It looks great on so many different straps and bracelets.
Highlighting just how versatile a watch it is!

Looks perfect on the eulit. I’ll have to try them out. I have a watch obsession Perlon which was cheap, it’s alright for the money but nothing special. I’d imagine Eulit would be much betterQuote:

Any photos of the 40mm version on different straps?
Not a 40mm but another shot of mine with lume on display.

How is everyone else finding the performance of theirs? Mine was running a little slow, but since the weekend it is absolutely bang on!

Lume shot was just with my phone after stepping in from the sunshine!!

But one thing I was stunned by the most - that bracelet. It had to go off.
I love tapering and this one could go well with 22 to 18 or even 16, but this was way way off for my taste.
Superbly engineered, just too bulky.
I hope Eddie will offer 22mm riveted tapered bracelet with small clasp. I would get that in a second.
Thankfully it's a strap monster so here we go:

What brand is the brown leather? Looks great

If we're sharing watch band shots - earlier this year there were some pictures posted of me working in the lab with my gen2 PRS-25 on [ here ]. I've had a great experience with custom straps from finwatchstraps.com. The one in the pic is Badalassi Carlo "Tundra" leather, which has a bit of green/grey in the brown - it's wearing very well, and has worn in perfectly for my tastes. I had the watch on a green/grey nato over the summer and just switched back to this strap for the fall.

Someone asked for pictures of the 40mm Everest on other straps. The bracelet came off mine as soon as I unpacked it on Dec 8th 2011 and remains untouched and stickered in the box. I had a Titan CS from TSS waiting for it and it stayed on this seeminlgly indestructible strap for years, with occasional spells on Natos, until my current liking for canvas. In fact one of my pics on a Nato made it into Ewan's excellent review of the watch on his Watcharama site! Re the logo, the logo on both of mine (36 & 40mm) is the non-tittyduck version which is more in keeping with the black dialled miltary issue Smiths from the early 60's IMHO, Eddie's latest version of the logo is perfect for the white dailled watches he's doing.

That looks to me like a lot more interesting proposition than the first version on the jubelee bracelet.

The gilt dial does look great, if the EVEREST text was in the same gilt colour I think it would look absolutely stunning in my opinion.Quote:

I like the bracelet but switched to a strap for a different look.
Very comfy [emoji108][emoji91]

@swaydino @alpharulez both combinations looks awesome!
First ever post on this forum.
I picked up the White PRS25, and it is fabulous. I wanted a white dial field watch to go with my White Hamilton Field watch, the Stowa Flieger and Laco B-Uhr. Now I have a watch for every week of the month.
I know the black version is more popular, but I recommend the white version. While the black 1016 is hard to get these days, the white one even more so, as this HODINKEE article suggests.
Thank you. Have opted for this watch as my daily driver and the strap helps.Quote:

Looks great on that rubber strap! CongratsQuote:

I'm new to this forum as well as to TF watches. After seeing some great reviews of the black 36mm Everest Explorer on YT I snagged my first PRS25.
I am super excited. After ordering in september I right away had a Horween leather strap made for this beauty. Even though the watch was delivered about 3 weeks ago I still haven't had a chance to unpack it and slap it on the wrist, since I have been abroad. So until I get home I continue to get my daily fix in this thread.
Great pics gentlemen. As far as I'm concerned keep on posting :cheerful::thumbsup:
Cheers!
Congratulations on ordering one - you won’t be disappointed when you open that box...!Quote:

As strange as it sounds I guess congratulations are indeed not entirely out of place. Little did I know how difficult it is to get one. First try first hit. Somehow it almost feels a bit like all those long time Smiths fans who already tried several times deserve it more than I do. On the other hand...Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
