Genius 281 Posted October 28, 2015 My first brand new swiss made gen for nearly 10 years! I have been buying mostly second hand gens and reps with a few japanese watches thrown in for good measure but got a lovely new swiss made gen watch from a brand I would never have heard of if I wasn't a member here. In fact I kept seing photos of this very model on RWG and in then end I had to have it! Sold off a few reps for this and one of my favourites so i really hope this one is worth it! Just delivered this morning, unfortunately delivered to my parents house so I can't have it until next week but my sister has kindly taken a few photos for me.... She even did them as an unboxing (I didn't ask her to) which is a nice touch and lets me tease you a bit.. Will take some more photos when I actually have the watch in my hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xpletiv 16 Posted October 28, 2015 I just, well, usually, now except this one, skip some posts until a day or two later to just cut to the chase. I ain't got time for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robin195959 2 Posted October 28, 2015 Love it. It reminds of the Glycine. Real rugged tool look that also says quality and expensive to the casual viewer. Wear it often and enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 28, 2015 I was really happy with my noob explorer 2 and used to wear it all the time but when I saw this it takes everything I liked about the old steve mcqueen version with the larger size of the modern explorer 2. I hope I'm not going to regret selling the Exp2 to buy this one but hoping it will be a keeper! Will know next week once I actually have it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted October 28, 2015 Congrats! I'm wearing mine today. Hope the QC is OK for you. At first glance, looks like the bezel is aligned, so a good sign so far. I've purchased two of these and both had major assembly problems needing multiple return trips to Germany on their dime. It's a fantastic watch when put together properly. Enjoy! Mine says hi.

Genius 281 Posted October 28, 2015 Can't wait to finally get it on my wrist, bezel and 24H hand look ok from the pictures so hopefully its good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted October 28, 2015 I looked at the same watch a couple of weeks ago, now I have to buy it. Yeah will my view was it was a swiss made gen with a proper brand new ETA movement for the same money as a decent rep, seemed like a no brainer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
