Out exploring with my Christmas present

For Christmas Santa brought me a brand new Exp II (white dial) V series.

On new year's eve I took it exploring at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

Hope you enjoy watching the snaps as much I did taking them

PS. I will post more close up snaps of the wonder; my bulky 18-200mm Nikon lens isn't greatl for macro shots.

Congats, Puffy.......what a beauty!! If it's the V-series, I'm pretty sure it will be equipped with the new 3186 calibre.

Just unscrew the crown, pull it out a notch (so the hour hand moves around the dial) and make ONE complete revolution of the crown. The hour hand should jump 8 hours.............which proves it's the 3186 calibre in there.

The accuracy of this movement is simply mind-boggling!!!

Cheers - JJ
