Smiths Everest (Timefactors PRS-25) Review
In order to talk about the Smiths Everest watch, one must introduce three brands, two people and one very significant historical event. The Everest, unlike most homage watches, is an homage in name and form, but to two different brands¡­as well as to their historical intersection at the highest peak on Earth. You see, in 1953 when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made their historical climb to the summit of Everest, they had with them two watches: a Smiths and more famously, a Rolex.At this point in time, Smiths is clearly the more obscure brand. One of the only English watch brands of the 20th century, Smiths designed and manufactured timepieces, including movements, in the UK from around 1945 to some point in the 70's. Since the brand dissolved it is no surprise that Rolex has been able to capitalize on this event, making the fact that a Smith's was on the journey somewhat obscure to the general public.These days, the Smiths name has seen a bit of a resurrection, as it is

My first experience with APSC
I am always worried when I have to send a watch to the manufacturer for warranty or repair work as somehow things just never come back perfect like they should... but I've only read fantastic things about APSC and my steel diver needed to be sent in for various reasons. My steel diver has been running fast since the very first day I received it... never sent it in since I was too worried that fixing that would mess something else up. I also noticed that the inner bezel of my diver had a defect, it didn't align perfectly with the hour indices on the dial (misprinted). And finally, just before I sent the watch in, I noticed that the inverted triangle at 12 o'clock had a pit or hole on the lume... so I decided to send the watch in to take care of all these issues under warranty and to get my 3rd year warranty extension.I emailed them a few times to confirm their address and response was quite good. They also sent me an email once the watch arrived and it contained a document stating the c

Grail Challenge: 5164 or 5980 As Daily?
The 5980 Nautilus chrono has long been my grail. Not getting it soon. Which gives me (too much) time to (over) think...Would I be better off with the chrono as a daily wearer, or the 5164 Aquanaut dual time zone?I don't travel much, but then again I have no urgent need for timing things either. So as far as functionality goes, they're both evenly interesting and useful.Hard to find used 5164, but used 5980's are plentiful. A new 5164 is nearly as much as a used 5980. Which way would you go? Why?Bonus question: will the steel bracelet from an Aquanaut 5167 fit a 5164?Thanks for indulging me.
