Smiths Everest Prs-25 is a pretty good homage. 36mm, newer bracelet has no rivets, 100WR, Miyota mvmt but about $400 in Timefactors website or best bet eBay.

Congrats and congrats! 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾 Enjoy the new piece!

I have mostly mechanical watches except for a small handful of quartz/digital/meca-quartz. For me I love setting the date and time and winding it! Winding a watch gives you that personal connection to it. You become intimate with it. It’s a feeling you don’t get with a quartz you only slap on your wrist and do nothing with/to it. Plus knowing that the movement and watch (some higher ones) were put together by hand by someone. The craftsmanship of that piece. It’s an expression of myself.

Nivada Grenchen F77 or Christopher Ward The Twelve are 2 inexpensive choices.

Christopher Ward The 12. Great choice for integrated under 2000.

Don’t like the crown guards, no micro adjust bracelet, almost $12K? I know it’s a Genta design and integrated bracelet is the “it” thing but $12K for IWC for this reboot is a bit high for my taste.

I think they’ll bring it back in 3 years for the 70th anniversary!
