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!

Thanks OE!

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 like it's very legible.

vukotab · 29 May 2011, 01:46 AM

I LIKE!

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

ibrando · 29 May 2011, 07:59 AM

Grats on the MK II! Looks awesome!

I'm hunting for a MK II milsub. ;)

Cheers,

Thanks Bill! Kinda resembles the Exp II, doesn't it?

drockadam · 2 June 2011, 12:14 PM

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!

liptonnr · 3 June 2011, 12:53 AM

Nice doc! Congrats

Dan Pierce · 3 June 2011, 12:57 AM

Yeah, I'll take blame for that too. ;-)

He's a bad influence, isn't he?

Stengah · 4 June 2011, 03:24 PM

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.

johnbeth · 4 June 2011, 04:39 PM
