Congrats on the perfect explorer.

I can't wait until my ad gets one so I can see if it will look good on my thick wrists.

Now that's patience

Good to see your wait rewarded, great looking watch

Enjoy

Thanks, guys. No list...This one just replaced the last "short hands" Explorer in the front window of the AD that I walk past on the way to work every morning

Well, it's the next day now but it looks like the photo site is at least sorta working so I might as well make good & post some more of these "incoming/unboxing" type pix..

Yep, it is nice to get the "full experience" at the AD but to be honest, 9 out of 10 times I'd still go with my usual watch dealer
