Considering this one

But don't know if I could justify keeping my Explorer II, Since both are GMT and both are 100m WR.
Not to mention that I also own the Hulk and DJ II.

I have an RG/SS MMD titanium and it's my go to piece when I'm in need of something fun and colourful. It's unique and the attention to detail is top notch.

Hmmm...

- you have purchased watches from them in the past
- they brought it in for a few days from the US boutique (wonder why...:-)
- they will make you an offer "you can't refuse"
- Its been at least a week since you purchased a new watch



:-)

I try hard to skip it, but it's an amazing watch. I don't care what people say "El Toro" is something else. You have to manipulate the watch to understand its intrinsic beauty not to mention the rest. They offer a good deal, but I said to them, as good as it sounds, It will take me 3 months to come with that money. They said no problem. Pay it up in 3 months and pick it up on January. So that's what I did, tomorrow I will wire the 1st payment.

You are always surprising (talk about watch A and walk out of the store with watch B). You have however, talked about the El Toro for some time now. I am sure January will feel like an eternity.

Enjoy...

Yes I did save an image like that on my computer at the office. I am ready
Actually I could finish paying the AD now, I just owe 12k but I am leaving next Saturday out of the country for 2 weeks so it makes more sense to get it for my B-day in January.

Yes it is! Can't wait. This is a watch for the kid inside of me. Plus it has all this:

*Perpetual Calendar displayed on windows
*No need of pushers everything is controlled with the Crown; you can also go back and forward with the date day or year don't matter "You can't screw it up" is child proof.
*GMT function
*100m WT, go swimming no problem
*Beautiful Rose Gold with Ceramic Bezel
* COSC approved meaning that the average daily rate is -4/+6 seconds .

Is a combat watch!

I love my maxi marine diver in titanium, pictures don't do it justice as you can't see the wave textured dial clearly



The rubber strap with wave pattern is fantastic, as are the titanium links

Very rare here in the UK, only a couple of places that sell them (all in London) - I've never seen another in the wild

That's a completely unique GMT Jorge, I really love that ceramic black bezel, yellow gold and high-gloss croc/gator combination!
