Just discovered this thread. Have had my Explorer since 1964. I had a Glycene Airman (24 hour face) great pick up watch. Girls couldn't figure out what time the watch was showing. Well, was in the bar at the DaNang "O" club & a Marine pilot just had to have the watch. Sold it to him for $100. Next R&R to Hong Kong saw the just released Explorer & the rest is history. All the other pilots had the GMT's but I remember a young lady saying..."big watch, little dick". It's been my every day wearer all these years. Been to the doctors twice. Every thing that's been said is so true for the watch. My grandaughter wants it! says Granmaws gold Rolex is too much. She is only 8, wait a few years she will want them both.
