Those are some great recent additions! I think an Explorer or Explorer II is in your future.

Very nice. Sometimes I wish I had a 79160 instead of my 79180. I really like the panda dial with the black bezel.

I used to have the 79180 too bro. It is a different animal and is also a great piece. But like you, I feel that there is something a little nicer abput having the bakelight bezel. :)
