For sale is a real nice LNIB Precista PRS-5 chronograph from Eddie Platts at Timefactors. I just got the watch today from the first owner who purchased it in December 2008 and did not wear it. I did not wear it either, just opened the box today, put it on the wrist and knew right away I would not keep it as it wears too small for me (got used to those big divers:( ), so I'd rather put it for sale right away. It is a shame as it is a beautiful chrono and I love its overall deisgn/looks... just wish it was a bit bigger. Well, my loss is your gain...

It has the beautiful Sea-Gull ST-19 column wheel hand-wind chronograph movement that you can admire through the optional clear caseback included. The watch comes on the aviator leather strap with the solid and display case backs, the 2-watch travel case, tool, cleaning cloth, and papers as seen on the pic below.

$300 Paypal takes it home! Includes Paypal Fees and Priority Shipping with Delivery Confirmation within CONUS, others will pay extra shipping. NO TRADE at this point please.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks, Brice!

From the Timefactors website:

“The ST-19 is a 19 jewel column-wheel chronograph, allegedly identical to the Venus 175 movement and made on the same machinery, which the Chinese acquired when the Venus 175 went out of production. Others claim that the Seagull was simply reverse-engineered from the Venus and the argument continues over which story is correct: either way, the fact remains that the design retains all durability of the original Venus.”
