I had a vintage DJ on my mind for next purchase but the more I see the white Explorer II I'm leaning toward picking one up instead.

I purchased mine from DavidSW just obverse a month ago, and never once regretted it. Today I finally got around to installing the Nato strap. Here's the first look. Yea or nea?

Looks spot on! That bracelet isn't going to do your watch any favours though��

You are of course correct. The Explorer II is a true tool watch so it's not pampered like my Bluesy.

The cheap bracelet belonged to my deceased son-in-law. There's more sentimental value than anything else. I decided to put it on Mothers Day weekend when I added the first NATO strap "just because" and I've now taken it off. Yes, it left some light scratches just as you'd expect to see on a tool watch. Perfect! It's now properly broken in.

*I'm really enjoying changing the NATO straps!
