Courageous - and the Sub had a different panache.
I wonder why they don't use white paint on the 24 hour numerals on the bezel to highlight and key off the lume plots...

How much does something like that cost? And how durable is it?

I like it. I get a ton of positive comments on my GMT PVD. The Explorer looks great.

How well does the PVD process work on the bracelet? Moving parts touching each other, you know. I see that Tudor and Omega have some PVD cases, but I've not seen PVD on a bracelet.

Don´t fancy it, but it is not my watch so it doesn´t matter to much. But - why aren´t the bezel numbers part of the modification. It makes no sense to have stealth bezel numbers on the Exp2.

Sunny- This EXPII and your TT SubC are both awesome looking and I love that they look different from other Rolex pieces....

I've seen a bunch of older bamford pieces -
The PVD / DLC does chip in time, but can easily Be reapplied. |

I think it looks fantastic. In fact, I don't love the black face exp2 typically.
Like this, I love it.
