They certainly make some beauties. I've been humming and haa-ing over the Precista B-Uhr LE since they put it up, and the Smiths models look really good as well; particularly the Cushion Case and Everest models.Time-factors (Eddie)own the rights to the smiths name and are an artisan manufacturer of watches. Their suppliers may vary, fricker used to make their cases, top quality.
They specialise in hoovering up interesting NOS movements & re-issueing design classics at a decent price with A grade parts & workmanship.
e.g.
Speedbird is an IWC homage
Smiths Everest is a re-issue
PRS18 & PRS29 are British RN diver & vintage Seiko respectively.
Eddie's designs are well thought through & well executed; decent movements, good bracelets, strap options etc.
For the money hard to beat & you won't see many about either.
Quality wise a notch above tissot, probably similar to oris in finishing, but, higher grade movements.
Very nice. I suppose you'll be collecting razors and suchlike next.I admit I have a problem
They are not cheap watches but the value for money is amazing

I really miss my Speedbird-III,
didn't appreciate how good it was until I traded it.
Kept great time, circa + 2s/day, easy to read in low light, suitable for any occasion, waterproof, rugged. It had a character akin to a Staffordshire bull terrier.
It was this general excellence that I stupidly mistook for blandness,
to my later regret.

Nice! I've been fancying the PRS18 for ages, but none in stock.
My wife bought it for Christmas three years ago IIRC? It's the only one I've bought new.
Excellent lume
