Quite a journey
It's been a journey for me looking for an everyday tool watch and I've finally made a decision. Started looking at the 36mm explorer back in 2006 but was side tracked and explored different brands instead. When I wanted to get the explorer 39mm I was pulled to the side by the IWC Portuguese Chronograph instead. Then again wanted to purchase the Explorer but the IWC Pilot Mark XVI caught my eye because of its simplicity plus the date function. Then now I realize I didn't need the date, I went on to purchase the Explorer. HOWEVER, looking at my track record with the Explorer... It's quite obvious I did not end up getting it. It's almost perfect... But not quite to actually make the purchase. So now I've got my new tool watch and even have my warranty card dated Dec 25, 2014... Happy holidays everyone. And thank you everyone for those who've helped me through this journey. You know who you are. Haven't actually been posting but I've been reading the forum almost everyday since I joined. Happy new year too!!
Now for the pictures.

Very nice, Harvey. Well done and glad everything worked out for you. It looks fantastic on your wrist.
Love the fact the warranty card is dated for Christmas of this year. Well done.
