Explorer?

I just put a deposit down on my new SUB LV.

In my field, everything is in 24hr time format, so I really want a model with a 24 hour hand.

I really enjoy the simplicity of the Explorer I... I wish it had a 24 hour hand... Just not crazy about the bezel on the Explorer II...

Any other options?

I know --- It just looks so similar to the Submariner... The black is obviously different but the general style doesn't vary all that much.

I wish the bezel-less explorer l could somehow have a 24hr

Get the 16710 with a pepsi bezel, it looks nothing like the sub. Or, you know, the Sky-Dweller

The RG is really cool looking - Just starting out - not in the mindset to drop 40k hahaha otherwise I would be all over it!

I have an LV and Polar Exp II. I love both. Tough to choose, but I think you will love both.

I thought you already put a down on an LV? Having second thoughts?
