Finally got an Explorer 1!

This is an F series. It's going to take a while getting used to because I am used to wearing larger watches. But I don't think it looks too bad on my wrist.

Over Christmas dinner, many family members mentioned that they like my 14060M better. They feel I got more for my money with the Sub.

I see their point, but the Explorer 1 is more unique I think.

Has anyone else noticed that Roger must be related to JJ. Why else would he use any excuse to post pictures of his favorite watch?

Writer, that is a beauty, so classic and understated. Sometimes you feel like a Sub and other times an Ex I will do nicely...

Roger, damn I never get tired of looking at your collection, still even better in person!

I have to agree with your family. You did get more for your money with the sub.

I too own a sub and my exp 1 should arrive in the next few days.

But you could also say that you get more money from an SUV than a sports car, or a steak dinner than a sushi dinner.

More for your money is not always better if you have a craving for fast cars or sushi.

Nice watch, enjoy it. But it seems to be missing an engraved bezel and a fourth, red hand.

I was hoping no one would point that out to him, John. I thought if no one said anything he wouldn't notice that his watch was defective.
