Well done to the OP.

Yes, lots of unusual and playful dials released that are mostly aimed at women, surprised the Exp got roped into this play but in the absence of any new models most years, I suspect every year something will have to be sacrificed to the commerical altar.

It is certainly the only watch in my collection that I never take off. Skiing, surfing, hiking, biking, etc.

Does the new two tone 36 Explorer make the new stainless 36 Explorer less of a tool watch? What makes the 214270 more of a tool watch than the 124270?
