Awesome choice!

Too many of us fail to consider visibility when selecting dials.

Damn! Congrats. More pics please! Wear it in good health! I'm about to flip my 114300 Rhodium and just use funds for a HULK. The dark lighting issues with the markers was also one of the things that upset me.

Thanks man. Here’s another pic. Are you gonna keep your BLNR? That and the hulk would be such a desirable duo

Beautiful watch. Would you mind confirming what type of lume it has? I’ve heard that it has been updated to the new blue chromalight. Is this the case?

Beautiful, did you side by side compare this in person with the Aqua Terra?

Not side by side, but I owned the horizontal dial aqua terra in black 41mm, and I liked it, but it isn’t on the level of the OP. I sold it before I got the OP because the look was too similar for me to own both.

Very nice, great dial, the best in the OP lineup. An Explorer 214270 with sticks instead of 3-6-9. I’d wear it any day. Enjoy

Other than a few technical details, why would one not choose the 39mm Explorer over this? the both look almost identical with the black, and the Explorer seems so much "more" (fuller) of a piece in my opinion...

~ nice watch though...
