Oh dear! Well done for wearing it for what it was intended for and you have a good story to tell now.

Indeed...Land Cruiser, Kenya, Explorer...a much better tale than, "damn, I slipped and fell in the Costco parking lot and smacked the watch on the asphalt."

Thanks Lew Archer. Perhaps I would've cared more if it happened at Costco. We were having so much fun that the watch didn't even matter

HI all, so after a week on my wrist during the days, the watch is running about +15 seconds than real time.

yesterday i've pulled the crown to re calibrate the seconds and today's reading is +5 seconds.

I measure time through my iPhone little icon (cellular clock)

I can also say that my new 226570 is keeping perfect time 5 months already.

The watch is 214270 explorer, dated May 2020 - never been serviced, was in use since purchase.

What would you suggest me to do?

I tried to put the watch on the side for the night to slow him - didn't work.

Gorgeous shot of a beautiful watch.

The only reference from the explorer family that grab my attention. Wish they make it bigger.

Back in LA…. Having the explorer on wrist for a week and a half straight was fantastic.
