You have good taste in watches :-) the speed bird GMT was on my list when I bought the Everest too.
I don't really have anything to add that hasn't already been said...
The rotor is a little bit noisy and I can occasionally feel it spinning on my wrist but I actually like that.
It wears a little bit big on my dainty wrists and if I won the lottery I'd prefer the size of the original explorers (36mm?) but larger sized watches seem to be the current fashion and the Everest certainly isn't overtly oversized, it's just a fraction bigger than I might personally choose in a perfect world. I've worn mine almost every day for a year and I occasionally still notice the weight but then again I hadn't worn anything on my wrist for the previous 4 years and I like the reminder that I'm wearing a watch.
My biggest concern when I took it out of the box was the domed glass sits a little proud (especially compared to my history of Casio F91 watches) and I was worried it would scratch easily but again I've come to really like it.
As I say, I've worn it basically every day for a year. I wanted a single watch to do everything... something I thought looked good but that I also didn't need to be overly precious about. I take it off for cycling/running/swimming/showering and I switch it to the inside of my wrist for commuting but I've worn it hiking, gardening and with a suit etc. It's showing a few marks and scratches but that's life.
I really like it.

Looking at the Smiths Everest.
@radar @inchpincher @ewanmac - do you all still have yours and what are your thoughts?
Cheers.
