Thanks everyone.

Yeah, she can't take it off. She also loves that she can get it wet.

Great choice. I got my wife the mid size too. So glad I didn't go for the smaller 29mm. Love your Explorer too!

Karis, I'm really surprised how much I like it. The PT dial looks a little lifeless in pics online, but in real life, it is stunning. I'm pondering the larger for myself, but wonder if it would be weird...not sure. I'm pretty slow to pull the trigger.

So, a test drive is in your future!

I've always thought it was cool, but wondered if it was too monotone. Haven't seen one in person for a really long time, but now I'm curious!

The curved lugs really are appealing. I'd imagine it's comparable comfort-wise to my Daytona.

Are you saying it would be weird for you to have the large because your wife has one now? Don't let that stop you!

That is kind of my thought. A little "twinkie". Not sure. Maybe I'll just wear it to work and not when I'm around her. I have a feeling she won't be taking this one off anytime soon.

Hey, twins are cool! At one time, both my husband and I had 16610s...he still has his but mine is long gone.

Looks like her Cartier will be collecting dust! Are the links on the mid-size solid?
