The Genius of Chip...take your pick!!

WOW! That Chip is pure genius when it comes to conjuring up his photoshop magic stuff. Here are both versions of the TT Exp-II and I think both look truly fantastic.

LOL! No, I don't think I'd like to see the famous SD in anything else besides SS.

OK, I'll give you that the white face is better than the black face, but I still stand by my earlier statement that SS is the best for sport watches, including the EXP.

Take my pick? OK...I'll take the 2nd one before Chip molested it.

Good work Chip, but gold on an Explorer II is

Very true, Sam....Rollies like the Exp-II, GMT-II and the SD look best in SS; but it was fun having Chip perform some of his photoshop magic!!

i have to disagree guys.. i think that after chip changed John Holbrooks great white exp II pic to a TT version.. i would go out and buy that watch were it commercially available at a drop of a hat.. i really like the white dialled TT exp II.

I'm not a big yellow gold guy to say the least. That TT Exp does nothing for me except make my stomach churn. Honestly the best looking TT I have seen is that YM of yours JJ....I know you'll LOVE to hear that.

I like a sports watch to be rugged, and SS is the right match for that. If I were to buy a fancy schmancy dress watch that wasn't SS, it'd be platinum.

It is interesting to see Chip's renditions of watches Rolex doesn't make though. Keep em coming Chip!

I'll go with the majority vote here - great work by Chip, but TT on an Exp II is just so wrong.

Don't do it, Chip. Please!!! It's bad enough we have to look at the Pumpkin and JJ's TT YM on every thread here. Don't photoshop the Seamaster. Puulleeezzz!!

Good point JJ, now that I have taken a long second look, I don't apologize anymore for voting neither.

Just does not look right to me.
