In the ex Communist Block does anyone know what sort of reputation Prim had?

I have read and heard that the new version looks exactly like the original,but I don't know how it can be if on the original the printing on the watch face was white and the new one is green.It seems to me that the white more dangerous radioactive printing is much nicer to look at than the green.What do you think? Micky

Does anyone have a photo they can post,please?

Has anyone seen the present version 'in the flesh?' Micky

If I understand correctly.Yes.the photograph from the elton website as you supposed.

Dear Prim people out there, has anyone seen the new Orlik replica other than in photos? What is your impression,please? Why is the face not the same as the original? How much should the bigger version cost? Thank you in advance. Enjoy the rest of the summer. Micky

Were the 500 or so watches made for general sale numbered , or not ? I do not think that they are. I think to say watches on e bay are not original is going a bit far, but I would be a bit suspicious ! Micky

No,it isn't! If I am not mistaken 2,500 were made for the Air force. All were numbered on the back. It could be an automatic made up with an air force face later , or one of the around 500 extra watches that were for general sale at the time. If it is not numbered there is no real way to know if it is original or not, I think I am sure there are people who are more qualified than me to tell you for sure. Best wishes Micky

Thank you for your reply. I understand that both versions , with the silver and gold faces are correct.it is only that the chrome is rarer and ,in my opinion more beautiful. I have both which you can see on this Prim forum. Best wishes Micky

Dear Prim experts, I have just seen a chrome diplomat on e bay described as a PRIM DIPLOMAT PRESIDENTIAL watch. Can anyone tell me if this name is correct or not, please? Best wishes Micky

Dear Prim fans, this year I have been lucky enough to get this beautiful , rare vintage chrome Diplomat for Christmas. I think that it is 'a once in a lifetime find ' like ' the Prim version of The Holy Grail 'and I feel honoured to now own it . I am afraid that my photographic skills do not do justice to the watch , but I have tried !!! A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY , HEALTHY 2010 TO ALL Best wishes Micky

Thanks, I am glad you like it , but it will never be worn as it is so rare and in such good condition

Dear watch fans, I hope that you are having a good Christmas. This year I have been lucky enough to get the most beautiful , rare vintage Prim I have ever , and probably will ever see ! I am afraid that my photographic skills do not do justice to the watch, but I have tried. What did you get? Best wishes for a merry Christmas and a very happy,healthy New Year!!! Micky

Dear Prim experts, I think I remember reading somewhere that Diplomats had plaque of either gold or silver.Is that true or is the silver coloured model chrome? Best wishes Micky

Dear Skalis, thank you for your reply.As you asked , I enclose some more pictures of the chrome Prim Diplomat. Kind regards Micky

Dear Prim experts, I would like to ask if the chrome Diplomat with silver hands , but gold on the face that I have was made by Prim like that , or if it was made up later . Shouldn't the marking on the six and twelve be silver too? I think it is really beautiful and in very good condition , but I have a doubt in my mind about its' origins. Could you help,please? Enjoy the sunny Autumn days. Micky

Hello there, it was a present,so I really don't know , sorry If your girlfriend does want to sell hers,I would be interested in having another just as good as I have. Micky

Dear Prim experts, I noticed that on Aukro , a Sport 1 1st Gen which was not renovated , but in good condition was sold for 8000 Crowns.What do you think about this? Is it correct, a trend , stupidity, or a trend in stupidity? Enjoy the summer sun. Best wishes Micky

I do not know what the original owner did to be presented with this ,but I hope it was nothing too bad! For me it was an intersting find. Sorry i do not speak Czech Micky

Thanks for helping to improve my pathetic Czech language skills! Micky

Thanks a lot. Micky

Dear all, when i have looked at the PRODAM section , I have noticed that people use the term, sz.What does it mean,please? Micky

Thanks for your reply. Live long and prosper! If you know this was a Vulcan or Spock greeting Micky

Thanks as always Micky

Dear Prim specialists and fans, I have heard that Elton does not supply spare parts for the repair and renovation of vintage Prim and that they prefer to do the work themselves, is that correct? Does anyone have a complete price list for this type of work in Czech and in Czech Crowns, and then as an exercise to help my pathetic Czech language skills I will translate it! Diky moc in advance !
