Hi JSL. Congrats. Good choice. One you will not regret I’m sure. Did you get it from Hour Glass?

Same watch here. Love it. Congrats
Let me ask you this though : When you say the "lume is fantastic “, do you mean for about an hour? Because I find mine to be near useless after an hour or 2 of darkness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think it’s a piece that you will appreciate more and more as time goes on. You’ll appreciate the perfect balance of the dial, the size and proportion, the heritage, the fact that it goes with everything. It’s a real masterpiece. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I didn’t like the Mercedes hands initially, almost wanna choose the OP39 white dial (great dial and same movement), however the lume of the Explorer and the mountain climbing story (ok, the smith and OP are the original Everest Watch) won me |

Yo, THG offered a great deal but I was indecisive that time, when I decided they said can’t offer discount on professional model anymore (I think it’s bullshit la) so in the end I went to MBS Rolex boutique and used all my mbs card rebate lol

That said, I really like my Speedmaster, only that watch is a bit more delicate than the Explorer, I feel that I’m more ‘carefree’ with the Explorer |

I've got a collection of 2: one vintage Omega that belonged to a dear family friend (and which now sits quietly dreaming), and my 214270.
I love most watches and have to be satisfied with fantasizing about owning them, as every time I do so, I realize that my Explorer is all I need. The thought of keeping a bunch of watches on winders or picking from them in a drawer like I would with cufflinks seems like fun, but not fun enough to take wrist time away from my simple little time teller. Wear yours proudly and enjoy! Congratulations |
