    I'm not a tease! :D

    Just going to have a cuppa tea, then I'll size the bracelet.

    Quick wrist shot.

    The guilt is amazing, hard to capture in a photo, but is very similar tomgold leaf, catches the light beautifully.

    Very impressed.



    Well done Eddie, and thank you.

    Maybe a few more photos in different lights to see how the gilt looks.

    Looks fantastic and a great photo. Can't wait to get mine although it'll probably go straight onto leather. Think the gilt will make this a bit of a marmite watch for some, but there will be enough on the pro side of the marmite equation to keep them very sought after.

    A very short and very unprofessional video!

    I'm trying to catch the shimmer of the Guilt, hopefully it'll shows.

    Thanks for sharing; particularly like the more visible Everest and larger font De Lux over my standard polished silver example.

    Looks great in the video, I mean was there any doubt. What’s with doing one of these what the watch reviewers do on YouTube. Pass it round for us all to have a go 😆 just a suggestion

    Oh wow that looks absolutely superb, there are going to be 100 very happy people in the next few weeks!

    I wonder if there will be another batch.

    Ohhh I like that, just had my shipping notification that my Gilt Everest will be here tomorrow, cheers Eddie...

    To be honest when I seen the initial images of this I wasn't sure, didn't really do anything for me.

    But wow.. that looks fantastic!
    Great pics and makes the watch look amazing.

    Thanks for sharing.

    PRS-25 gilt dial

    Taken from watchuseek. Seems like the minute hand comes with a nice bevel now. I wish the lume was at least white instead of mint. Looking great anyway

    And the gilt logo looks like it changes it’s shade a bit when moved in different light. Very nice indeed.

    That’s mine from WUS , can’t seem to work out how to post pics on here without having to resize lol.
    The lume certainly doesn’t look mint in real life , more (very slightly ) creamy white , for some reason it comes out as mint on photos .

    Looking very very good.

    i can't wait to see a side by side with the explorer 'classic' silver hand.

    Mine’s just arrived, it’s definitely an improvement for me on the original, it’s a stunner...

    Looks just wonderful.... love how the gilt changes the dial. I’d be happy to own both. The silver and the gilt, would be a good two piece collection right there 😄 really hope Eddie has another batch in store for us 🙏

    I can't decide either which is why I've not tried to get either yet..... think I need to decide on some others first and get what is most different.
    I'm just glad neither are limited editions or it'd be hard to hold off.

    Seeing more pictures of the gilt dial explorer is making me start to wish I ordered one instead of the steel hand version.

    I guess Eddie will have more in stock in a few months I guess.

    PRS-25 gilt dial

    Please. It’s “gilt” rather than “guilt.” Guilt is what criminals with a conscience feel. Gilt signifies gold-plated hands and indices on beautiful watch dials. Not the same. Although I suppose if you stole a certain watch, the two concepts might indeed conflate just a bit.

    The gilt dial does looks amazing and so much better with the word EVEREST is the same colour as the Smiths logo, maybe this could be added to the black dial model instead of the under radar wording.

    This I feel would bring even better symmetry to an already excellent dial.
