    True, and the commando sapphire sold out so some of those went too.

    Oh wow … looks stunning. Congrats, would you care to share what number you got out of the 500? How is the jubilee looking for smaller wrists? Enough adjustment possibility would you say?

    Can only imagine how good it looks in person. It’s a stunner, would you say it’s more blue or black?

    Nearer to black in (dull) daylight and viewed square on, but angling the face produces a dark blue and under bright light it changes between the two colours with the smallest of movements. It's captivating.

    OK, this is the best I can do with what I've got, but I'm sure some others here can improve somewhat!

    Okay great thanks, similar to what Eddie said. That with more light it starts to look more on the blue side. Photos look great, that aventurine dial really looks like something to behold. What a choice Eddie, the grail Everest indeed.

    Does anyone know how much the jubilee bracelet will be sold for when it’s available?

    No but the watch is £40 more than the standard Prs-25, some of that is down to the more expensive bracelet so £55-60 is my guess. Given the rivet bracelet is available for £46

    Is the jubilee a sturdy feeling piece of kit or more jingly jangly? Any you can liken it to?

    I'd liken it to the standard PRS-25, but with a stunning dial and a smooth, non-rivet bracelet (think Rolex).

    My wife says the bracelet feels exactly the same as the Jubilee bracelet on her Rolex DateJust.

    Mine came today. A truly stunning watch. I'd be repeating what others have said in that the dial is wonderful. I wish more watches had an aventurine dial (Artificer, one day, maybe? ). But the jubilee bracelet really makes this watch; it suits it perfectly, jubilee puns aside.

    Thank you Eddie and congratulations on 25 years in this business.

    By the way, is anyone interested in creating a numbered owners list, much like https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...MT-owners-list ?

    I got my order in quick and it was sent on the second day of shipping so I was surprised at how high my watch's limited edition number is!

    Neat idea, I’ve only ever owned one LE watch and I got a low number. It’s a bonus if there is some connection to the number you get. Number 025 on these would be a cool one to get. 25 for the 25 years in business. What number did you get?

    And more proof then that this one is a fantastic piece. Congrats on getting one, do you think the jubilee will fit a 6-6.5 inch wrist easily enough?

    Thank you. It would fit a 6-6.5 inch wrist VERY easily. It fits my 8.5 inch wrist comfortably.

    Mine arrived this morning and I must say the dial is something else, absolutely amazing.

    I need to get the jubilee sized so I’ve popped it on leather for now. I also ordered the oyster as well for a change but looking forward to the non rivet version if one is released.

    I need to say thank you to Eddie, I emailed him after I placed my order requesting a specific number, he quickly responded and confirmed the number was mine so excellent customer service.

    I wanted number 14.

    I will try to get some photos up if I can get some good lighting to showcase the dial.

    It certainly was and very much appreciated.

    Looking forward to seeing how other straps suit the watch.

    Cant wait to see more pics of the Everest on the wrist. That jubilee bracelet looks great. I was away on the weekend so glad to hear there may be more in store.

    Yepp, I really think it looks like a totally different piece when compared to the Everest. Maybe it’s the dial or maybe it’s the jubilee. A mix of both I guess but appears to be smaller somehow. I know it’s just an illusion though haha

    A couple of contrasting shots of the Silver Jubilee taken on my phone's potato camera. The first one, up close to show the dial, the second a more realistic indication of the size.

    Anyway, I bought this as a future gift for the better half, 100% convinced the sparkly dial and diminutive size wouldn't be for me. As we know though, no plan survives first contact...

    The dial is jet black straight on, with the smallest of movements giving a hint of shimmer, the full light-show only being revealed with movement and direct light, subtle enough for a man to wear. Size-wise, well it isn't as tiny as I thought it would be. I'm more comfortable in the 40mm+ range but more than happy with this. A winner!

    Looks great, if anyone who got one puts it on an oyster or leather please post some shots 😎

    Finally got mine in the mail (UPS sent it to the wrong distribution center). I think I’m pushing it with my wrist size so it definitely wears “vintage” although I still had to remove 3 links for sizing.

    What are your initial impressions of the dial? Wrist shot would be great if possible 🙌

    Hi guys, haven’t read all the way back through the thread - can anyone advise if it’s feasible to just get the jubilee bracelet from somewhere?

    Eddie had an extra 100 jubilees made and they will be sold individually. In the coming weeks I believe.
