I'm just saying that the fact that Sub is worn everywhere takes something from its beauty, in my eyes. I prefer to wear a watch that someone who doesn't know much about watches would have to get close to it to find out what it is. In my opinion allways and of course without any intention of offending anyone. Besides, I also find that Sub is a wonderful watch. |

I tried on the newer version of the Explorer I and was VERY tempted to get it; however, I really like having a date feature and wanted a GMT this time around. I think you will be extremely satisfied with your choice and find that the Explorer I will be your constant companion no matter what your situation or dress.

If I were you I would get a sub-c, or if you really want to seperate yourself from what most have in the Diver's lineup then get a TT Sub-C, a TT Blue Sub-C, a Green Sub-c, or possibly even a Datejust I or Datejust II since there are so many different dial combinations. |

To Bmonroy17:
The black strap looks great on the Explorer, where did you buy it from? To the original poster: I think we share similar tastes in watches. I too have a Speedy and I too am 26. |

Thank you all for your wishes!!!
Wearing it I believe is the best choice for a distinctive in-house mechanism everyday watch! As soon as possible I'll post more pics! |

I'm also thinking about the Explorer... Let's see. It's a great looking watch indeed!

I have jsut bought my first rolex which happens to be the 39mm Exp. I have had it since thursday last week and just find myself looking at it without realising the time. I agree that if you are happy with it go for it.
I wear it with a suit during the day and jeans at night and although you say it isnt shouty people still notice it!! |

Hehe...nope, but I am looking at the Tag Carerra. Don't tell me you have your eyes set on a 2011 Daytona though! It doesn't look as plain as the Explorer but I think I've fallen in love with it. |

Nice, I like your taste. Well, they say a picture tells a thousand words but I say a video tells a million words, lol. Check out my youtube video comparing the Air-king and Explorer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjGeR..._order&list=UL |

If all else works out well though, I'll place an order for a new Daytona and then the video comparisons will be epic! |
