Just got this!

The white dial makes it look bigger than 42mm however, the lume is unreal! definitely glows strong than a sub.

Haven't seen the lume in person but that looks pretty impressive. I get a small jolt of excitement going to a movie theater and seeing the lume on whatever I'm wearing when the lights get dimmed.

I wonder what's on? To heck with it I'm off..

OP - Loved my Exp II - terrific lume and you are right it wears larger than the stats say.

Watch the bezel. Mine was a bit of a scratch magnet but I was a bit careless..

Enjoy.

Excellent lume pic!

I think the size of the "oldies" will fit you wrist better than the modern version which looks too big for your wrist IMO.

yes it does but i am pretty big for a asian dude. except my wrist is alittle small and i wear my watches alittle loose. weather here in Singapore is crazy humid and hot.

in terms of body size and watch size, its quite ok.

Looks great. I think the Deep Sea miss leads folks to assuming that the SD will be to large, but its proportion’s actually wear quite well on most people

Outstanding wrist shot. I really love the Explorer II and that white dial just sets it off. You wear it well!

the white dial makes it bigger than it actually does.

Bigblu10 · 3 July 2018, 12:01 AM

How big is big for an Asian dude? Size of an NFL linebacker?

GreatScott · 3 July 2018, 12:08 AM

Wider hands = more lume. Great pic.

Nikrnic · 3 July 2018, 12:22 AM

Congratulations! what a great choice. I just bought mine two weeks ago and it's been on my wrist everyday since. It is a polarizing piece. ☺

i think that's because of the white dial and kinda reflects.

yes because of the case shape.

its not using the maxi case that subs, gmt and exp are using.

81sforlife · 3 July 2018, 12:34 AM

Very nice! Definitely thinking hard about picking one up too.

Frankie13 · 3 July 2018, 12:35 AM

My daily go to watch. I had Hulk, GMTII, TUDOR black bay and blue Pelagos and sold all but the white Explorer II. For me this watch can do it all. Explorer II and PAM 233 is all I need.
