Incoming Explorer 36mm 124270







I love the 36mm size with the tapered bracelet. It feels like a "modern vintage" on the wrist.

Huge congrats, looks great. The 'coolness factor' of this watch is off the charts. Enjoy it thoroughly!

Congratulations. Having picked mine up last Friday it is the perfect daily for unassuming and understated wearability. Incredibly comfortable and legible, it feels solid as a rock too, very well engineered.

Very interested in your wrist size as well. Based on these pics, it sure wears well on what appears to be at least a 7in wrist.

My wrist is about 7.5-7.75 and does fluctuate a little on a daily basis. It fits perfectly with no links removed and the micro adjust in the middle holes.
