Explorer Arrival - First Shots

Hey all,

I'm a very happy and proud new owner of a Y serial Explorer 114270. I wanted to share my thanks with all of you who gave feedback on my purchasing debate, and share some pictures I snapped of this awesome watch fresh out of the box. I plan on taking some lume shots in the near future, great low-light photography practice. Enjoy!

Big fan of that watch- I wish they produced it concurrently with the 39MM and new bracelet/clasp.

Love this reference. Went with the larger Explorer II black dial myself because of my huge wrist, but I absolutely love the simplicity of this design. A perfect example of MORE IS LESS. Congrats on a great pickup!
