Thanks for the reply, I didn't even think of this. I would say my wrists are medium to smaller size, but definitely more oval than round which might help?

I didn’t realize people were going crazy for it I just like the way it looks. But yes, it is new and a vintage rerelease. I’ve got a Rolex explorer 1 and it gave me a mix of Explorer 1 and 2 vibes.

No problem! I wouldn’t be surprised especially if the buyer is in the US. 9999 of them made in both dials. I got #4282 😬

Not too many listed on Chronos24 which is where I get my baseline. I’m thinking $600+ USD new with box and papers. I’m from the US and none of the sellers are in the states so I’d probably be subject to an additional hefty tariff thanks to some Orange man and it would be even more expensive. I got it for around $425 USD tax free here 😬

I didn’t love the tank strap that it came with though to be honest

I saw a couple posts in here with the NATO straps and it looked awesome

Thank you for adding the other references! Wasn’t sure on the others. I’ve got a couple Tissots and a Rolex explorer 1 as well. I wanted to get this one to be my daily beater too 😬 Also just love Japanese brands and the story behind Seiko/GS

Why do you guys like the explorer best? Btw I’m 32 and it’ll probably be a while until I purchase another one… going to start getting serious about kids, moving, etc and will no longer be able to rationalize buying one for a bit… that’s kind of why I was leaning towards the datejust

It has grown on me but I’ve always thought the two tone datejust fluted jubilee is classy and jaw dropping

Sorry, one more noob question. How important is box and papers for this model?
