Incoming Explorer
I was very happy to get a surprise text from my AD at the weekend to say they have an Explorer for me. Absolutely delighted with it. Just a classic. This will be my daily for quite a while I think!

I have a 7 inch wrist but these were just quick smartphone shots with a wide angle lens so it exaggerates the size somewhat. Here are some other shots of 36mm watches on my wrist for comparison.

Thanks, I have a 6.75 inch wrist and I think I have decided the 124270 may suit me better than my 214270 MK2. Your pictures are definitely swaying me that way.

Safe choice - not every man can pull off a larger watch.

Beautiful watch! I'm hoping this is my next one, just haven't heard much from my AD lately. My request was for the Explorer 36 or OP 36 in green, we must have similar tastes.
