I stand corrected!

Except this watch has neither.

Yes, just so. All in the same weight font though and possibly the added "-" ending in-line with the one above but not touching the vertical (i.e. some space between the upright and the "-").

So it...

I had an idea. Instead of the circle L how about a circle T but with a small "-" midway along the righthand side of the vertical below the horizontal? (Could be attached to the upright or free...

What about a depolyant clasp on leather?



Eddie hates Bonklips. You can buy a cheap one and fit it yourself though.

I don’t think an automatic would fit in the case? Even if it would it wouldn’t be “right”. That’s why the PRS-29’s are manual wind.

Tbh quartz would make sense than automatic. . .!

This. My understanding is that it will be as close to a Mk XI as possible (barring drilled lugs and sapphire). Not your cup of tea? Look elsewhere.

There are some subtler shades that soften the cold menthol look without going for the full nicotine-stained effect.

Trust Eddie on this one ;-)

This. (T) was an addition to show it had been redialled and wasn't even put on the RAAF ones iirc. There's no need for anything in between 6 and the pinion.

Boobies if it was a remake of the GS...

Although the JLC ones weren't like that

I'd also lose the (L) personally.

Aren’t the early 1016s 18 or 19mm lugs?

Might be wrong about that though.

I do like 36/18 and 40/20 (parallel non-taper strap) but I also like 36 or 38 / 20, esp if the strap or bracelet has a...

Would replacing the circle L with the pheon (ie move it to between the pinion and 6 o’clock) work?

Could even go for the Smiths “fat arrow” (FA) rather than the “thin arrow” (TA). Of course then...

Yep, it’s one of mine! I think the chunky Dennison case on the De Luxe GS/6B would be v hard to reproduce but also not really popular either. As with some other Smiths (eg the Mk X) it’s a rather...

Re the Mk XI: Shoulderless springbars with non-drilled lugs would be my choice but other than that, I love it.

Initially I thought it should have the boobies coronet but maybe save that for the...
