For me, since the last week end, and for the rest of the week, it is and will be my Rolex Explorer II 1655. Its big 24 hours orange hand and its unusual dial give me a lot of pleasure. A watch I didn't wear for a while but which is stuck on my wrist, now....
I saw it up close recently in a cousin's wrist. Lots of charm. He may offer it to me for sale. It's his dad's, and his dad is my godfather. Sadly he has moved on, a nice man. Best wishes Nico. 😅 Geross.
From the time IWC was making tasteful watches. Possibly my favorite IWC model, ever. I have lent it to my father, as he finds it so easy to read. I am over at my parents in Moselle this weekend, so I am using this occasion to put it back on the wrist. Bea...
39mm is easily the best size for my wrist, and this watch has great presence. Funny how they used a tritium / luminova mix for the hands and 12 o'clock indice, and luminova for the rest of the indices. You can see that the former have acquired a patina. ...
... vacation trip. Still can’t decide which watches to take with me! So I’ll show here three candidates (I will take two watches only) to wear in the next ten days. Great shots of your 1655 Nicolas!! My own one was one of my trip candidates! Hagwe dear Ni...
It came with an original 2-tone jubilee bracelet. 5 mil serial, from 1977/78. Between the 1675 and 16753 rootbeer, the rolex coronet on the dial is raised on the 1675 while that on the newer 16753 is printed. 😊 ...

few weeks due to my Dad’s heart attack. He is now doing fine and rehabbing quite nicely. I was out and about today and got a wrist shot in, Hope you all have had a good look at Nomos. Best, Tim ...
. . . and here's hoping for many healthy years to come. I'm spending the next few days with my Dad at his place - we'll be watching the playoffs together. We can never have enough time with our folks, can we? Best, Art
. . . when the Mk II first entered my collection a few years ago, it happened to be on my wrist during a particularly successful outing at our Wednesday 3-ball tournament. Well, it was on my wrist again this week . . . . . . with similarly good results. I...

Bought this new in Hong Kong in 1973; except when it’s been in for service I’ve been wearing it daily ever since. I haven’t really followed the market, but a more knowledgeable friend recently suggested it might be time to get a newer Sub for daily use. I...
are my love. I have tried those top of the line avant garde titanium regulators, the Scubapro and Atomic are exceptional and awesome, yet somehow I always fell the connection with my Black Pearl. The Tribute to Polaris 1965 gives me the same feeling.
