Got the new 2011 Black Explorer ii today

Got it from the same ad that sold me the first sub c in North America last year.

All I can say is it's GIGANTIC.

It's almost 2am so will have to wait till morning for wrist shot.

Looks great. Lovin' it.

........oh hell, Here's one pic right now :-)

Hmmmmmm... thats a cracker of watch mate!!! very cool!! not too in your face as many have mentioned.

They make that. It's called a GMT. But the wonderful watch he has serves its own horological place.

I think the older Explorer II always looked better in white, but this new model, the black is far superior. Awesome choice. Great photo.
