Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
A great update to the Everest.
When I had one I found I didn't wear it that much and I moved it on, but I suspect neither would have been true if the gilt one was available - For me, it just lifts it that little.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Anyone else think the gilt would look even better with vanilla / nicotine vintage lume?
I.e. faux aged tritium.
Oh, and one of these:

Yes, I would prefer the vintage lume too.
I read there are trade-offs, but if you want the absolute brightest then you buy the white-dial version.
My PRS-82 has quite good vintage lume, so I think vintage should be "good enough" ...
PS.
I have that Forstner bracelet,
make sure you buy the solid link version if you want to be able to re-size it (it does come with one stretch link).
The version that is 100% stretch links is unable to be resized afaik, so for the small wristed (<=6") it could be too large, or wear more loosely.
I couldn’t have put it better myself
Thanks! I like the idea of one stretch link, seems like a good compromise. I have 7.5" wrists so I think I might go for the "all sprung" one.
Agreed about the PRS-82. Once you've got your night vision it's fine. Besides, I have a phone ;-)
This is perfection!

That's a yes please from me too.
I have a 40mm Armida A6 (I think) with gilt hands/dial that I've always wished could be a few mm smaller :-)
I think that looks great, and nice that you're expanding the range of this popular model.
The 2021 watch abstinence thread has to be rethinking their life choices. That is stunning.
Wow, this is stunning! When is this model going to be available for purchase?
It's just rumor.
Yes, that is very nice.
Stunner.
Ohhhh yes please! This version is EXACTLY what I wanted.
Now just to put my mind to paying 25% more due to frigging brexit and import duties :(
Love the gilt.
It’s already in the shop for this Sunday!

I couldn’t quite believe it either - in IT we call that a “soft release” :)

Perfect, order 1236 confirmed sent to my email, hopefully no issues getting it, can't wait to try this stunner on...
Order 1249! Hopefully this time it doesn't get canceled, end up going for the regular everest! Was so tempted by the gilt though!

2.05 and I missed it.

I like it and prefer it to the Jubilee version, which is too "bling" for me. For this one, I'd either prefer old radium lume with the gold handset or else keep the current lume and revert to the standard handset and only have the gilt dial. I think it either needs to be more, or less.
I definitely agree, the gilt dial & handset does look amazing and with old radium lume it would look perfect. I love the way the EVEREST text is visible in the same colour as the Smiths logo giving symmetry to the dial face, if only it was the same on the black dial model, that then would also be perfect.
There's a massive trade-off with vintage lume with regards to brightness and longevity.

The conflict between form and function.
Looks wonderful... is it okay to say I’m
Jealous 😨
Ooh yes. Beautiful

Would have gone with this version had it been available when I purchased my current model late last year. However will not be flipping as I'm still more than happy with the Everest I have.
Liking this idea but as another poster has said, might be even better with silver hands and slightly aged lume with the gilt writing on the dial? :)
The lume is perfect as it is. Aged lume would ruin it.
I'd hate that, aged lune urggh
Full gilt even the hands yes please

I was referring to the watch, not the person posting...
I do like that Eddie.
Once again, it appears I missed the window. And once again, I'm willing to pay a significant premium (don't be shy) to whoever changes their mind. Remaining hopeful that someone will come through.
I'll be the odd one out, doesn't do it for me.. think the gold makes it look cheap.. the original is much cleaner.. just my 2 cents
Perfect.
