The Laco Valencia is very much like what you describe...
...something along the lines of the Smiths Everest but perhaps a bit larger, preferably with arabic numerals, up to about £1500 new or used any ideas please?

Various Hamilton Khaki Field watches come close. Certainly the size, arabic numerals and syringe hands.
Whether you can the dial colour you want, I'm not sure. This is close if it's the Smiths model I'm thinking of:
Worth a look at some of the silver or champagne dials because I think the colour looks quite different in person.
I've always liked the look of this one, though it may be more white than cream:
What about the Scottish company Anordian? They have a white and cream colour enamel dial with syringe hands for under your budget.
There was also a Kickstarter last year, Vario Empire. I had the silver dial and really liked it.
One of the stretch goals was to create a cream dial version, which they made. I can't see any pictures out there or a way to order one, but if you email the creator he might be able to help. Here's the original:

I backed this same watch. Mine was the Miyota 6T33 hand wound gilt movement. It was a nice watch overall but the crown was way to small which made winding it a bit of a task and pulling out the crown was really a challenge. I eventually flipped it for that reason. Hamilton has a white dialed Khaki mechanical and you can't beat the Hamilton for a crown that is easy to grip.
Yeah I know what you mean. Was a lovely looking watch for the money though, although I think I liked the strap more than the watch if that makes sense? Ended up making a small profit on it, and he seems like a nice guy so happy to have supported him. I have some good, bad and ugly Kickstarter experiences, and this was definitely the good one.
Might pick up some more of their straps some day.
Thanks for all the suggestions, just going to start investigating now...:)
Just to round this off I evenually bought a Smiths Everest Expedition last month which could be a tad larger for my taste but otherwise fits the bill perfectly, a really nice thing to look at.
Not quite syringe hands, but only just released, these blued hands are lovely and the numeral dial too, so this might be a good option
And it is a smidge under 40mm across the asymmetric case

Muhle Glasutte have a nice cream dial offering,quite keen myself.
Deleted - I looked at the posts earlier in the thread and realised the OP has already purchased the watch. Apologies
