cdk847 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 For me, the white dial Explorer II has been somewhat of a "grail" watch. Seeing one on my friend's fathers wrist started my love for watches. Finances started my love for reps... =) As much as I loved this watch, I stayed away from reps of it. Largely die to the reports of the hour indices / hands being the wrong color. Well, one came up in Silix's "specials," and the pictures looked right. So, I e-mailed him, and he assured me that everything was indeed the color it should be. For the price, what did I have to lose? Well, my watch arrived today. And, I love it. The hands and indices are all a crisp black (the quick camera phone shots might not reflect this). The movement is surprisingly smooth for an a21j. I love it! Now, I know it is not perfect. The crown is wring, the bracelet has the longer clasp and divers extension, and the sticer on the back is a joke (that will be coming off shortly). But, for me, (and especially for $30), it is great.

Mercury Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The white Explorer is my grail watch as well, but the greyish hour markers made me go with the near flawless black dial. The 21J is a workhorse and always a great cheap choice. Very nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
