Plenty of thoughts/threads/discussions (both here and all over the web) on the Smiths W10 and TimeFactors' reissue PRS-29...

...etc....so I won't rehash details or belabor the point other than to mention the PRS now only has 1 version in 36mm [seemingly there was a period with both 36mm and 39mm sizes] with removable springbars, drilled lugs [18mm], and sapphire crystal with AR coating.

I love Smiths and have always fancied owning a Smiths Deluxe or JW Benson Everest watch, but being inclined to avoid radium dials I moved down the list. I couldn't make up my mind on whether to seek a vintage W10 or the TimeFactors' reissue, so I went for both (why buy 1 when you can buy 2 at twice or thrice the price?) and am twice as happy.

Thanks OF for feeding my interest and being a great resource!
Enjoy the pics.

Puzzled that given its military connections, Omega hasn't revived something like the Dynamic 3. Maybe the Swatch group thinks Hamilton is the "military" brand?

 

I have been on the same journey- got the PRS and am still waiting to find my Smiths- kudos on getting both. My PRS says hi.

 

Did somebody say Benson Everest watch?

 

Love it !!

 

Looks pretty spot on to me

 

Thanks.
Took me a while to research this model. The exhibition of the original is really helpful.

 

Still an under-rated watch that wears so well. I love my Smiths 6B. Have occasionally thought about the Timefactors reissue, but the originals were made in my home town so I have a special affinity with them. My two Cheltenham-made watches:

 

Why not a Smiths 'Everest'

 

DIBS!

 

Got you

 

I missed out on a beautiful late 50s DeLuxe at auction last fall, but Smiths is definitely one of those fascinating niche brands worth taking more than a glance at. I've heard good things about the Time Factors watches; can those here who have them support this claim? I've yet to come across one in person myself, but they have my interest piqued!

 

Had this one since December '16 and it is a fantastic watch

 

also a great 36 mm Smiths navigator re-issue...
