    I'm assuming it is with the original Geckota end links.

    Each to his own. That two-tone bracelet doesn't suit the watch at all and cheapens it. IMHO.

    See this post, and the subsequent one

    https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...=1#post5605610

    The gentleman shows some options including an Uncle Seiko jubilee (for the SARB033) which "fits pretty much perfectly on my new Everest."

    https://www.uncleseiko.com/collectio...or-sarb033-035

    which suggests that any bracelet that fits a SARB033 should also work, like the President:

    You will probably find the branding less offensive on those.

    It needs a 'gold' bezel.

    I just received my PRS-25 Gilt. What a nearly perfect 36. Well done.

    Just a personal opinion, but I think the only realistic improvement would be the addition of the boobie crown (discussed in another thread). I’m only on my second watch from Eddie, but I’m very grateful for what he does, because achieving this level of detail and wearability with his prices is a remarkable accomplishment.

    Indeed. Perhaps add a daft movie character nickname too. Given a gold ring maybe "Gollum" would be apt.

    Looking closely at the dial it seems to have a sunray charcoal look to it. Subtle but there. Anybody else see it?

    Yes and glad you mentioned it, I was thinking that it was my imagination!

    There is something glorious about seeing the word Everest shining in gold script.

  22. #222
    I’m not a big fan of aged lume but I would be interested seeing a render or something of the gilt with aged lume.

    PRS-25 gilt dial

    Okay so I did a rough mock up with what is supposed to be aged lume ... I don’t think it looks half bad :D

    No Time to Die (black | silver | gold) NATO?

    Anyone wearing this on the NTTD / "modern" Bond NATO? I thought it would look sharp on the gilt Everest.

    First reference the original Omega version, which seems a bit too muted/vintage-lumey:

    But then consider Nick Mankey's version, which has a bit more pop to the gold, which I think would suit the gilt Everest better:

    The original supplied bracelet is very nice in it's own right, but I find the milled rivet links to be a little too thick for the Everest. I do however, love the newly updated clasp, but unfortunately, it is not compatible with the bracelet I have just installed.




    Overall, I'm very happy with this combination.



    The watch now looks and wears almost identically to an early 1016:



    Have a great weekend everyone.
    Did you test the newer rivet end links with this bracelet? Presumably they are also compatible?

    Edit ** I saw your comment about the newer end links not being compatible, could you tell me what the issue is?
