TeeJay Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm liking the mid date-change shot Thanks, it was purely coincidental, not planned Sounds like a winner for a daily beater. Or a camping watch...?? Sadly, quite the reverse. Sure, the hands are incredibly easy to see, but the markers on the dial (not the cardinals, but all the others) just tend to blend into one, making the time an effort to read, so by comparison, the Sub is by far the better watch for daily wear or camping, simply due to better legibility. This watch is just such a mixed bag for me... I bought it as a birthday gift to myself, and performed a modification to it which, as an artist, I am extremely proud of, and boosted my confidence immeasurably, yet I just can't seem to 'get comfortable' with it... It's an iconic watch, for sure, and the dial layout is a true vintage testament to the era, with that 2001:Space Odyssey aesthetic, but, I can totally understand why Rolex started using Sub-style markers on the Explorer II (which should really be the Explorer III ) I'll try and keep it on for the day, if for no other reason than to monitor the time keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 No, it's no good, I can't keep the thing on my wrist, I guess the 1655 just wasn't meant for me... Grove Street OG rolling through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Got hold of my panda-on-Panda earlier today, on nothings less than a Dirk's & beating very strongly on a beautifully finished & fully-overhauled Tudor 7753 engine...
