With the other logo... maybe it makes it to close to Rolex original? But it does look really nice!

Really excited about this potential model! It would be good to see which variation of the 'Smiths' logo works best.

No more changes, it's off to production.

^^^ which is why if you can make the 36mm as shown in your latest design you should have people lining up to buy. Not many people have the cash or willing to spend that kinda cash for an original 1016.
Interesting how those hands are not touching the index markers but on your 1016 they do.

Hi Eddie, what was the final design chosen? And when might it be available? All the best

Looking forward to this release, I hope it will be my next incoming.
Great Eddie!! (36mm + longer Minute hand = perfect!)
Curious about the max wrist size for the metal bracelet.
I’m going to purchase one (hopefully). For my father. I was showing him a few watches I was hoping to buy soon and he said that if possible he would love to have one if I was able to purchase two. The thing is he has big wrists... so I’m curious what is the max wrist size that the bracelet will fit?
Thank you.
He’s the same size so good to know for future reference as well.

It's good to see that this watch has brought some new members to the forum. I'd like to say hello and welcome on behalf of everyone here and that I look forward to your positive contributions throughout the forum.

This looks awesome, I'm on the queue for one.

I'm wondering if /hoping that the change to a saphire crystal and smaller case size will act to dampen the sound of the movement which is sometimes noticeable in the original everest.
I purchased a Spitfire a 2 or 3 years ago (does not receive enough wrist time!) and decided to check up on what Eddie has in the product pipeline yesterday, wow a 36mm Smith's Explorer (+ beautiful automatic chrono)! I never pulled the trigger on 39mm Smith Explorer (I did not like the look of the minute markers on the dial), this checks all the correct boxes. I can not wait for this to become available.
The Zeno has a particularly tall acrylic crystal which unbalances the watch in my opinion. I’m looking forward to some shots of Eddie’s new 36 to see how his turns out!

Not to mention the rather worrying QA issues that Zeno has with the NOS AS movements that they are using at the moment.
Having tried the old Everest and found it way too big, and experiencing a number of faults with ZEX's which I find to be the ideal size - this latest incarnation looks ideal.
The original PRS-25 was made with that case size and dial design so as not to be yet another Explorer clone. From 25/11/2011 . . . "It was never intended to be an exact copy, just share a bit of the DNA :wink: Eddie" .
Having said that I do like this new version.

Just checked to satisfy my curiosity and the Zex is 14mm thick. The Everest is going to be 11mm. So Eddie’s new incarnation sounds like it’s going to be spot on.

Glad I checked this thread out. Last time I looked the new Everest was due to be bigger. This is spot on for what I want and should stop me blowing 2 grand on a BB36. When should it be available?

Eddie, wasn't the larger version supposed to be delivered this month?
Eddie had already sent the 41mm into production some time ago. If you look at the earlier parts of the thread. Then a few fans (myself included) started asking for a 36mm version and Eddie tinkered with it and said it would be ready by Christmas (hopefully). I actually spoke to him by phone back in August and he said (at least as far as my memory serves me) that he was making both.
On Page 2 of this thread he shows the prototype and on page 3 he states it will be ready (hopefully) by September.
So unless he cancelled production in favor of the 36mm i would expect there to be 2 versions.
Eddie has like a 7.5'' wrist.

I just discovered this thread and I read that the new Everest will be available in 36 mm with upgraded specs (sapphire first of all) !
Another watch to buy ! If just the bracelet would taper from 20mm to 16mm, but I know that you can not have everything in life ...
Currently being assembled ready for shipping on Friday.

Hi Eddie is this the 36mm? When will it be in the website and how limited is the run?
