    Look forward to seeing it when it arrives.

    I seem to recall the blue one looking even better in real world pictures.

    Been umming and rrring over the black dialled one since this was first posted - love the look of the fume dial (been disappointed since i missed the blue one) Had another look at them yesterday and saw only 25 serial numbers still available (the day before release), so placed an order. Just looked today - now out of stock.
    Happy days! Now for the wait.

    My Evant Green Bronze has arrived, a few quick pics.
    It looks a little strange at the moment with the bright bronze bezel, to me it will look better when it has some Patna to contrast with the bezel markings.
    Very happy with the green dial and the lack of minute markers, reminds me of the original Panerai model which now sells for silly money and started my interest in bronze watches.
    Some pics with my Fume Blue Tropic and with my other bronze watches the Precista PRS-30 which has around 4 years of patna and the Oris Carl Brashear which has around 12 months.
    I have been very pleased with the Fume Blue and am happy to have another Evant in my collection, these are great watches at this price point.

    Received mine on Thursday. Very happy with the package and watch itself. Will be interesting to see how the patina develops on the sand blasted case.

    I see the “final edition” is about to be released, with an amber dial. Really like the look of this, and had I not already brought the black dialled version I’d be seriously considering it.

    p.s Am I the only one that finds Gnomons website extremely slow to load?

    Sadly not slow enough to stop me ordering one!

    Haha! I look forward to seeing some pictures. I'm really liking mine, packs a lot of punch for the cash.

    It’s due to land Tuesday...if I can figure out the tech I’ll post some pics.
    I’m looking forward to seeing quite how ‘amber’ the dial is.

    As this is now the final edition of the Tropic, it will be interesting to see where Evant go next.

    Couple of "arty" shots taken on a cold, crisp SW London morning.

    And it’s landed in sunny North London...a day early. Ordered Thursday...on my wrist Monday!
    First impressions are good.
    The dial is pretty much as per Gnomon’s site...the case is a little more ‘pink’ than I was expecting, but I know that will darken down with wear. The strap is a little unforgiving, but again I’m sure that will wear in.
    I’ll try to get some photos up later.

    Has the bronze got any patina to it yet?

    2 weeks in and there’s some slight signs of it starting to darken...in fairness I’ve only worn it a few times though.
