of alignment, but if it is positioned correctly it stays that way. I think in one of the photos I took (above) that I left the bezel a tiny bit out of alignment. Finally, there is simply a bit of optical illusion in some of the shots I took. :)

it's a fabulous looking watch and pips it over the PRS-3, for me (a watch I had been waiting for). Especially as it has good, modern lume. The only bugbear is the acrylic - I'm a heretic, and I prefer the sapphire of the earlier "50". But then I like the dial of the new one. But then, the old one's bezel is fantastic. But then that's acrylic too...
The TF site says the sapphire crystal can be fitted to the 50B (and the acrylic fitted to the 50). Anyone know how much a sapphire crystal costs...?
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
looks like refraction to me
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
What is your overall impression?
Looks good, thanks for thatOK... very quick and dirty (and by that I mean I didn't even stop to clean the lint off the watch crystal :roll: )... but here they are...

Is this a non-LE batch then, as I guess a second batch will have the same movements?
As most of these seem to have gone to our friends in Europe can I ask if anyone in the UK has received a shipping notification from Eddie?
Placed my order on Saturday received order conformation from Eddie and separate notification from Sagepay. Since then nothing.
I fully appreciate that Eddie must be very busy, but should I start worrying!?!?
Have I gone missing in the system?
AAAAAAAH!!
I would think you should start worrying very much..... :twisted:
You will appreciate it much more if it ever arrives.....
Else just be a bit patient, good things happen to... :lol: I am sure Eddie is still busy, packing up 50 of them does not happen at once.
I just hope mine arrives soon.
I've already had it with the British postal system. My sponsorship form for Ascot was sent to me 1st class earlier this month postmarked 1st June and it finally arrived on my doorstep on the 12th!! :shock:
The closing date for applications was the 8th BTW :evil:
angry of tunbridge wells perchance??
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

Good advice.
Now what do I do about the nervous twitch? :D
yes, today. the watches will be shipped following the buying order. about 15 per day. you'll have it for friday, relax.
i thought the limited version with the as movement was limited to 50 watches but apparently i was wrong.
You're thinking of the first PRS-50.
This is very lovely indeed. Eddie, any chance you could get them to drill a hole in the dial somewhere between the 4 and the 5 on the next batch (I think I know the answer to this one)?

If you need a date, buy a newspaper.
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I can't afford to buy a newpaper every day and the ink gets everywhere. Not convinced it would have ruined the aesthetics of this one but it is beautiful.If you need a date, buy a newspaper.

Wow - there will be 200 pieces like that one -cool.

Alright. Here is a case back shot...

There's one up for sale in the SC now (maybe gone in the last few minutes though!)

Just popped mine on. Looks good, although not quite what I was expecting - there's a lot of space under the crystal. I know it's a hommage rather than a clone, but on most of the FFs I've ssen, the rehaut looks shallower. Much as I love acrylic crystals, I do wonder how it would look with a sapphire - I don't suppose anyone would be able to do some side by side shots of a 50 and a 50B when they have a moment, maybe?
Well seeing those has just made me more eager......posties been and gone and no watch :(
Impatience is not a virtue apparently.........
-->>>Lumeshot:
Thanks, everybody. Saw the pic on the website already. But the luminova looks there a liitle bit spotted or uneven applied.
Prototype or bad pic ?? So I wanted a pic of serial model.
Overall great watch. Congrats Eddie!!!!
This would be the matching partner for my trusted PRS-50 (A)

Mathias
