Icon14 Iv'e just joined the explorer club today

I'm finding it difficult to describe how I feel today. My Explorer has arrived!!

The watch stunned me as soon as I opened the lid. There is simply nothing I dislike about this model. Seeing it in real life is an absolute joy. It is soooooo stylish and smart! The wait has been worth it.

Comfort on the wrist is 10/10


My thanks to David SW and TRF for enabling me to find this beauty.

Congratulations! Excellent choice, that watch can go from sports to full-dress and anything between.

I've had mine for about a year and it always feels so go to put back on the wrist after wearing a piece with a rotating bezel... feels so comfortable. Congrats and great pick!!
