    I had been hoping to see this in production.

    Mellor-72 is one of my favourites, but would welcome an alternative with sapphire and enhanced WR.

    I'd be on that like a tramp on chips.

    My wish would be for an Ernest Shackelton “Endurance” edition using the PRS 25 as a base.
    Having read the book about the recent discovery of the ship Endurance that was found in remarkable condition, I was fascinated to find that the ship used a series of Smith’s chronometers for navigation and that a Smith’s chronometer was kept on a cord around the neck of Captain Worsley and used by Shackelton to aid Worsley in navigation during their desperate attempt for help when leaving Elephant Island to sail to the nearest whaling station to seek rescue for the rest of his men.
    Eddie was unaware of this incredible association with Smith’s but after some research kindly sent me some information about the chronometer which is now in the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge.

    I would REALLY like this one, although I would prefer beige patina numerals.

    I am not one to shy away from faux-patina, in fact I recently just got out of a phase where I wanted it on everything, however I feel the white of the numerals is what makes the patina of the markers 'pop'?

    Then again, I'm not a fan of the cushion case of the Mellor so my opinion of the dial (which I like as is) shouldn't hold any weight as I probably wouldn't be a buyer
