Is ExAlts a term, it is now. I'd like an Explorer but I don't want to drop 5K n a watch a the moment, plus I think the current 39mm is too big for my rather small wrists. I'm planning to but a new watch in September and have started to draw up a short list. All thoughts and comments appreciated. It must have a bracelet, a black dial, a simple bezel and be under 40mm. Roman numerals are a nice to have with legibility being key. A date neither makes or breaks it. My list and thoughts.
Smiths Everest: Ticks all the boxes and the price is great but I'm a little unsure about the homage thing.
TISSOT PR 100 POWERMATIC 80: I like the amount of watch you get for your money but I find it a little dull.
Ball Fireman Enterprise. I like the watch face, tritium is interesting. Not pushed on the bracelet and clasp
Sinn 556A; Lovely looking watch, worried it will wear big
Tudor North Flag: I really liked the 70's vibe and the splash or colour. I've had it on my wrist and probably a fraction too big and the top end of my budget.
The Sinn and the Smiths are the front runners.
