Haha I’m sorry! Sounds good to me!!

We have similar tastes though! I have a BLNR and an explorer and I’m currently trying to find which Speedmaster I’d like as there’s sooo many to choose from! So my soon to be trio will be very similar!

Congrats again!!

May I ask how the 39 mm Explorer wears compared to the Submariner?

Nice triple header.

There’s something ‘honest’ about the Speedy. You could be in an inverted spin and the Speedmaster will still let you read the time easily. The same can’t be said of some of my beloved Breitlings that supposedly tick every box for an aviator.

Congratulations on the line up.

Are you talking about the seconds hand in the complication? The reissue made a different hand to be a little different.

The explorer is a little thinner so people find them better for wearing underneath a sleeve. The explorer feels more sleek and wears a tad smaller than the sub (39 vs 40mm). The sub feels more rugged, and masculine. The black is darker on the sub, and the lumed numerals on the explorer is beautiful and love the details. Bracelet on the sub is also a tad thicker.
