Hi Guys,
Would just like to share with you the news that I pulled the trigger today on a lovely mint preowned white face explorer 2.Very chuffed.Been looking about for one -right price and condition for ages .picked up a 6 years old one but youd be forgiven for thinking it was brand new.Will try and get some photo shots done in next day or 2.
Ive had subs +,daytonas before but this explorer is a little less of an in your face kind of watch.I still have my panerai(pam 24) and a PO Omega and feel I now have a complete collection of sports watches for the right occasions and moods -I know I am a lucky guy!!
Thanks for reading this-regards ,

The explorer is much safer model then sub or daytona if you want to walk around Kirkby .
