How do you guys feel about the glossy paint on the hands? Are the indice surrounds glossy too?

I kinda like it. It is quite different for me, so all good.



I though the black bits were too much in the beginning, but I have learnt to live with it/like it

Thanks Eric, I'm on the fence on this one, I believe I just need to spend a little time with it. Can I borrow yours?

Happy to do a straight swap with your YMII....

The "fad" thing was a joke in reference to the post going around about it. Dude, I am drooling for this watch and am a huge Explorer fan!

Nice that they take pre-orders. I attempted to pre-order and was surprised that this particular AD had the policy of no pre-orders. May have to talk to someone higher in the food chain.

Do a Google search...it's out there. Not sure how it didn't hit the forum yet....

BWHAAAAAA! If it was true! I'm so full of it!!!!!

Tell me please I got someone!???

dang.. you got me there!!!!

I really like the gloss around the indice and hands, it really makes everything jump off the dial. There isn't one thing that I don't like about this watch so far....except that it's taking so long to get to my AD!
