It’s a JPM vintage that I’ve had for years, works on anything :)

Seeing all the leathers filling the lugs is lovely

Is this what you've been waiting for?
Yes it is. Number 49 received in good condition. Thank you very much, Mr. Platts.
It's here. A pretty shiny thing. There's some heft to it too. More later. Thank you Mr Platts.
Love it. Number 49 runs fantastic so far.
Will get wristtime at least for the next four weeks.
Yes! I've done the same thing. Isn't the original PRS-25 black dial fantastic on the new bracelet? Getting the Expedition was like getting two new watches.
Eddie, are the hands heat or chemically blued?
What does the website say?

Despatch email received, than you very much Eddie
I now have only 6 UK watch orders remaining and they will ship tomorrow. Still got 42 international though :-(

So I ask you, what is a man to wear to work tomorrow? This...

Or this?

Because I'm finding it very hard to decide...
Thank you for my impossible dilemma Eddie...
You could always just call in sick and spend the day drooling over the pair of them :-)
That was my exact order so let me know what you decide as I will have the same lovely dilemma soon enough. Initially, I was thinking the solution lies in the observation that I am fortunate enough to have two wrists.

Recieved my Expedition today as well as a PRS10.
Still yet to even open the package as it's been a hectic day.
But would like to thank you Eddie for getting all these orders out so quickly considering your recent health issues.

As if I'd look at that!
SO excited for the release of the black Everest after this picture...

Now on leather
The Expedition looks cracking on leather, and on the Erika's!

Bug**r dad's just called me to say that he was out when the posty tried to deliver my parcel this morning,
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."

As Eddie only has 6 to post I hope the two I ordered will arrive tomorrow.
Fingers crossed!
I've been lurking for a while and have been tempted by the 40mm prs25. Then I heard about and waited for the 36mm prs25, then I heard about a new bracelet with rivets and waited longer for the 36mm prs25. Finally the new bracelet comes out and it's on this new everest dial. It looks stunning, glad I was patient but now I have to wait again for sales to open up! I think the everest will be my next watch, after that the black dial prs25 and possibly the white dial at a later date XD. May have to sell some seikos to afford all of this
Arrived today. Very happy. Only change to the Two-Piece Nato Strap Military Green from WATCHBANDIT. Perfekt!

Just arrived, what a cracking watch. Fantastic bracelet too. Well done Eddie

I very much like the way the bracelet tapers in little steps just like the old expanding ones did.
A little dark driving to work this morning, so a rubbish picture, but this is what I wore today...

I love the Expedition, it is such a classy watch (and I am partial to a bracelet), but the PRS29a is what got my Smiths taste buds going in the first place and I have been dying to wear it. It made me smile all day long, I even wore my bifocals so I could see it properly whenever I looked at my wrist without having to reach for my reading glasses. Smitten.
I'm back home now and getting to know the Expedition a bit better.
Appalling time keeping, it's gained a second in a week

Just brilliant.
Looks great even with Rubert the Bear dressing gown

Today I wear my Everest Expedition No 49 on a Steinhart Ocean One GMT 39mm bracelet with SEL of the Everest black dial from 12/2018.
Sorry, I’ll stop after this one:
Wow thanks for the hot tip! Time to rummage in my cupboard. :-)
Thanks! ... your photos are spectacular. Downright cruel I tell you. ;-)
That is an excellent image, it's proving very hard to resistSorry, I’ll stop after this one:
In real life... all the black lines and all the verbiage on the dial... are a lot more subdued. I would go as far as to call it an elegant dial. My favourite part is the two-step dial.Sorry, I’ll stop after this one:
I've had a few days with the Everest Expedition now and I am loving it more and more. To be really, really picky, I would perhaps slightly widen the minute hand and improve the clasp on the bracelet, which doesn't fasten entirely convincingly and feels a little tinny. However, these are very minor points and the watch is just ticking so many boxes. My other half is even angling to wear it 'occasionally' - she is somewhat accident-prone with mechanical watches, so I am yet to agree to that...
If you want a firmer fastening, just bend the little prong on the clasp slightly.

Thanks Eddie - will do.
Other half today asked: "Why are you wearing my watch?"
Let thine other half have it and get yourself an Everest White Dial. The Expedition looks like a nurse's watch anyway.
I fell in love with the Expedition the first time I saw a rendering of it. And I wanted it there and then (while fearful that 36mm might be too small). When I realised that the watch wasn't going to be ready for months and months I got myself another 36mm that I wanted to try. The Marathon General Purpose Mechanical. Going from 45mm to 36mm... especially with 16mm lugs... is let's say, interesting.
Over the last few months I really enjoyed the Marathon. The tritium tubes were wonderful and I wish more watches used them, but 8-12 years useful life is not long enough...
The Marathon is now gone. I can only handle one 36mm watch at a time. I didn't want to post this pic until after it was sold in case the forum policethought I was using this thread to sell the Marathon.
The Expedition is one of Eddie's best watches.
Sharp intake of breath...

It was only said in jest. I am sorry if it is causing offense and I will remove it if it is.
I am told that Greens Watch Services (aka http://www.traserwatches.co.uk) can replace the tubes on all watches that use them.
It's alright, we know you love it really.
Nice picture.
It's a very photogenic watch.
