As somebody who has owned the everest it is not as good looking as the c60 in my opinion, it is quite long in appearance I felt lug to lug.. and did not suit my smallish 7.5 inch wrist.. c60 has always impresssed me though on leather, bracelet or nato, it is just so versatile

Ok for me the C60 has a nice distinctive look about it. Its not a Steinhart "Looks like a Rolex but isnt a Rolex" Though it needs to go on a rubber divers strap rather than a nato. Dont know what colour your one is but I am yet to see one I dont like.

If you are really so taken by a Smiths watch buy a vintage Everest for the same money!
can you REALLY not see the assumption of ETA superiority here? :roll:

The PRS-25 is relatively inexpensive so "BOTH!" is the obvious response.
Do these pictures of my PRS-25 and C60GMT help at all?

Hm that's strange. While I never owned a Smiths Everest, I had a Bernhardt BBA which has very similar dimensions and lug-to-lug length. I found the C60 wore much larger (actually too large for me) than the BBA and was not particularly bothered by the lug-to-lug length even though my wrist is even smaller at 7".

The size of the Smiths should suit my wrist size better, but both have a curve to the lugs that work for me, though the C60's is more pronounced. For me there's nothing in it.
