Was about to post a new thread reflecting my love for the AK, then stumbled on this love-fest! I have a few nice watches in my collection, including a few dressy Pateks, a late 90's ExpII Polar, uncommon TT DJ Perpetual in a Quartz-shaped case/links (ref. 1630), and an 18k Perpetual head from the early 50's (ref. 6567 w/ cal. 1030). And what do I reach for, even more often than the "Everyday Explorer II?"

I love the look. Simple. Even at 6'2" and 260# with a 7.5" wrist, I think it is a good size at 34mm. (Had a 45mm Zenith chrono...ridiculous! SO done with oversize watches!) This example is from IV63, and has the wrong (but an original) USA stretch rivet bracelet with a 1957 date code. Ran fast but I made one effort to regulate it, and I think I nailed it on the first try: loses 2 sec with wear and gains 3 sec dial up overnight for a net +1 (probably needs a service). It's a 26 jewel cal. 1530.
