I wanted a new bracelet for my 2020 PRS-25. Too bad, didn't work out the way I wanted.
I put in my order for the Commando, it looks like the shop was open for a little longer than usual today. Perhaps with none of the standard Everests available there wasn't as much of a rush as usual.Originally Posted by YCymro

Nice choice!
I took a look after reading your post, but there was nothing new for me today. Surprised that the store was open until almost 2.10, and I nearly went for a Blackbird, but at 40mm it was a little large as I’ve progressively got used to smaller watches.
I suppose the Bank Holiday, nice weather, and not having the newer, more popular models for sale all influenced the longer opening duration.
Managed to get the Polar Baby Dreadnought. Record speed for me but seems I wasted my prep, looks like the shop was open for much longer than usual 😊
Really looking forward to receiving it!
Just looked those up and they’re a nice looking watch
Me too.
Not sure what sort of strap I fancy for it though; perhaps something like this for a bit of orange highlight (an orange strap is too much for me!) - https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/en-...oaAuXcEALw_wcB
I'm thinking about getting an orange and white and maybe a pale (sage) green.
Planning on it being the Summer '23 watch!
Nice! I had similar plans for the Commando I just ordered. I love my honeycomb, and I think the commando would be a good complement for it. Thinking of getting a tropic strap to go with it.

I did wonder myself whether the store would be open longer than usual due to the "hot" watches not on sale, I had a similar experience last year when I picked up my Commando (plexi), breezed straight through, no rush.
How many people managed to grab a Commando in yesterday's opening I wonder, personally I think its one of the Everest line least in demand as I imagine the tropical dial, stick hands & rivet bracelet is not for everyone.
I love mine and tend to find I wear it more than my black dial Everest when the mood suits and a plus, the plexi crystal is surprisingly robust and has held up well over the past year.
I have a commando with the tropical dial and really love it, I think you'll be thrilled.
Cheers! I've a few dark dialled sportier watches, this will be my first lighter dialled one, I was unsure for a while but now can't wait to get it in the wrist.Just looked those up and they’re a nice looking watch
I've no understanding of what straps suit anything so please keep posting ideas gents, that rubber with the flash of orange looks great!
I went for the Commando, they no longer have the rivet bracelet. I'm not super keen on the rivet bracelet anyway. I really like the tropical dial and stick hands, it's what makes it different enough to merit getting it when I have the honeycomb! I kind of prefer the ones with more offbeat dials. I really like the Expedition too but I already have two white dialed three-handers. I'll be waiting for the Traveller to be released, unless the price is crazy I'm pretty sure I'm getting it.

Received the Dreadnought this morning! Amazing turnaround Eddie, and many thanks for a gorgeous watch.
I'm glad you're happy with it.

All sized up!
Can never take any decent pictures but fits really well and is a great size for my smaller wrists.

Looks great! It's a very handsome watch, top of my list for a diver if I decide I need one :).

Commando arrived and is on my wrist. Love that dial and the baton hands, really a nice complement to the honeycomb. It's coming with me on vacation next week :)

Thanks! I'll try, officially a working holiday for me. Taking off the travel days, but I'll ve working most of the week, unfortunately. But I'll have my Commando by my side while my wife and kids go out and have fun during my workday :). So mostly a nice change of scenery. Summer we're planning on heading to Italy and Spain for a couple of weeks and I'll be taking actual time off, so that should be fun!

Tried to buy a jubilee bracelet today but it didn’t go well as the dog knocked my glasses off and in the 2 seconds it took to put them back on they’d sold out and the item was removed from my basket. It was my fault for trying again
There were 20 in stock and they sold out in one minute.Tried to buy a jubilee bracelet today but it didn’t go well as the dog knocked my glasses off and in the 2 seconds it took to put them back on they’d sold out and the item was removed from my basket. It was my fault for trying again

I think it was less than a minute! I was definitely on the page at 9:00 my time and by the time I refreshed it said sold out. I should've moved faster! Any more incoming?

Yes, there will be more.

It wasn’t the Jubilee Bracelet I was after but a nice budget friendly GMT. I’d completely forgotten the PRS-22GMTQ even existed until I saw one posted on the Perfect Straps thread on WT yesterday.
Checked out at about 16:25 yesterday so if your after something other than the hottest TF shiny thing there’s no need to sweat.
Thanks again Eddie.
