As some of you guys might have known from my previous thread that I was shopping for a Double Red or Milsub for the past 2 weeks. Due to some personal reasons on the seller side, till date, everything is still in limbo.

Sigh...

So, while I was shopping and meeting collectors around, I stumbled upon these... Well, it's the season to be sharing so, here we go.

An Ivory / Creamy Dial Explorer 2. I guess it was too bright that day, I wasn't able to capture the actual tone of the dial. It's much creamier than what the pic shown. The same applies to the 16520.

I wonder if they did something to the dial...

My white dial U16523G is still as white as day 1....

Lastly, the GMT2 SARU. Man... what a watch!!!!! I'm so tempted to just get this and the Daytona Safari and get it over and done with and forget about the Milsub or the Double Red.....

I hope you guys enjoy the pics as much as I had when I was taking them and trying them out. Pardon my ranting... I've yet slept for over 24hrs, watched an incredible Chinese Movie and somehow, I feel talkative...

Peace Out!!

Really glad you enjoyed them!

I was never a big fan of white dial watches my entire life.

My first was a 16520 I purchased pre-owned in 2001 and sold shortly.

Exp2 was never considered by me all these years, not even the black dial.

It was when I was shopping for a 16523G, then, did I realize how nice a white dial can be. But I guess it's also because of the gold chrono counter rings and the diamonds.

Now I pay more attention to aged white dials.... I can feel the poison...
