Hi from the UK
Hi all,

I'm looking forward to joining the discussions. I have a 1968 Oyster Perpetual from the late 60s and a Tudor from the late 50s. And I've gone through all the Explorer substitutes: the Zenos, Sandoz models, the Orient 'Explorer', and none have scratched the itch... So I'm fearing for my wallet, but happy to be here.

Welcome aboard. All the best for a real Explorer soon. It'll make you forget about all the substitutes.

Cheers,
