    I like them so much I wish I had one right now. I've got something that looks like it might be a Swiss Military "Explorer" clone though.
    Watches: Rolex Air King 114200; DOXA 1000T Project Aware (75/92); Hamilton Khaki Automatic; Seiko SKX013K1 Diver's 200M; Shearwater Research Predator; Suunto M5; Tissot PRS200; Generic Swiss Military; Jorg Gray 6500 "Obama Watch"

    "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons."

    -Douglas Adams

    Nice collection of explorers, Bob. But you're over your quota with 2 Rolex Explorers. You have to learn to share.

    I have never considered myself a fan of "explorer" watches as a category. With that said the Rolex EXP II white is one of my all time favorites.

    I like to eat, have a roof over my head, take vacations, send my kid to college, occasionally wear clothing..................I have diversified my collection of "explorers" to include those of a more, dare I say "democratic" price point! There are lot of well priced I & II looks out there in the watchworld! BTW what's the Timex??? I'm always looking to add to the collection.
    As an asides...I like this site, W.U.S., lot of fun, educational, most fun I have with my clothes on
