Yes, It's gets worn a fair amount of time. I think the quality is really good and keeps really good time. The case is finished really nicely. It's a top heavy watch since the case has some heft to it and has a rubber strap. Because of the way the rubber strap fits it does wear a little bigger than other 42mm watches. It tends to sit a little higher on the wrist. It's one of those watches you need to try on before buying. I also love the dial, very minimal writing on it. Super clean! Quote:

I actually had a JLC MUT Moon Phase (silver dial) that wasn't getting worn much, maybe 1-2x a year. It's just a little too formal for me. I ended letting my brother have it since he would get more use out of it. Someday I do want to add a JLC Reverso moon phase to the collection. Need to keep my eye out on the used market for the blue dial version or maybe the rose gold one...hmmm. As for a tourbillion, maybe someday. |

Great collection! I have an Omega SMP that I purchased brand new in 1997, my first luxury watch that I still have today and would never sell....

Thanks for sharing, awesome collection, love your choices! My first watch as a teenager was a Tag too, the old F1 white dial, quartz! Bought it in Singapore on holiday. Little small these days so doesn’t see any wear but great for the memories!

Great collection! How do you like your Polaris Date? I've had my eye on that one for a while now.

The quality is really good and keeps great time, loses less than 2 sec/day. The case is mostly brushed with some nice polished beveling. But my favorite feature is the dial. It's super legible and has different textures throughout. Also, I think the faux-patina on this watch works perfectly. Be aware, it is top heavy since the case has some heft to it and the rubber strap is so light. Because of the way the rubber strap fits it does wear a little bigger than other 42mm watches and tends to sit a little higher on the wrist. It's one of those watches you need to try on before buying. |

A great collection. Why ?
Because you clearly buy what you like, not what is hot ![]()

I'm also required to defend the it any time someone dogs it on the forum. Two of my closest friends who are not watch guys and both want a black dial Explorer II. Furthermore, I swapped it with my twin brother once for his white Milgauss. While I love the Milgauss, being without the Explorer II drove me crazy. It was the longest three months of my life. On many occasions I strongly considered driving the 900 miles from Arkansas to Michigan to get it back. Congrats in advance on the incoming polar! Share some pics! |
