And now for something different...

I stumbled across this whilst surfing in my usual absent-minded fashion - an Explorer II given the Project X treatment. Now, I know it's a little sacrilegious, but I have to say it looks GORGEOUS.

What do you reckon?

Well you did ask.

I like the orange look but for me it's got to be original.

Dead on!!! It is way of saying that you can afford not to take the watch seriously.

I wouldn't buy one, but if someone gave me one as a gift, I'd wear it.
