Much like a good conversation over a good cup of coffee. Great to see you now have a match for your wife's lovely 1016. Enjoy it hermano, and my compliments to the gentleman Purist who helped you with the aquisition. Abrazo, Alex

It is a long love story between the Explo I and me, Alex.

I bought my wife's Explo 1016 in 2004. Since this moment, I know that I have to get one. I always had an eye on them, since I found this one. Charming, this is the correct word, Hemrano. Thanks a lot! Best, Nicolas

Great due...
