Incoming Explorer II

I've been looking for one of these since launch in 2011 and finally managed to secure one of the last available. I love the floating hands, orange GMT hand and for a 42mm case it doesn't wear too big.

Congratulations. I started with the Polar and was somewhat dismissive of the black dial but I ended up buying one and now it gets more time than my Polar. I find it a pleasure to wear with the flat case back and I never see this watch out and about.

Just got one a few days ago as well. Didn’t appreciate the watch from afar. Now I’m really drawn to it. Hard to explain but it’s a forever watch for me.
