[seanw]

This is a Timefactors Speedbird PRS-1.

From the Timefactors web site:

Case

The stainless steel case has a fine brush finish, with spun finish screw back and a screw down crown. The dial is matte black with white painted minute chapter and Arabic numbers. Tritium luminous is applied at the cardinal points of the dial and in the centre of the black minute and hour hands: the centre sweep seconds hand is white. Bombé sapphire crystal and the watch is water resistant to 10 bar/100 metres/330 feet.

Dimensions

The case is 37.5 mm Ø, 48.5 mm lug tip to lug tip and 11.6 mm thick. The dial is 32.5 mm Ø and lug spacing is 18 mm.

Movement

ETA 25 jewel automatic, calibre 2836-2 running at 28,800 bph with hacking seconds.

I bought this from a Timefactors forum member a few months ago, after a long search. It's one of only 300 made. There are some marks on the bezel which I've tried to capture on the photos, but which aren't really noticeable when wearing.

I recently sent this off for a service at Archer Watches. Al did a great job, replacing the mainspring etc., and regulating it. Since then it's been running at around +3 s/day.

The watch comes with the original NATO strap in British Overseas Airways Corporation colours, although it's old and stiff now, and also the original wooden presentation box.

I'd like $550, plus whatever postage method the buyer prefers. I'm also happy to meet face to face in downtown Toronto or Oakville.

While I haven't a track record here, I do have feedback on the Timefactors forum web site and I've provided links at the bottom of this post.

If you have any questions please PM me and I'll try and answer.

Here are the pictures.
