Compared to my little brother's beast:

I even put it on my ankle, it just looks like an ankle bracelet used for house arrest.

What I'm saying is I guess I just like the more traditional designs, and I'm not really following this whole big watch fad. But it might change when I get older.

and your brother's watch is running 30 minutes behind. Probably because of all the heavy stuff inside...

No offense meant here, because I'm into the more sporty watches (reflection of personality?), I might have to agree with your wife there. The diamonds are a little flashy for my taste.

But each to his own! I'm sure you love it!

That's a funny-looking LV? Maybe it should go in the "Watch-Out" section

Sorry Kyle...but I have to agree with you....a shrimp...a beautiful shrimp...but still a shrimpy shrimp shrimpety shrimp!

Hey Kyle, I love your Explorer. It's a timeless classic and shows refined taste. That monster Hamilton strikes me as a look-at-me watch. It almost looks like a joke! I'm probably in the minority when it comes to giant watches...I just think they look silly.

Your Explorer is really nice and will still show your good taste when you're old and grey. Keep it forever and hand it down to your kids.

rustedmetal · 29 January 2010, 01:26 PM

I love the look.....but it's the size I just can't live with. I even bought a cheap Zeno Explorer just to see if I could get used to it. Couldn't and sold it on the bay.

Thanks for the kind words.

One day I do want to pass it down to my kids, maybe it'll get some patina.

Kyle only looks 10.

It might look small, but it packs a mighty punch since it was the watch used on the first Everest climb!

I like the Explorer Kyle

carlhaluss · 29 January 2010, 02:11 PM

As large as it is, I really like that Hamilton. But would take the Explorer any day! It seems to outshine just about anything.
Cheers,
Carl

If they made an Explorer in 40mm..........I would be all over it.

It looks great on you though Kyle!!

Boadicea · 30 January 2010, 12:24 AM

I love the size, it is perfect for every day use and I'm not exactly a small bloke. The thought of lugging around a large chunk of metal on my wrist doesnt do it for me. Kyle, make sure your brother doesnt take it swimming, he'll go straight to the bottom with that thing on...

G.J · 30 January 2010, 12:45 AM

That Explorer looks right at home on your wrist Kyle...

Mosco · 30 January 2010, 01:00 AM

Kyle,

I've seen that Hamilton somewhere

It looks AWESOME on that strap, dude! Your brother's got some class!

1000ftSub · 30 January 2010, 01:04 AM

Hmmm its not really that much bigger. Thats what she said!

I gave the strap to him Greg...

It looks good on his wrist, but it's still a bit big. But he loves it, so whatever makes him happy.

ersnyder · 30 January 2010, 02:48 AM

As usual, GREAT photos Kyle! Tell your brother to switch arms every now and then to avoid "over development."

I sure enjoy my Exp II.
