I'm the new owner of an Explorer II white face watch. Since I travel overseas quite often, this watch will keep track of two time zones. I also like new size of the watch face and the SS look.

Looks great with blue lume. Enjoy the watch. Lot of protective stickers to remove though!

Thanks all! I'm very happy with the SS finish, the large time hands and the orange 24 hour dial. This is a great casual watch.

Congrats Mike, it's a great travel watch, and it flies under the radar (which is nice sometimes)... taking mine to Singapore next week... might buy another stable mate for it while I'm there...

cheers
