Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
This is not helping my plan to buy no more watches.

Yep. Especially the white dialled one. That could give be a serious contender to the Air Ministry for me.
What stopped me from having an Air Ministry was the lack of lume.
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Yeah I love my air ministry, and feel that lume would be out of place on the dial, but it definitely stops me from wearing it some days, especially with it getting dark so quick still around this time of year
Eddie, remember this?
Look what just turned up.

I love the top picture and it's still something I very much want to do.

Contender…. Funny way to spell companion!
Think I prefer the colour on this strap but wanted to echo others thoughts on the hardware feeling a bit too Zulu-esque (though I appreciate it might just be because it’s a render)
Eddie
Would canvas/nylon keepers rather than the polished silver keepers be worth any thought?
Again - as everyone else is saying - this will sell out immediately. Beautiful watch.
Eddie
Love this WWW! I like the handset very much, just like the Omega. Are the numerals lumed on this?
Yeah think it's just the minute track/logo/seconds subdial that isn't lumed here. Legibility would be on par/better than the PRS-29!
I like the cream, and think it would look great on a tan/brown leather strap with white or cream stitching.
Eddie
Can the lume on the numerals and markers be made a little darker to differentiate from the dial? On my white-dialled Everest, they disappear into the dial a little too much as the colours are similar.
I think it good that you’ve gone for an 18mm rather than 20mm strap width, which looks a tad too wide on a 36mm dial
Could be wrong, but I'd imagine this uses the same case as the PRS-29, agree this is the right move
The PRS-29 is close to perfect for me so that would be fantastic!
It's my favourite smiths watch for sure, and I've been looking for a good www homage so it's kind of perfect for me as nothing else available scratches that itch
Worth noting Vertex teased making a 36mm www on instagram, so that might be another contender too (although obviously Eddie's take looks to be more traditional new old stock/reissue of the original watch, whereas the m100 is a more modern redesign so not quite the same beast)
That would make sense but something is telling me it's a new case.
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
You know what on second look I think you're right! Lug to lug is way off. WWW is 44.5mm and PRS-29 is 46.8mm
If it's essentially just the PRS-29 case (slab sides, similar height etc) with a shorter L2L then I think it'll actually be an improvement on what I already consider to be an amazing case.
Hi Eddie! I don't suppose you have any update on this model?
Eddie
I haven't got the movements yet.

Is that still related to your other thread? /boom tish, all the best though.
