As I now have one each of these I thought it may be interesting to post a few comparison shots.
Here they are from left to right, the Timefactors PRS-68, a January 1971 Seiko 6105-8110 and a Dagaz Typhoon T2.
The crown details.
The relative heights, the PRS-68 behind the original.
The Typhoon T2 behind the original.
Buckle details, the Seiko is on a Will Jean waffle, but pretty much similar to an original from a buckle point of view.
Caseback details, the Typhoon still has it's protective sticker on.
I love the original which owes it's design queues to nobody, so I'm not going to repeat what has been said a million times before about the 6105-8110 apart from it's an iconic piece of design. The other two each bring there own particular attributes to the table. The PRS-68 is a beautifully made homage that is faithful to the original whilst using modern build techniques and materials, and is actually one of my watches that gets worn the most. The Typhoon T2 is a homage with a modern twist with it's thick bezel insert an chunky appearance. Whilst it takes it's design queues from the original it has it's own take on what a modern version would be. I've only owned this 24 hours and although I'm a bit of a traditionalist I actually like it a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. How Jake manufactures it for the price he's asking is astounding.
In essence I love 'em all!
