Well said, you'll just keep thinking about it until (one day) you finally pull the trigger.

Totally aftermarket but different ha ha.

You could do that with your Explorer II.
And give the blue DJ to your wife.

Or wear the ExpII as is, wife wears the DJ as is, then in a month or two, if you really want the BLNR, go for it, and if the DJ needs a diamond bezel, do that as well.

A little more time to sort out what you really want and how to accomplish that can't hurt.
Sometimes the urge to get something else passes and you realize what you already have is what you really want/need.
But if not, then make the change.

Yeah. My wife is huge into the thin blue line due to police so if I added this to the bezzel it would make the watch almost a thin blue line watch. And yes I know blasphemy as it is Aftermarket lol.

You are absolutely right. But the more and more I am looking I think I am drawn more to the blue and black. If I could get my numbers on the explorer ii turned to blue or even have the pvd qrstuv or whatever it is called done to it. I know I would be more than satisfied now.

Hence the reason when I got the DJ it had a blue face lol.

First of all, watchwatcher.... GO KENTUCKY. I may be in the area. I agree with the settling thing... but like I said, I don't think its settling. I love the look of the Explorer ii, that is why I bought it almost immediately after the DJ. I just think I need some blue added to it. Then I would not be settling.

That is what I have decided as of 2038hrs East Coast time lol...... It may change in an hour.

Just purchased a 2ct black diamond bezel for the DateJust. I'll probably throw it in a nice wood watch box and surprise the wife next time we go out to dinner. I'll post pictures soon as I pop the old bezel and put the aftermarket on.
