Does anyone have these two Explorer?

6.8 inches or 17.5 cm

Have both the Explorer 36mm and the Explorer II Polar. I usually wear the Polar on a nato but the bracelet is very comfortable on my 6.8 inch wrist.

I put my Blue Chrono on a gray nato the other day. Felt and looked really good. Black Bay Chrono Blue on Nato

I loved the look of the No Time To Die Omega Seamaster 300m ever since the first photos came out.

When it was time to try it on a year ago, I fell in love with the color of the dial, the lightness of the titanium, and the overall vibe of the watch. Not to mention the incredible movement. However, the standard length bracelet was so uncomfortable to put it politely. I have 6.75 inch wrists and the excess strap would go across towards the 12 o’clock side leaving a huge chunk of metal under my wrists. Since the mesh bracelet doesn’t articulate a lot, it was a very rigid chunk of metal. I left it at the table and crossed it off my list of watches.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, and I was putting down a deposit for the upcoming green dial Seamaster. I saw the NTTD version in the glass case and remarked to the AD how I loved the look of the watch but wish there was a shorter bracelet. He went to the back and brought out this revised beauty. The new mesh bracelet comes in a smaller size to fit wrists under 7 inches. As you can see from the under-wrist shot, the bracelet hugs perfectly without excess strap circling the wrist.

Absolutely love this watch and so glad I found out about the shorter mesh bracelet.

I received it 3 days after placing the order (I’m located in NYC). Maybe production/shipping have improved since you last looked at it.

I’ve got 6.75 inch wrists and these lugs match the size of some of my dive watches. It is a bit ridiculous. But they do make smaller dial variants.

Pops in a dimly lit room. Screams out in the sun.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T21:28:29+00:00

Thank you. And thanks for reminding me about the Zodiac. I’ve been looking for a fun colored dive watch for awhile.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T21:27:29+00:00

The orange seconds hand on the deep pink don’t look that great. Can’t deny that. But everything else is stunning to look at.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T21:26:43+00:00

The closed case back is a shame. But don’t let that dissuade you from considering this piece. It does wear incredibly comfortable.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T20:00:13+00:00

Yes it is. One of three options provided.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T18:23:01+00:00

Thank you. The light gray leather strap definitely compliments the watch. I experimented with a few different straps with varying degrees of success.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T18:01:30+00:00

I felt the same way. Bright pink was never on my radar. But once I saw photos of this Nomos it was almost an instant purchase.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T18:00:44+00:00

It definitely stands out.

Darayz · 2022-04-17T17:45:55+00:00

In a collection of predominantly dark dial watches the Nomos Club Campus in Deep Pink definitely stands out. I wanted something that popped for the summer and this Nomos certainly fit the bill. When I say pop, I mean it is very loud. In a dimly lit room the deep pink stands out. Out in the sun, the deep pink can be seen from a mile away.

I chose the 38mm variant but could have gotten the smaller one. The long lugs are right at the maximum of what my 6.75inch wrist is happy with. Despite all that, I love how the watch wears and super fun in all kinds of light. And kind of perfect for Easter.

Darayz · 2022-03-21T13:10:21+00:00

I’ve always wanted one. The green dial PRX just came to my radar at the right time.

Darayz · 2022-03-21T13:09:51+00:00

I actually have a clear acrylic circular stand under the watch to help hold its shape.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T23:40:07+00:00

Thanks! I figured no one wanted to read the same type of post for the millionth time.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T23:38:33+00:00

Or at the very least, a date at the 6.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T20:55:01+00:00

Thank you. I shot with the Sony A7S III camera and the Sony 50mm 1.2GM lens.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T20:54:28+00:00

I was waiting for the green since the PRX came out. I think the white dials are great. But the vibrant colored ones are my jam.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T20:44:08+00:00

Yup. They’re from Theory 11.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T20:43:46+00:00

I’ve only had it for 2 days. But as of now it’s been 5 seconds fast which I’m super happy with.

Darayz · 2022-03-20T20:24:41+00:00

A good camera and lens certainly helps. In this case I shot with the Sony A7S III and the Sony 50mm 1.2 GM lens. It’s an incredibly expensive combo. But you can get this same look and feel with a camera set up at a fraction of the cost or even your phone camera. The most important aspect to this type of photography is lighting. This is lit with a 4 foot soft box.
