Welp! I got the MK II!

Here's a few quick iPhone snaps:

Name:  MKII1.JPG
Views: 335
Size:  119.7 KB

Name:  MK II2.JPG

Size:  118.9 KB

Any MK II experts out there? I'm wondering, should the bezel be kinda "tough" to turn, and should it click, or turn "freely"? Thanks!

I don't have MkII with a rotating bezel (I have a Vantage), but from what I've read on the MkII forum at WUS, the bezel on the LRRP is held in position by friction only, not a "clicking" mechanism such as a spring or ball bearing detent.

I believe you are correct. I asked the same question on WUS and that's the same answer I got. Thanks!

Looks great, Mark! I always loved original Exp II looks, and I like that yellow second hand!
Wear it in a best of health!

Gorgeous watch! It would look even better on a SS bracelet! The yellow seconds hand gives it character!

Adam, it came w/ a very nice solid SS bracelet, but I've become somewhat of a strap guy lately, and once again, I blame it on my friend Danno!

Looks like a very nice piece. I like the yellow seconds hand as well. If only they could put some blue in there to get all the primary colors.
