I hate to admit it but I wear this one 95% of the time.

After a few days of wearing it... it just becomes a part of you. The best gear just dissapears and you don't even realize you are using or wearing it.

You become seduced by the simple beauty of it. If I could only have one watch this would be it. Its all you ever need and can be worn in any situation.

I could not have said it any better. I got an Explorer four months ago and it has become a part of me just like you describe. As a matter of fact any watch I think about buying now I have to ask myself “am I going to enjoy it more than the Explorer? Will it be more comfortable?” I have yet to convince myself that will be the case so I haven’t pursued anything else.

This one would do it. I don’t care if James Bond or Jerome Powell or anyone else does it - a dive watch with nice clothes doesn’t work for me.

It would probably be my GMT eye of the tiger. It does everything. I tried to get down to just one, but I seem to be unable and I am at 5 now.

Probably this one. But the new Explorer would be a close second because it's so low key and comfortable.

This picture is going to cause you problems. I’d edit yourself, or reach out to a mod for help. Right or wrong, there’s a rule about certain content.

Great display setup, though!

Oh, I understand now. But really, whenever I see something this controversial, I look at the post count.
