Congratulations, Jay. You just got my all time favorite watch. Mine is also an all black Y series. Bought it mid '03 and it is the absolute best.

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I love mine.

Hi Guys

Thank you all for the congratualtions and best wishes on my recent purchase

I am loving this watch I have no doubt this will be a favourite alongside my COSC 14060M. Not sure if the Explorer (I) will survive

I may have to flip it for another GMT variant ....... Explorer II

Anyway, pics may have to wait - enjoying an evening with my borther's family.

Thanks again all

No, no, no, that's not how it works. You must learn to rationalize. Both are much better than one or the other.
Congrats and welcome to the 4 hand club.
