    25-B?

    I was curious to see how this dial and hand configuration would look:

    I prefer the logo without the t@ts out for the lads!

    Not sure about that. I love the triangle at 12 and the lack of date window. Only downside of PRS-25 is the size, if it was max 38mm it would be almost perfect watch. If I deliberately wanted to find another "flaw" besides that, I guess the Smiths text could be slightly smaller font, but that would be just nitpicking.

    Fair play, I think it looks just as good as Eddies version - I actually prefer the 12 to the triangle. Although I do like to have a date on my watch, I think a no date version is more faithful to the original Smiths Everest.

    I give it a thumbs up...

    if the '25 is an Explorer homage, then this is a Tudor Ranger homage.
    I had a Ranger for a while - nice little watch (and significantly cheaper than a vintage Explorer I).

    I love my 25 but would love it even more if it had a date - leave everything else the same though.

    Not bad. I could live without the funny logo, but the rest is very nice. If this were to materialize in a moderate size (no bigger than 38mm), I'd be seriously tempted.

    Like it - love the hour hand. Keep it to 38m.

    You know what, I've been wearing mine all day and having seen the mock-up with the date I do actually prefer it without.

    I've thought a few times about putting gilt hands on mine. Anyone know what ones would fit?

    I quite Ranger look with these hands but I think it would look better without the date.

    I got mine because I like the simplicity and plainness of the face. I think a date would make to too busy.

    I'm also fond of just the single word 'Smiths' right in the middle. In use I can barely even see the Everest unless in the right light.
