Journey started with a frustrated decision to buy an ExpII (2021 ref 216570) since nothing else was in stock at my AD. Much to my surprise, it became my daily due to it's versatility as a formal dress watch as well as a tool watch, traveling with me across the USA.
A 2002 ref 16570 came across my AD's shop and he called me about it since he knew how much I enjoyed the 216570, and without a second thought, I bought the 16570 and IT became my daily - beautiful proportions, great size, flew under the radar (which I love) and blended well for any occasion.
My AD was onto my by now and less than 12mo out, he called me again but wouldn't tell me why he needed to see me. I waltz into the shop only to be greeted with a gorgeous 1987 ref 16550 (rail dial, spider-webbing, creamy lume) - needless to say, this replaced the 16570 on my wrist as a daily!
The ExpII has become the ultimate watch for me due to it's versatility, looks, hardiness, subtlety without cutting any corners. Looking forward to enjoying these for years to come and hopefully be able to add a 1655 to complete my ExpII journey
