zomgomfgrofl Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hello, I'm going to be honest. I absolutely adore how the explorer looks. it looks like a simple elegant watch, but it's so much more. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be in the budget for a gen anytime soon, so I've come to the community for help. I currently have an imperfect explorer; markings are okay, but lume is incorrect (3,6 and 9 glows in the dark) and the movement is a jerky 21j. Not to diss the 21j, it keeps time perfectly (+/- 20sec/day) with the crown down (??), but the 21600bph movement really doesn't sweep. I'm hesitant with swapping a 28800bph DG4813 from ofrei since the one I have keeps time properly, and many other fellow members have had problems with the needle clearances. So my question is, does anybody know a good dealer that sells a high beat explorer with the proper markings? I'd prefer models with the DG4813 because I have replacement parts, but I haven't seen any. I guess Asian 2836 clones would be good too... but so difficult to find! Progress so far: TrevorWatch has it with Asian 2836 clone but improper lume Time4Direct has it with proper lume but 21J Any ideas guys? Thanks.
