Speedbird111 PRS -22 - thoughts?

[Pesky]

Thinking about getting one of these as my "daily" http://www.timefactors.com/speedbird.htm

How does the collective rate them, please?

Many thanks in advance.


(PS I already have a Sinn 103StSa & a Submariner 5513, both bought new)

I've the GMT version, and the only watch that I'd replace it with would be the non-GMT model. Great build, comfortable bracelet with screwed links, +/- 2sec timekeeping - for the money, a superb watch IMO.

Thanks Stu - just what I wanted to hear

I really like the look of it, but its just too close to an IWC for me to be prepared to buy/wear.

Unfortunately, an IWC is way out of my price range.

I've now ordered the Ivory faced model - superb customer service from Eddie, & the watch should arrive with me tomorrow. I really liked the look of Damasko too, but managed to keep my "sensible head" on

And?

Post a pic if you can, only ever seen snaps of the black faced model in wrist shots.

An homage too far.

There's no doubt that it's an homage, much like many other that Eddie sells, but it's still a fine watch in it's own right much like pretty much all the PRS range. They may not be the genuine articles, but they still make a fine case for themselves

I kind of agree. I had a PRS 14 for a while, but having also had a real SM300 it didn't hit the spot & was quickly sold.

They are good watches at that price point though.

Very pleased - great quality at an extremely reasonable price

Here's a pic with another of my homages

Good work and if only the Bugatti were real!
