Pros, Cons, Facts, Opinions on New Air King 116900 vs Explorer 214270

[heisse]

For me, the 116900 is a pure success. The dial, typography, choice of green and yellow ... I love. Moreover, I find it meets a need and is a rare toolwatch today.
That said, I find that the double casing (the magnetic resistance is useful in Cockpit, I agree) is massive in weight and thickness.
Otherwise I love the crown cut into the buckle (instead of the welded ...) so much more qualitative.

As for 214270 MK2, I find it absolutely perfect so I will not be objective.

Do not make the economy of trying and reflection, it is you who will wear the watch, not us

What I can't understand is that I assume the designed had mocked up the photoshopped piece above and the one with the WG 3-6-9 and they choose the WG 3-6-9 to produce. To me it is a slam dunk, the photoshopped watch looks great.

Explorer 214270 hands down.

Ouch. Bad pun.

Nevertheless, Explorer 214270...
