Reading the blurb on the sales site earlier and noticed for the black, or white dialed Everest it states three batches but the guilt suggests five, so anybody know how many there have been and how many are out there out of interest?

Reading the blurb on the sales site earlier and noticed for the black, or white dialed Everest it states three batches but the guilt suggests five, so anybody know how many there have been and how many are out there out of interest?
With my limited history with the brand as a timepiece owner, I want to say I have read about two 40mm batches and maybe four 36mm batches of the prs25 black in these forums. But Eddie is probably the only person who can give an accurate view. Any specific reason to the query?Quote:

Just general curiosity with the differing figures being mentioned in the sales blurb, which got me thinking how many Eddie has had to have made with this model being so popular.Quote:

There were 4 batches of the 40mm, totalling 1200 over 10 years. There have been 4 batches of the 36mm black dial totalling 1300 over 2 years. 2 batches of the Expedition totalling 500 and one batch each of the gilt dial and Commando, 100 of each.

Amazing - you’ve certainly struck gold with the Everest design Eddie.
Are there any more white dialed ones planned - I missed out yesterday [emoji3525]

Out of interest Eddie, how does the 40mm break down between the mk1 and mk2?Quote:

Hey Eddie, are you estimating that it’ll be next month again before the reopening? And will the gilt be back at some point... as in will you manufacture more?
Thanks Eddie.Quote:

My PRS 25 is 171 bought in 2011 probably my most worn watch over the decade. Its been on so many straps. Its the perfect size for me. Love the plexi dome and dial of the original, but if I owned one... I'd probably love the mk 2 also. Its a stunning little watch that just works on all levels. Mr Platts just got it so right with the Everest:eagerness:

Where did that decade go?! :hypnotysed: I regard my example from 2011 (57, birth year) as my tough legible knockabout watch. I've just set it and got it running to share some wear on my 22mm Havestons along with my Voyager. I thought it might go when I got a 36mm version, but they are quite different watches and both remain. Just about to put it on for a long walkabout with camera in the snow. It's on a Carrier A2 here . . .Quote:

We have been doing this a long time. Eddie is magic.Quote:

Oh yes, I bought my first one 7 years ago. Nice to see the brand getting recognition.Quote:

Same here, and I was afraid of ordering "v1" again to find out that "v2" and "v3" are better and better. Like the 36mm regular Smiths.Quote:
