Good news is by the time he finishes writing that thesis, he will be logged off automatically again.

Good point except none of them count because they're all fakes

Rto · 14 April 2006, 02:28 PM

JJ, What is (or was) the most confortable one in terms of wearing? I'm reffering to confortable, not the most beatifull or anything else...think about fitting and sitting on the wrist...bracellet type and/or weight matters

Good question, Renato. Actually, I found the Exp-II and the current TT YM extremely comfortable.

Of course, while the Exp-II weighed in at 126 grams, the TT YM is 20 grams heavier at 146. So the Exp-II was a wee bit more comfy.

As for flat "S"....just two....my current 16610 as you've already seen...and my former TT Blue Sub.

Thanks for the info!

And in terms of bracellet type? Does the Exp -II has the same of the Sub or YM?

The Exp-II, GMT-II and YM have the same OYSTERLOCK bracelet with the short clasp, i.e. no extension diver links (see pic below)...

And the Sub is fitted with the OYSTER FLIPLOCK bracelet with extension links for divers who wish to wear the watch over a thick diving suit...
