Late Incoming! The “TRF’s Explorer”!

Just bought this newer version 214270 and really enjoying it for some time now! This newer version is much more appealing to me than the older one. I much prefer the luminous numerals and the bigger hands.

But why did a named my Explorer the “TRF’s Explorer”?

Because this is the very same watch that DavidSW gave away in 2016, the year it was released in Baselworld. The lucky winner was my dear friend and fellow member Kauebm, who latter sold it to another dear friend and TRF member Jfestrelabr who sold it to me!

Some pics:

Sick watch. I have the mk1 but must admit I do prefer the mk2. Not that I don’t love mine of course :)

Did the Mk2 conversion on my Mk1 and have zero regrets. Superb watch in every regard.
