Incoming!!! The Brothers Explorer.

Picked up this (top photo) last week and now the brothers are reunited! Redundant only by name; both are beauties with different personalities and very different offerings.
I am completely satisfied. My watch-searching days are over! (yeah, right.)

That's a good point! How chauvinistic of me.

Congratulations. I think the black dial Explorer II is sometimes overlooked and it is a great watch.

Hmmm. A white one will give you "triplets". All Explorer bases covered.

Very very nice pieces. I have the Exp II polar, strongly considering the Exp 1 214270 - I love the simplicity of the Explorer 1.
I totally get why you acquired these pieces and why you wish to add the white dial. The Explorer family is some of the best in the line up. Well done and enjoy!
