Yup got to work 7:30am eastern US time and too late. Oh well. Its a Jan xmas present for me then.
Seems like the first batch of 50 were sold out in less than 30 min....Well i had no chance then being on East Coast US. I would have had to stay up at 2:30am my time to get one (on a work night). ha
Just checking out my old Rhino... on the 40mm.

Just want to say I'm really excited about this puppy. Like a kid at Christmas :))
I was online early this morning and was so caught up in the excitement that I almost bought one by accident
Is that a bit like.....

So excited! I've been following the old discussion thread and finally got into my first time factors watch with the 36mm.
Can't wait for it to arrive.

Cleaned, treated with RM Williams leather conditioner, ready to go on, until I decide whether to keep it or my original . . .

Thanks Eddie for making these wonderful, affordable watches.
I might be being a bit dim here , but what does a PRS-45 look like , I'm starting to get a
bad feeling in my bank account having got the 40mm Everest and wanting the white
face 36mm Everest , when released, having managed not to succumb to the black 36mm!
Congratulations to Eddie on recent releases , they just seem to be coming thick and fast
and are stunning to boot!
cheers
Mick

Just got my dispatch notice, so Eddie must have cleared the international orders and started on the UK ones. He must be working so hard. He should really get some elves in to help at times like this. Can't be easy being a one man band.
No, Eddie's pics are accurate. I'm just a crappy photographer with a crappy iphone.
I'm really enjoying the watch. Incredible quality for the money. I've got some leather straps coming from Italy, should get them tomorrow hopefully. Once I have them I'll post some pics of the watch on leather.
In the meantime:

UPS sent a message with a delivery notice for tomorrow. Happy days and quite impressive to get the watch so fast to Sweden.

A bit disappointing to see Eddie posting here when he should be hard at it.
Just received UPS notice stating that arriving tomorrow Fri 21 DEC in Sydney ! Impressive - Many thanks Eddie.

Yeah I should also have a package in Canada tomorrow (the 20th...) and it’s impressive how fast they shift it. But for (iirc) £35 shipping, they better!
Now to see what kind of duty & taxes we get hammered with. At least some Erika’s straps arrived today under the radar. [emoji28]

Got it! Thanks Eddie and all the members for their contributions.
Now my PRS-22 will be in good company!

Just got the mail from Eddie to say mine has been dispatched, can't wait! Levels of excitement for this watch are skyrocketing!
The wrist shots above look great, any chance of some with the clasp? Hopefully I'll have mine in time to post on the Friday thread tomorrow. Thanks again to Eddie for fantastic speed of service, my first purchase with you but won't be the last!

Yey it arrived and it is goood! Very happy with it and very quick delivery. Only thing that I don’t like is the clasp, really hope that the vintage style bracelet will be available as a standalone purchase... to a reasonable price... with simple slim stamped clasp... with more tapering... ;)

Mine has arrived. Just managed a quick snap before the wife whipped it away until next Tuesday...

Very nice!
Some more photos.
For reference, my wrist is about 7" in circumference. I took out 3 links and the extendable clasp is unextended.
As I expected (as I have a Citizen 'Excalibur' dive watch with a similar fitting) the clasp is thicker than you want really, especially on a smaller watch like this, and I think a lot of people would probably have preferred a standard clasp with a taper to 16 mm on the bracelet. Then again these extendable clasps are a real boon on hot days. A lot of people will prefer to wear it on a leather strap anyway.

Thanks for the pics and compliment, it is a beautiful watch !
I believe I'll jump on it on early 2019 (when new funds will be available ...) and I fully agree with you, this 36mm Everest deserves a bracelet tapering from 20 to 16mm with simple "old style" clasp, like the one on the Baltic watch here below just as an example.

Mine just arrived. First impression: the Smiths 36mm Everest utterly destroys any reason one could advance for spending £2k on a Black Bay 36.
Incredibly pretty, beautifully made, lovely weight to it. It’s astonishing what Eddie has achieved for the price.
Not massively keen on the clasp, but I didn’t expect to be. It’s too bulky for a 36mm watch, I feel. I’ll be picking up one of the later rivet bracelets for it if they become available separately. For now I’ve got it on an Erika’s MN strap, and I’ll be enjoying trying it on different strap options over Christmas and new year.
Congrats Eddie, it’s a real winner.
^^^^ Great pics. Mine’s going on leather or NATO. Can’t wait!
