Re-discovering the Explorer

[Jedi]

I gave an Explorer 114270 to my dad last year in October. He's been wearing it daily ever since. It was my gift to him, knowing he like's 'em classic and handy, a man who appreciates his JLC Reverso Classique from way back when, a discontinued TT beauty. A man of contradictions has he has a solid 18K Zenith Daytona sitting in the safe.

Two days ago we decided to swap watches. He clipped on my Explorer II Blanc, and I his 114270. It's been fantastic. I love the compact nature of the piece. I missed the date a few times, but hey, it's been keeping good time, being a minute or so off since October and going strong.

I think I'll wear it for the week and see how it fares. Pics to follow.
