The blue really pops under the sun. Beautiful pics. I love that watch, unfortunately my puny six and a half inch wrists could not carry that watch.

Now that we are officially unpacked, the PO got treated to an ultrasonic bracelet bath and a good cleaning after all it's hard work in the water/sand.

When were you there? I just finished a cruise and went diving in Antigua on May 17th! It was beautiful. My Polar Explorer II saw the most wrist time (even diving), but I did have my PO with me. That one is a beauty!

I was there May 11-18. We are already planning another trip as this one went by too quick.

Bought the same watch a few weeks back. Modified it a bit buy swapping out the steel bracelet for the 21mm blue rubber from the GMT model, just wanted to make it a bit more casual during the summer months. I do miss the micro adj from the steel though.

This actually replaced my Rolex sub, and its a far better timepiece. Accuracy after 3 weeks is FAR better than the sub. This PO and my GSOTM, I don't think I am every going back to Rolex.

I might have to check into that strap as well. It looks great!

Sorry all to hijack this thread and revive it from the dead, but Josh your PM account says you’re over your limit and can’t receive PMs. Trying to PM you. Send your cell and we can text moving forward

Mines got the blue dial too but different bezel. I agree, the PO (to me) is nice than the Submariner.
