Incoming - Explorer 2!
Got the Explorer 2 today, white dial, orange hand. What a fantastic watch!

Took some photos today (of watch, lume, and side-by-side with shorthand Exp1)















P.S. I do also want to mention, that I will be putting on a bright orange Rubber B strap (I think it matches the orange hand really well!).
I will post new photos once the strap arrives and gets swapped. :D

You will love it, I love mine. One thing I always heard about the E2 was that its bezel is easy to scratch up due to it being non-ceramic. I have daily worn mine for close to 15 months now and not one scratch on the bezel (knock on wood) and I have knocked into my fair share of stationary objects. I have a nice scratch on the crown-less side of the watch. But other than that - it is a great watch!

Definitely on my shortlist. I have got the same Explorer, short hands do not bother me at all.
