Only one unpleasant surprise over the years; that would be the RGM 222 which I was so prepared to like . . .
. . . but unable to bond with. Looking at it now, it still punches the right buttons; irl, underwhelming.
The main attraction was the rear view . . .
. . . but, compelling as it was, it couldn't make up for the 'meh' factor.
A movement does not a watch make.

"Watches that have surprised you" Wristscan starts now (2nd April)
This week's Wristscan is all about watches that have surprised you. Ever bought a watch thinking that you liked it, but it turns out you love it? Ever bought a watch thinking that it was the best purchase ever, only to find you sold it because it failed to live up to expectations? Ever buy a watch and find something you just didn't expect about it?

Yes, this week's theme is about SURPRISE in whatever form that takes your fancy.
Here is my surprise....surprised to see an Explorer dial on two different Submariners. Not often one sees that!
These two dials could be twins.

Not one but two ...
Watches fulfills your theme.
First is this simple Speedmaster "Melbourne". Don't know why but I keep wearing it.
Comfortable, reliable and accurate, despite several urban myths about the movement.
Second is this JLC. Big, bold and I like it.
I never imagine wearing a Navy Seal JLC but, is nice.
Cheers,
Nilo

Sorry Nilo, but that is not.....
A big Navy Seal.
This is!
See the difference...?

Agreed that there is a big difference. Though, the Alarm is not too hard to wear. [nt]

Agreed - that iteration of the classic Speedmaster . . .
. . . has attitude in spades.
2 nice choices !.. One more "conventional", the JLC MCompr Navy Seal
.. one of the (Navy Seal ?) iterations,
strong but still balanced character..

This one do surprise me...........
Each time I look at this "plain and simple" time only watch...
I see something new - very surprising!
Another surprising thing about this watch is that it made me change my wearing habits.....
Normally one watch/one day maximum per week.
This one have got more that its fair share since entering my watch box!

Getting more wrist time is certainly a good thing. Bravo, Blomman. [nt]

Yes and no.....
It is always good to find a watch you want to wear more, bad you don't get to wear many watches each week....
