Incoming!

So a few months ago I got the itch again. I was debating between the Explorer I and the Air King. I reached out to my local AD who let me try on an Explorer he had in stock. I initially liked it but still wanted to see an Air King in person before making my decision. Fast forward a few months and the Air King came in. Low and behold I wasn’t crazy about it and asked him to let me know when the next Explorer I came in. Monday I got the call and today I picked it up, what a beautiful classic piece I love how light it feels compared to my other watches. He even threw in a Rolex hat for good measure!

Highly recommend it, it’s such a classic piece and a perfect mix between a dress watch and a sports watch IMO.

Congrats on your Explorer. I've owned mine since April and the excitement of putting it on is still as strong as day 1.
