    So, can someone resume the specs of the new arrival of Everest black dial 36?
    - movement: now without the shadow date?
    - hands: still the “too long minutes” and “too short hour”?
    - bracelet: the new riveted?

    Am I right?

    Good. It will be great to get it for the “original” 36mm. I wonder if there’s a time on Sunday?

    I was hesitant about the riveted bracelet but after wearing it I changed my mind, it looks and wears really good.

    Is the new bracelet going to be available alone this Sunday - perhaps?! Not findable on the shop site (by me anyway).

    This bracelet is very close to the one provided with the Oris 65 , it keeps the vintage touch ;)

    Hi all,

    Just received my 36mm Everest in the post. It is my first purchase from Timefactors and the process was seamless.

    Ordered Sunday (obviously ;)) and it was with me on Tuesday.

    It's a beaut. If anyone has been trawling through the threads and is concerned about the hand size, rotor noise, rivets on the bracelet etc. etc. Ignore them and buy one. It's a lovely piece, and in my eyes has nothing to detract from the overall design.

    The watch is a great homage to the increasingly unobtainable 1016. I was on the fence about buying a homage due to the "haters" but the facts are... Anyone who knows what a 1016 is probably going to be educated in the watch game and will equally also quickly recognise this as a faithful well executed homage by a well known watch maker.

    Anyone else, will have no idea that this looks like a Rolex 1016 and just be impressed by its simple aesthetic.

    Well done Eddie. I'll certainly be back for more in the near future, and my 6.25 inch wrists welcome some more 36/39mm designs.

    Jamie J

    Mines two weeks old and is currently my daily wearer, makes me smile when I look at it. Mine is the creme face and the blued hands are just ....right. Glad you are enjoying your watch

    A timely thread for me, as I’ve been wearing mine all this week and loving every minute of it!

    As a fellow 6.25”er, it’s been a joy to reacquaint myself with a more modest sized watch. Genuinely, it’s just lovely to wear. A bit of a strap monster too. I usually have it in one of Steveo’s pull through canvasses but have dug out a black leather this week and it’s just so subdued. Almost invisible, yet with a special presence that only a few recognise.

    I could go in but this is in danger of turning into some kind of eulogy. Suffice to say that I really do like this watch. The Expedition is pretty darned good too but best not go on.....

    I picked one up about a six weeks ago (yes, second hand, before ordering opened back up...), and have been impressed. Mine is running at +1s/day. While I really enjoy the bracelet, I have been wearing it on leather and it looks great and is super comfortable. Also looks great on a grey nato!

    If I may ask, why you decided to sell it ? Just to know the cons about this watch.

    I’m not 100% why I sold to be honest. In many ways it’s the perfect watch but I just didn’t fall for it as I have done with other watches. There are no obvious cons for me. It wears really well, suits the bracelet, is subtle enough for all occasions. It could be an ‘’”only watch”’’ if you bond with it.

    Haha - maybe that’s what it was! Let’s just say we parted company as friends but it wasn’t meant to be!

    Could somebody tell me what is the smallest wrist size the riveted bracelet with 36 mm case fits, please? Does it work with 6.1" wrist size?
    Thanks.

    I have mine sized for 6.5" and there are still two links that could come out ... plus two holes of micro-adjustment that I could also still use to reduce the size further ... it that helps :)
