Hello everyone! I bought an Explorer I 214270 last Dec 14. I liked the watch because of its nice appearance, simplicity, and comfort on the wrist. However, I cannot stop thinking about the Sub-C 116610LN, which I tried on the same day I bought the Explorer. With the wife's permission, I traded in my Explorer yesterday for the Sub of my dreams. What an awesome Christmas!

Thanks to all the enablers of this great forum. Happy Holidays!
