Thanks Chris.....

& I am absolutely LOVING it!!

Honestly mate it's everything I thought my 16570 should've been....

(No offence meant to any of the Classic Explorer II owners.... I'm just a fat bastid that likes a bit of 'heft' in his watch! )

Wow, it is really a sweet watch. My only concern with trying to source one is that it might overpower my wrist at 6.5". But I'm quite interested in seeing one in person. Thanks for all the great photo threads!
