I've put mine on Eddie's new black nato today and it's as good as any combo I've ever tried, I love it.
Wanted to see what it was all about and I'm suitably impressed
Tried the bracelet over the last few weeks, can't bring myself to wear it it's definitely not for me.Put it on Eddie's new grey Nato today and it looks superb, so that's where it's staying.
Odd thing.
For as long as I can recall, I've only worn watches on bracelets. Never wanted to wear them on straps.
Things seem to have changed over the last year or so, and now it's rare for me to wear a watch on a bracelet.
I suspect the purchase of a few deployants has helped.
TaketheCannoli that strap is superb , love the gnarly and worn look .
I still think the hands are too short.
Eddie, something to amend in the new batch?
Thanks, I love it. It's easily one of the best leathers I've had and at a fraction of the cost of some of the more expensive ones. Sean's a really good bloke with a great skill.
Actually I had the watch and strap on today and it was commented on for the first time, and by a bloke who was wearing a lovely vintage Breitling chrono.

I've got one due and intend to wear it on the bracelet, but notice that most end up on leather or nato strap. As I'm not keen on either, what's the reason for this - is the bracelet uncomfortable?
I guess that there are a number of reasons - aesthetics, dislike of bracelets etc etc
When I had one I thought that the bracelet was good quality and no problem in relation to comfort. In my case I found that it made what is for me quite a large watch feel even bigger on the wrist
I sometimes think Eddie should do a watch-head only option for forum members, as the majority sold with bracelets appear to end up being removed. I'm sure it must cost him time and money to produce them too.

Cheers.
No, the hands are perfect. I've worn mine for four years and have never thought they were too short.
There are loads of threads about this. If you have smaller wrists the raised centre links of the bracelet make the whole watch wear much bigger. I love the quality and taper of the bracelet, it just wear so much smaller on leather or NATO.
How many inches is a small wrist? (I don't know what size mine are).

I just found out I'm about 20cm, which must be medium. If it looks like Montybaber's shot above I'll be more than happy.
The Everest arrived and the bracelet is very comfortable. (It didn't even need adjusting). The watch feels slightly heavy, but I've been wearing a plastic Timex for the past few weeks.
Had mine for nearly a month now and it's still on the bracelet. It's probably the most comfortable bracelet I've worn, other than my old Omega SMP 200m.
I only wish the watch was slightly smaller - 38mm would have be ideal for me. Apart from that I'm more than happy with it.
^I bought the watch specifically for the bracelet as I'm not that keen on leather straps and can't abide Natos. I agree if you remove it you take away some of the heft, but it will still be 40mm, and as I said I before 38mm was just a nice to have. It's still a great watch.
I am looking at Pav's tan strap for mine at the moment, can't believe you've just posted a picture! Do you have a shot of the leather Nato on the watch Dave as I'm undecided between the two.
Thanks.
Cheers Dave.
I have been looking (day dreaming about) some Tudors and Rolex's of this same expedition style. I have to say the Smiths Everest is a great looking time piece which I would love to have on my wrist in the not doo distant future. What size is the bezel? Ideally I'd like something around 40-42mm.
Had mine a month and have to say the crystal scratches very easily, which is a bit disappointing...
It's bound to being plexi but you can also remove those marks very easily with Polywatch. Plexi is soft but it's still my favourite as it gives warmth and distortion like nothing else. I've had my Everest for over 4 years and I give the plexi a once-over about once a year.
Lovely watch on a lovely strap.
I blow hot and cold on this more than any other watch depending on straps. I wanted one then when i went to buy, the last batch had just ran out. Went off the watch and had a new obsession, watched several come and go on SC and now i'm really fancying one again. Sods law the recent flow of them on SC has turned to a drought.
^I'm not sure they all sold on SC, they may have just dropped off? I'd recommend trying one. For me it only works on the bracelet, which makes it quite chunky but also makes it a great all-rounder.
Its funny I have been looking at this watch all week, went to order one from Timefactors site on Thursday and came up with that not taking orders until the 20th October Anyone have a mint one they want to sell by any chance?
I wear my Everest on a nato at lest 50% of the time. I ordered a 20mm Coyote Brown from Eddie for my G10 which arrived today and I think it might just be the perfect nato for the Everest. If only they came in 22mm, although I will live with the 20mm being a little gappy.
Here it is on a lovely thick shell cordovan Toshi.
Very nice indeed
i like the watches indeed.
