Incoming: SMITHS Military PRS-29B

[pacifichrono]

I just sprang for this exquisite Smiths Military in the larger 39mm size and double-domed sapphire crystal. It's a finely-crafted low volume timepiece closely patterned after the original Smiths Militarys of the 1960s. As you can see, the case is intricately machined, brushed, and engraved - - no lasering here! The movement is a 17 jewel ETA 2801 running at 28800 bpm. It's already been "despatched" from England!

I could hear Don Pardo's sonorous voice reading that.

Congrats on the pickup. Nice watch.

Looks great!

[4pfrench]

Cool Tom. I am liking some of Eddies stuff right now.

[Dedalus]

I really like that one Tom.

[River Rat]

Congrats Tom.

[AtomicTom]

You've got to be very excited Tom. Yowza !

Congratulations ahead of time. This is going to be really nice !

Cool piece Tom. I like its simplicity and style.

But I gotta ask about the copyright on a few of those pics. The last couple where its shown in its case. Is that dude's name really "murgatroyd", as in "heavens to murgatroyd"?

Somebody playing with that?

That's the dude's name! In fact, just this week I came across a photo of a girl (actress? model?) who had the same last name.

That looks great on the DWC standard grey NATO.

I just ordered a camo NATO from Sweden. Maybe they'll arrive around the same time.

Bizarro. They have a connection to a piece of literary history and television history. Peta has her own body of work going on along with all that.

Still a cool watch. Congrats.

THats nice tom.
Ive been searching Ebay, almost bidding on some vintage WWII and Vietnam watches just like this. Especially the bulova a17 but i cant get over the 34mm.
Ill be searching for one of these....

[poppydog]

I've been considering one of these myself Tom; congratulations, and looking forward to your photos when it arrives

[Slipkid]

You'll definitely have to do a write-up on that one once you get it (er, receive it). Looking sweet!

Congrats

[bpax]

Congrats, Tom. I picked up one of those awhile back and really like it. Can't wait for your pics.

Just nothing wrong with that. The size and classic lines means you could go suit to weekend with it. Really cool.
