Very very nice watch Eddie. Thanks for sorting out all the trouble with my card.
Photographed next to g10 for size comparison. Strap is a haveston canvas.

This is a much, much better watch than the 53 or the old 29 which I had. Just imo of course.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Sorry to bore the tits off everyone but this is a seriously good watch. The quality of the case, dial and finishing is amazing for the money. Sapphire brings it up a notch. The way this curves into the bezel is very well done indeed. Very pretty profile on this watch. Love the washing machine sound of the rotor. 36 is the new 42. No idea why people go for such big lumps of steel hanging off their wrist. Love the size. Love the simple signed S on the crown. My ageing eyes really appreciate the legibility. Fanboy Dave.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Mines landed!
Unfortunatly Im at the dentist so cant dash home to open it!!!
Mmmm

I did a quick google search and then deleted my post as Eddie has stated several times he doesnt charge VAT so it's a non issue,
Apologies!

Looks great, but isn’t that the 40mm version?

Arrived in Bremen
Yes, got it, very nice! I put it on an old and used Nato strap that was waiting for more than ten years for this Explo^W Everest.
Many thanks to Eddie and Merry Christmas for everyone!
cheers

Missed delivery of mine today as my daughter was out when the postie came. Will have to play the queuing game tomorrow but looking forward to trying out what looks like a stunning release!
Nine more to ship tomorrow and then finished.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

Thought I'd be wearing this on the bracelet, but some of the strap options posted thus far are really making me reconsider ... looks amazing on leather, canvas or NATO !!! Hopefully mine arrives tomorrow ... :)
I’m jealous, got to wait until Tuesday for mine. Going to put it on a dark brown cordovan for the big day.
Keep the pics coming, I need my fix whilst I wait...
Great work on this and a stirling job to get them all shipped across the globe in time for Christmas
Its a JPM vintage - tried the bracelet but the clasp doesn't work for me so it will be living on leather from now on.
I cant recall the last time that I was excited to open a parcel.
To say that I am impressed by this would be an understatement, its fabulous!
I don't like the bracelet especially the very chunky clasp, however I'm not a bracelet fan anyway so the fact that it came straight off that onto leather does not detract in anyway from my pleasure at having got my hands on number 41. Its on a Hirsch Duke at the moment but I may try it in something darker soon and I think that it would suit a grey TF Nato very well too.
The size is perfect and the standard of finish including the dial design, hands and crown is way better than the nearest other thing to a 1016 the ZEX.
Outstanding lume too
It even comes with a built-in fidget spinner!
<flick> Whirrrrrrrrrr....
Oh my, the bittersweet ecstasy of the waiting game . . . sigh

F.T.F.A.
Looking absolutely stunning gents... I can't wait to get this on my favourite NATOs
mine is at the local sorting office as after 8 days working from home (shoulder injury) I felt I needed to go in today - will pick it up 'on the way in' tomorrow (it's actually in the other direction but only 5 mins).
Would love to keep it on the bracelet but never do - occasionally use cheap ebay bracelets but they get scratched to b@ggery - so nato or leather it will be.
had the original, nice enough but plain due to the size (a bit like the 39mm explorer in spite of the bling) so hoping at this condensed size it works (rolex obviously believed so for many years).
I've had a tatty original zeno explorer and one of the more recent examples that didn't work for me so we'll see how this goes - have the recent black dialled '29 and wear it regularly / equally alongside my more expensive watches (Seamaster 2531 / Speedmaster Pro / 1995 Rolex 14060) and that is in no way the cheap alternative just another watch for a another day, this will hopefully slot into the pattern.
It looks fantastic. My only question is the second hand lollipop ...on Eddie's dial close up the lollipop hits just touches the indices, but on the latest pictures it appears to overlap. Is it just an artefact of the angle that the images are taken at?
