The boys are back in town!!

Not the newest/coolest with nary a bit of ceramic bezel or large lugs to be found, but my favorites. I bought both of them over the last months, and ended up sending them in for service, since history was unknown. The 16710 went to Dallas RSC, and the excellent watchmaker/AD here in town serviced the E-II. I definately learned my lesson, both won't be going in for service at the same time again . I drove both the poor watch maker and the nice ladies at the RSC nuts with my perstering. Gotta love lug holes and SELs !!

Thanks . The black bezel does it for me, I had the Pepsi on, then tried the Coke, but ended up back at the black.

Climbed a small mountain yesterday, 6500 feet, but I only hiked 8 miles RT and 3,000 feet. Of course, I wore my Exp II with black dial. I absolutely love that watch. I recently picked up a couple GMT II's (Pepsi and Coke). I got rid of them as the Exp II whispered to me it didn't appreciate the competition. Glad your kids get along so well.

To tell you the truth George, the regular voices in my head usually keep me from hearing my watch but I'll listen closer . The E-II is the one I very seldom take off though .
