Thank you Daren. I would say you wouldn't believe it, but you do know...the simple act of setting up the tripod and taking pics hurt like hell!

Nice shots, Bruce. I love the gentle curve of the Explorer case at the lugs... it's such a nice touch of elegance on such a tough watch. The Explorer's amazing quality is that it appears to be such a simple watch, but the more you look at it the more really nice little details you see... elegant understatement defined.

And accurate? Second ONLY to my Oysterquartz for accuracy. BTW, the OQ is now at +1... in 2 months. Woah.

Thanks guys! Micah, one of the first things I noticed, after an hour or so, was the curve of the case. It's smoother than any Rolex I've owned. You're right, the longer you wear the watch the more special things you notice :)

Cheers,
Bruce
