I wear a suit 2-3 times a year so for me putting something with a collar on & not wearing sneakers or workbooks are the times when I wish I had something in between that could go with shorts & a t-shirt or be dressed up. If that makes sense!!
Yeah, same here actually.

How bout explorer 1 or 2 ?

Unfortunately at 37yrs old I'm not sure I could pull it off. Also my job would prohibit me from wearing one to work ever.

Yet some live in bigger houses than me!!! Lol

I say go for the YM Blue now for some PM, and then when you hit 40 you'll be ready for a whole lot more.

That thing is beautiful!!!!

My dad bought a 16628 with blue face and I thought man I can't wait to barrow that........ He shut that down pretty quick!! But he let me play with it & all I could think was even though it's a good looking watch it would be better if it were a sub with blue bezel also.
