Hi all
Has anyone got both versions so we can see difference between the handsets?
I quite fancy the white version but would like to see difference as I thought the
original minute hand was too long.
Cheers

The hands on the white version are unchanged, if that is your question.
If have a new-hand black version, and know the old hands only from images.
These are the changes I've noticed so far:
- The minute hand is ~1mm shorter
- The hour hand is ~1mm longer
- The pip on the second hand is ~2mm closer to the center
Thanks , I thought white version were changing too , would like to see pictures of both versions of black dial.Quote:

I threw something together real quick.

It's not really ideal for a comparison, but meh, better than nothing.
Thanks for that , can see difference and like new ones better, just have to resist temptation for this and Eddie’s upcoming models! I’m trying to save for a Explorer II !Quote:

White Everest seems to be highly underrated an overlooked by the community but it's an absolutely cracking watch.
I must say, I can't really notice much of a difference and would have been pleased with either - but hey-ho
Interesting! I do like the new handset, but I'm also fine with the older one. I bought a white Everest when they first arrived and I'm wearing it now very happily indeed.Quote:

I could have chosen better images for a comparison. Based on these two, I would agree with you.Quote:

I wonder if the new minute hand is not only a bit shorter, but also a smidgen wider than the old one.
It's about the same. But the hour hand got slimmed down.Quote:
