Latest pickup

Bought this at Ben Bridge in Anchorage the other day. I think the 40mm wears great and feels miles more comfortable than my Sub. Only waited a month too. I see many new adventures this summer in the land of the midnight sun.

Congratulations! Looks great. I’m debating the 36 vs 40. Tried both on several times at my AD. I have a 6.75” wrist and just can’t decide…
Enjoy!
We will be in Anchorage in July!

Congratulations. I have the same reference. Glad to hear that it’s more comfortable than the Sub. That was the other watch I was contemplating on getting but decided on the Explorer due to comfort along with other reasons. Wear in good health!
