You chose the right Exp II. Congrats! Looks great with the SELs and lug holes.

Fantastic choice, the 40mm looks better on your wrist. Lug holes makes for easier strap/bracelet swaps too!

Wear it in good health.

Congrats!!! Nice looking piece. All I can say is that you will miss the Pam. I did flip my Pam 359 for a 116520 white dial, wich I love, by the way, but after first week without the Pam the search begun. Next in line Pam 609 or 610. Cheers.


No pain, no gain

btw, i came to this shop wearing my sub c. while holding this polar on my hand and wearing a sub c on my wrist, there was another customer greeted me from behind and compliment my sub c and at the same time asking me what is that white dial watch that i am holding?

i guess the expii is not that recognizable to some.
