Now we know why the Explorer I hands are so small...They needed to save up the metal for the Explorer II hands!
Overall I really like this design. I like the new fat hands...they're bold and match the bulky, purposeful proportions of the watch nicely. As before I generally prefer the black dial version, but I think they've made a small mistake with the "phantom" (geez what a fanciful name!) hands. It gets in the way of the overall "form-follows-function" vibe concept that holds the design together so nicely. So for the reason, maybe I prefer the white-dial. But my preference would be for the black dial with the white hands.
I'd also like to see "Explorer" on the dial not in orange...but whatever.
Overall...real nice.
