Incoming!
Afternoon All,

I bought an Explorer II about a year ago, and the bug had come back with vengeance - and I just couldn't decide what my next purchase was. I went to an AD near me, whom I had a relationship with and tried on about 15 different models.

The only one that had sung to me was the Yachmaster, in blue and red - and I really liked it. That said, my wife.... did not. So, I asked the AD if he had a Submariner 11610LV - and he did, but it was already purchased. He was kind enough to let me try it on, and the rest was history.

Unfortunately, since his was already sold - I went online as soon as I got home, went to DavidSW - and purchased it at a 15% discount!

Most importantly, I will give this watch to my son when the time is right - Rory was born on 3/7 and this will match his Irish background perfectly!

Thanks all for the advice and help along the way!
