That's right....wound up Bluesy this morning and slapped him onto my wrist.

Expy wasn't too happy about that and is now all in a furore and a twist!!

Oh well....can only wear one baby at a time, uh??!!

Back into his box goes Expy!!

Well, those old photos we've seen a thousand times are not proof enough, JJ!

We'd like a photo of your Bluesy on the background of today's newspaper or a digital photo that is dated

Well, right now I don't even have a camera, Bo. The few I've shot of the Exp-II were with a friend's borrowed camera and the results were not really to my satisfaction.

The Sub pics were taken with a Panasonic Lumix and a Leica lens. The camera belonged to the museum where I worked previously.

Don't worry, I stilll have Bluesy in my custody. No intentions of parting with him!!

I completely agree with you. You have to wrists thus you can wear two watches and have to different time zones on them like maradona. Allthough i think that maradona would feel better if he would buy a gmt as you can have different time zones.It 's up to you JJ

Actually, if wearing the Explorer II on his one wrist and the TT Sub on the other, JJ'd be able to tell THREE times zones!

JJ, Did the camera look like this one? If it did, you need to give me some lessons. My pics don't come out looking as good as yours

Prince · 3 July 2007, 08:58 PM

Well, it's about damn time!!!

C.J. · 3 July 2007, 09:01 PM

JJ, are you're arms getting hairier? It's looks like it's time for another shearing, buddy

nko51 · 3 July 2007, 09:50 PM

Flip expy! Flip expy! Flip it now! In order to be true blue, expy must go to! cheers:

JJ, do you have a winder? Just curious.

fire-ballz · 4 July 2007, 02:44 AM

JJ, I admire your bluesy....I feel like I should get one

No, I don't. Why would you need a winder with just being a 2-watch man?

No, Bill...certainly not as high-tech as that baby. It was the much simpler 5 mp version, but I guess it served the purpose.

Hello there JJ.

Great photos, but I cannot help noticing that the Rolex crown on the winder is wonky - just like the one on mine. Dont you think that Rolex should have gone the extra mile and tapped the thread so that the crown logo is vertical - 90 degrees to the case (if you catch my drift !) ? It does bug me when I think about it as I had an Omega Seamaster once and that did.

Hmmm.

vh_bu98 · 4 July 2007, 07:55 AM

Just wear one on each wrist and neither would get jealous.

Hi Martin,

If you went through a hundred Rollies, you'd be lucky to find two or three with straight UP crowns!!

martinbown · 4 July 2007, 09:01 PM

Crikey !

I am surprised that they find this acceptable, but at least mine isn't a test one that a trainee made then !
