I see the white dial Everest and the Exhibition will be on sale on the 6th (when I'm in transit to Dubai, d'oh). It there any date for the updated version (new bracelet, movement) of the black dial Everest?
I'm sure Eddie will make everything clear when he's good and ready.

I'm really confused with the PRS-25 in 36mm...
There is already a black face in 36mm.
There is a white face already released on the website but not due on sale until the 6th Oct.
The white face was meant to have an updated handset, but doesn't due to a mix up with the watchmaker. The updated hands can (will?) be sent with the watches?
The white face has an updated rivet style bracelet, with a much smaller clasp.
I think the above is all correct.
For the 36mm black face. Is the updated version for sale on the 6th as well?
Was this meant to have an updated hand set but doesn't?
Will this have the updated bracelet?
If there is an updated version of the black face, this doesn't seem to be reflected on the website.
I'm sure this has been answered before, but there seem to be multiple threads discussing these watches.
Thanks all.

The updated black 36mm is due later in October, no definitive date given yet. It will have the new, rivet bracelet and was supposed to have the updated hands. I assume that the updated hands haven't happened due to manufacturer mix-up, but it may be that they're a different batch from the white dials, so maybe they have been updated? Eddie has said that it was 300 watches made with the handset not updated, so whether that it is 300 white dials, or 300 of a combination of black and white dials I don't know for sure. (I suspect it's 300 split across the two dials, though.) I haven't seen anything definitive from Eddie on that specific point.

Also the 36mm black dial will have the "old size" hands, due to manufacturer mix-up.
Apologies if this was covered, but going by the spec sheets it seems that Eddie has moved to the higher grade Superluminova X1-C3 on the new White dial PRS-25 and the Expedition. I imagine the next black model would follow suit.
The original 36mm black PRS-25 is listed as Superluminova C3...
Hi Eddie, wishing you well for tomorrows avalanche.
I hope all the posts translate to actual sales, let us know at some point how comically nuts it goes at 2pm.
Can I ask for your confirmation on what the score is with the black Everest?
When do you think you will have the samples or confirmation of hands installed.
One of the Trio will be in my grubby mits soon.
Kind regards WallyUK.
You should sign up for the Timefactors email newsletter, Eddie sent an update on Oct 5 which reads in part:
“New stock of the 36mm black Dial Everest is due to be available at the end of October.”
Also in one of these threads Eddie confirmed that the manufacturer installed the wrong (same old) hands, not new adjusted length ones. Those won’t be getting corrected, they will ship with the original length hands. The best concession seems to be that Eddie may ship extra updated hands to those who ask, and they can deal with their watchmaker at some point to get them installed. Details TBD on that...
The white dial Everest has the original set of hands only (long minute hand and short hour hand), and there is apparently no option to have a revised set of hands for it.
(Eddie confirmed in email to me after I ordered the watch and requested the additional hand set).
The prototype photo did have the longer hour hand, and Eddie did say in the post accompanying it that the production model would also have the shorter minute hand. Neither seems to have come to fruition in what is available to buy unfortunately, nor are there any plans to redress. I'd have to assume another cock up at the manufacturer, similar to what they have done on the Mk 2 black dial Everest.
Shame, but whitey is still going to be a cracking watch, so will proceed as planned :-)

All going well, I'm planning to buy the Everest on Sunday. I know I saw this in a thread somewhere but can't find it now. What size screwdriver do I need for the bracelet?
Is UK time GMT+1?
Order submitted at 1403, now to be patient!
Order also submitted with a cheeky request for a birthday number. Fingers crossed Eddie.
I will wait the new hands.
Perhaps January ?
