And it was a mistake.

My wife looks at me and goes, "wow, that thing is awesome. I love it. You should get it".

Well, if you don't know a whole lot about me, that's all it pretty much takes. Besides it was so outrageously comfortable, and looked so good, I was probably going to anyway.

Didn't take a pic, but texted David. It'll arrive on Tuesday.

Trying to be responsible (depending on the definition) lately, and clearly I'm a flipper, so will be posting my explorer 2, 42 polar for sale shortly.

I didn't think I'd like it. Was a fluke, I even looked at it. Wasn't on the radar.

But it's super comfy and really nice. A great watch for sure. Pics as soon as possible.

Still waiting to see one in the flesh but they look awesome. I am a big fan of the
grape dial but they all look pretty cool. Congrats on the incoming OP. I am also a serial flipper

Mauiguy · 18 October 2015, 08:50 AM

Which dial color did you get?

Ravager135 · 18 October 2015, 09:02 AM

Ditching the Explorer II?!

I know you love the exp. it's just too big for me. It's a big 42mm on my wrist.

I've got a gmt in the blro. It was the only watch I'd let go, just because I don't wear it.

Muzz · 18 October 2015, 09:23 AM

That is awesome Seth!!! I think it is a great watch!!! The purple dial has been tempting me lately!!

AK797 · 18 October 2015, 10:10 AM

Watches can be a great distraction, go full steam ahead, my friend.

alanc · 18 October 2015, 10:13 AM

To me the OP is an overlooked gem; very elegant and classy. Great choice!

Exactly right my friend.

We had to get out of the house. A good distraction indeed.

Danny83 · 18 October 2015, 10:49 AM

Nice way to do it

Thanks Steve. Really good looking watches.

Simple. Clean. Comfortable. A great line.

Cru Jones · 18 October 2015, 11:26 AM

Nice! Tempting for sure.

I don't know what I'd take between the blue or grey.

And with the benefit of an Explorer drive train.

Mr. K · 18 October 2015, 11:37 AM

Great pick up, I have a 36mm version that I like. But blue dial.

Totally understand. Just throwing shade your way. You need something subtle and with the grey dial you have a light dial watch to replace it with. Congrats in advance.

Don't get me wrong. I think the exp 2 is one of the sexiest watches ever made. I've had it way too many times. I keep coming back because it's so attractive.

For me tho, it looks better off than on. Stunning reference.

No doubt man. The new OPs are sexy as hell and at 39mm it will prolly give you the fit you want. I feel that way about the Milgauss. I had a GV and loved the way it looked just not on my wrist. Didn't sit right.

brandrea · 18 October 2015, 12:02 PM

Congratulations Seth, the OP is pure class, and simplicity at its finest. Can't wait for the incoming

sickened1 · 18 October 2015, 12:03 PM

Yup, can't wait for some pics! Congrats in advance, Seth.

Congrats, Seth. OP is very nice...

Wesley Crusher · 18 October 2015, 02:24 PM

The new OP is very nice. Simple and sporty. I can't say I'd flip an Explorer II for one, but if you're happy with the move, more power to you!
