404: Initially I wasn’t really “feeling” the taper on the bracelet. But now I’m okay with it. The taper makes sense, it’s elegant and makes the watch well balanced.

Awesome, looks amazing!

Yeah I know what you mean, at first I thought it seemed a little dainty and a bit feminine...

But the whole watch has grown on me and I love it!

To unconvinced to in love in a few hours is crazy actually.

Congrats James , good looking watch, and doggies :) !

Nice watch, congrats.

Wonderful watch. I absolutely love the Explorer I and think it looks so clean and classic! Wear it in good health.

Have you begun tracking your watch's accuracy? Mine is holding at +0.28 seconds per day...it's amazingly steady.

|404| · 21 September 2018, 06:35 AM

I have, mine is not quite as good but still great. Since I bought it, it is averaging at +1.15s a day. I'm going to leave it crown side up tonight and see if I can lose a second or two, that way I know every few days to put it crown side up to self regulate it to nearer perfection!

But sounds like you got a unicorn version Thines! Congrats man! :)

That is a beauty, congratulations on your new addition.

404, have you considered engraving yours? I’m seriously thinking about laser engraving mines.

Congrats! Looks great on you.

No because it would make it harder to sell, if I ever fell on times where I had to. Or lets say I wish to fund a new purchase down the line. I can't see that happening in either circumstances... but you never know what the future entails.
