SMITHS W.W.W. - PRS-59​

Regular price £485.00

485 Pound sterling equals
$619.55 United States Dollar
Jun 5, 2:34 PM UTC · Disclaimer

Strictly one per customer.

Available from Sunday 9th June 2024.

No prizes for guessing the inspiration for this one. Once quite affordable prices have now gone through the roof, a Grana is currently on offer for over £22,000!

Known collectively as “The Dirty Dozen”, these were issued to British forces between 1944 and 1945, manufactured by Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex. It is estimated that these manufacturers delivered a total of 150,000 watches to The War Office (now the Ministry of Defence).

Although designated a “General Service” timepiece, this did not mean that each serviceman was issued with one, the watches were held in unit stores and only issued on an “as needed” basis for a particular task and returned to the stores when that task was completed.


This reintroduction is a completely new watch, built from scratch and incorporating improvements over the original. It is available only in 36mm diameter, now having a hi-dome sapphire crystal and drilled lugs with shoulderless springbars to allow a greater choice of straps to be fitted. Both versions have a soft iron dial and anti-magnetic cage, giving an anti-magnetic rating of 20,000 A/m (251 Oe).

Supplied in a 2- watch travelling case with 24 months guarantee.

All watches are guaranteed against defective workmanship for 24 months from
date of purchase and the guarantee for the first 12 months applies to the
original purchaser only.

• 316L stainless steel, brushed finish
• Diameter 36mm
• Lug to lug height 44.5mm

• Anti-magnetic 20000 A/m
• WR 10ATM/100 metres/330 feet
• 64.5 grammes including strap

A Message from Eddie​

by David Platts June 20, 2023

In January after an examination my Dr told me "I might as well check your prostate whilst you're here" and said that it felt "spongy". She ordered up a set of blood tests and a week later, another doctor from the practice phoned and said "All your blood tests are normal except your PSA level is 130".

He might as well have been speaking ancient Greek, I had no idea what that meant. Apparently a normal reading is about 4 and a reading of 130 needs further investigation. I was referred to the urology department of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital for investigation.

I was given an appointment within 10 days and had an initial consultation followed bu a bone scan, MRI scan and another CT scan. I attended a follow-up appointment with the consultant, expecting a biopsy to be performed but he said there was no point as it would only confirm what they already knew, I have advanced and incurable stage 3 prostate cancer.

As you can probably imagine, this was a lot to take in as I had none of the usual symptoms of prostate cancer (and still don't). I have just this morning a further CT scan to determine how far outside the prostate gland the cancer has spread and from here they will custom design a course of radiotherapy (one session a week for 6 weeks).

So this is where I am now, they won't be able to give me a prognosis until after the radiotherapy.

All the hospital appointments and treatments may cause disruption to operating Time Factors but Dave and myself will do out best to minimise this.
