Sub + Disney

Then save/wait for the Exp II

If your bonus is better than expected then that's, well, a bonus...

A friends dad took us all to Disney when he really wanted to buy a car and boy did he like to remind us of that fact for the rest of our lives even in jest, so if you give up the DSSD put it to bed asap and never think of it again as your kids will know.

Logic speaks and Sam is a wise man. Not only that, but your heart is telling you no to the DS even if the trip weren't part of the picture. Get the Sub or Explorer. You will be happier in the long run, I can tell by your hesitation.

Sub IMHO....DSSD isn't really a daily-wearer for me...although I do love it on the weekends.

I'd be deciding b/t the SubC and Exp 42 white before going after a DSSD. Good luck and I hope that bonus payout is bigger than your expecting.

Thanks I'm down to Expy II 42 polar and the subc. It may come down to the glide lock for me now. Plus the sub was my grail for MANY years until I finally got it and had to sell to pay bills a couple years back. I think my heart tells me sub, but the side of me that likes to be a little different says explorer. The explorer looks fantastic in the case, but just hasn't sang to me he few times I tried it on. The submariner always feels like " home" . I think I may have just made my decision.

Can't go wrong with those.
Would be nice if you can try them all on at the same place (including boith white & black versions of explorer)
The explorer case is exceptional imho.

Ps the glidelock is nice but unless you'll b e diving, its just an extra something that can fail for no reason.
The explorer comes with a very useful & robust EZ link, perfect for the 2 poition routine adjustment in real world use.
