A great update to the Everest.
When I had one I found I didn't wear it that much and I moved it on, but I suspect neither would have been true if the gilt one was available - For me, it just lifts it that little.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Anyone else think the gilt would look even better with vanilla / nicotine vintage lume?
I.e. faux aged tritium.
Oh, and one of these:

Oh hell yeah....now wer'e cooking.
Why didn't we suggest that before.
thats a great addition :)
I definitely agree, the gilt dial & handset does look amazing and with old radium lume it would look perfect. I love the way the EVEREST text is visible in the same colour as the Smiths logo giving symmetry to the dial face, if only it was the same on the black dial model, that then would also be perfect.
It’'s glorious!

I suppose a lot of people don'’t buy a vintage watch for the lume - in many cases it doesn’'t even emit light anymore.

Vintage lume on a vintage watch perfic guvnor, feux vintage lume on a new watch ? Not for me, just gimme lume

Yes, I would prefer the vintage lume too.
I read there are trade-offs, but if you want the absolute brightest then you buy the white-dial version.
My PRS-82 has quite good vintage lume, so I think vintage should be "good enough" ...
PS.
I have that Forstner bracelet,
make sure you buy the solid link version if you want to be able to re-size it (it does come with one stretch link).
The version that is 100% stretch links is unable to be resized afaik, so for the small wristed (<=6") it could be too large, or wear more loosely.
In horology does gilt still imply gold. Are the hands plated, is the printing gold in a resin.
Love the gilt.
Ohhhh yes please! This version is EXACTLY what I wanted.
Now just to put my mind to paying 25% more due to frigging brexit and import duties :(
+1 for aged lume, current one is a little too green imo

The lume is perfect as it is. Aged lume would ruin it.
Is this a gilt relief dial? Looking at the pictures and makes me think it could possibly be?

Order 1540 with email conf at 9:03 EST for the gilt.
We few, we happy few...
Once again, it appears I missed the window. And once again, I'm willing to pay a significant premium (don't be shy) to whoever changes their mind. Remaining hopeful that someone will come through.
Order confirmed, my first bite at the Smiths apple, the gilt is what done it your honour. Can't wait for it to arrive!
Someone explain why we can’’t do things differently?
1. Shipping/ordering
Why do watches need to go to Eddie to personally manhandle them? Can’t we use a drop-shipping or logistics company approach? Does every watch require personal scrutiny? Do we not trust the manufacturer at this point, esp. after production samples are made?
2. Numbers
Why can’t we sign up on a pre-order basis to ensure a fairly accurate number of watches are available? The order would be: pre-orders + watches for stock
As fun as sitting mashing my keyboard is, this feels a little backwards and frankly Halios-like during the hype days. I’ve been buying TF since 2013 and this is a little off-putting.
Yes 1st world problems...
Ps. The other “solution” to the problem is to ramp up prices until supply equals demand but nobody wants that!
Because all my watches have serial numbers which are recorded on the guarantee. I spoke with an order fulfillment company and they didn't seem to understand what was required. They're happy enough to stuff a thousand t-shirts into jiffy bags but not happy to give the individual packaging requirements of a serial numbered watch.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Guilt Everest has landed..
But must go shopping before shopping before I open it!
looking forward to seeing some wrist shots.
I couldn't choose between this and the commando so didn't try and order either.
The answer would have been order both but, well thats silly.
Definitely a tease, I hope I don't love the look of it in person as I played it safe and when with the white dial
