It's my 40th in January and am treating myself! I was looking at an AK but the bigger size is so much nicer!

I would agree, Ady.
The 36mm is the perfect size for my scrawny 6,5" wrists.
Have you looked at the Explorer too? I`m a bit torn between the two. The Explorer got all the history and whatnot, but I really like the chunkier case and nice dials that the new OP has.

Hi Ady,

I bought a 116000 about 10 months ago with a dark blue face and Arabic numerals. Great watch but after a few weeks I decided that the blue face almost always looked dull, so I had the face changed for a black background but with white not those aweful pink luminous markers.

What I have is an updated Explorer 1 looking watch but smarter, less sporty - its really great. I will try to post some pics soon but me and cameras have never been good together.
