How can you beat a Sea Dweller for Christmas?

How about tossing in an Explorer to go with it? My lovely and wonderful wife decided to go all out this year, and I think she outdid herself. I am truly blessed and got way more than I deserved. Thanks to David Farkas on the near NIB SD, and one other very prominent member for helping her locate the freshly serviced Exp II. Great thanks to both you guys. I have coveted both these beauties for a long time, and I'm over the moon with each of them. It's a D Exp II and the SD was near the last of the run with tool kit and all. Pretty sweet package.

It doubled my very humble collection over night and now I'm well covered for Sea, Land, and Air.

Thanks Jason, Indeed it was, and the 16600 is more than I even hoped it would be. Fantastic reference, and I can see why so many are enamored with them.

Thanks all for your replies.

I'm thinking you should definitely stay married to her.

I'm amazed at how much larger the SD looks compared to the ExpIi
