Here are the Smiths I own: PRS-25 Everest, Everest Expedition, PRS-29A (W10 remake), PRS-29AM, Commander, Traveller (blue bezel). Have a think how you would rank them before seeing my rankings. ...
Thanks so much for your advice. It's from a Hamilton chrono with silicon hairspring, the H-51-si. I wouldn't be doing it, I would be asking a watchmaker to do it, but I want to check if it's even...
I want to grab the balance assembly off an ETA 7753 with a silicon hairspring and transfer it into a Sellita SW510M, and transfer whatever parts between the two to make it work. Can this be done?
...
I am grateful to Eddie through the Smiths line for helping me to "complete" my overall collection.
My Smiths:
PRS-29A - The W10
PRS-29AM - the Air Ministry
PRS-25 Everest
PRS-25EXP Everest...
I got mine (white) and let me give my initial thoughts:
1. Blue bezel is just gorgeous against creamy white dial. It's a very beautiful combination and IMO the perfect vacation watch to a...
Which is your favourite combination?
I second this request. People thought the Tudor GMT was thick. I think part of the charm of having a small diameter watch is also the thinness. If a watch is too thick, it's better to be balanced...
I have 5 Smiths, and the PRS-29A is my favourite. It's perfect. I wish all of the other Smiths watches like the Commander, Everest etc. are based on the PRS-29A, instead of the current...
May you have a speedy recovery Eddie!!
That doesn't sound enough to meet demand. I believe some of the Everests were built to this number and are all sold out now - I think these will be more popular. If these get sold out, would you...
What's the thickness of the watch? Thanks.
Also: Eddie, these will probably be very very popular. Will you have decent amounts of these or only a small amount produced? Thanks!
touche - I didn't remember this one, because I mainly ignored the Carribbean coz I was more interested in the heritage styles, and only now am I interested in investigating colours. This is quite...
I have a lot of watches. A lot. Over 40 of them have black dials. People prefer monochromatic watches for 2 primary reasons:
1. they are visually versatile and go with any clothing
2. they...
Wow.. that picture really makes that watch look very handsome.
I think the PRS-47 is much better looking than the black Everest, but that "Commando" text is a bit much. I associate that look with "Everest" or "Antarctica", not "Commando". Or how about...
sorry, what I meant was that people associate them with Rolex, not that they are literally called "Rolex hands". I know they are referred to as "mercedes hands". If you want evidence that everyone...
They are Rolex hands: https://theslenderwrist.com/types-of-watch-hands/
Occasionally, other brands may use them like Citizen, but everyone knows them as "Rolex hands". Any time a microbrand uses...
The first Miyota 9075 based movements are coming out in my youtube feed, a Jack Mason and a Traska. Makes me very impatient for the Smiths version as I think it is superior with a no-date design and...
I think these are great, but I wish that the 25 used syringe hands (like the 25Exp) instead of Rolex hands. I think the 25 is a desirable watch and doesn't need to Homage Rolex so obviously (this...
I received my new PRS-25EXP and immediately sizing the bracelet. After sizing the bracelet, I began to set the time. The seconds hand was not moving when I received it for obvious reasons, but the...
billions should be ignored. I sympathize for the people, but they should petition their governments to make common-sense decisions.
Take Singapore for example, it is NOT in the +8 timezone...
I won't buy it if it doesn't have a rotating bezel. I've been through GMT watches without rotating bezels (IWC UTC, 2 Explorer IIs) and they are super boring as they are pretty much useless unless...
lol.. poor rodia can't function without a date? Hint: a calendar and a memory that lasts at least 24 hours is all you need.
I love it. This is a must-buy for me. Ignore those naysayers about the sans-date. I think this watch should be about beauty, and it is a beaut.
I get the "functional" arguments about the date,...
@oca9i - sorry to hear about your loss, that sucks.
I want to give a short review of this watch as I wear it:
1. The gilt printing on the dial is extraordinary. It is the first gilt printing...
