Please welcome

My new explorer,bought yesterday,couldn’t be happier.
So comfortable it’s not true.
Straight out the box I applied the easy link and fits like a glove full bracelet,guess I have big wrists.

A extra bracelet link is available from your AD if you have a large wrist. I have a eight inch wrist and with the extra link, I can keep the easy link in reserve. There are also three micro positions/adjustments, but I just keep my bracelet in the middle of the three.

Nice! I agree these are super comfy. I find that the easy link comes in handy when I wear the watch at night (I travel often and wear it 24/7). Enjoy!

It looks so clean and symmetrical without a date window on it. Explorers are great watches.
