By-Tor Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 ...that I want another black Explorer II. White Polar Explorer is the version, but more I think about, more I'd love to add a black one (similar as Stephane's gen) to my collection. My "whitey" needs some company. The "Noob" version is extremely accurate, and can be sourced by bklm1234 and Eurotimez. I just love the ExpII... such a beauty! I actually miss my black ExpII.

LordRasta Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Mark this date down my friends. It is not often BT wants to get a watch. He is very picky and rightfully so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I agree with you that the white XII is THE color to have, but since you already have that, I guess there is only 1 way to go (black). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I had the Black one for a short period and was surprised how much I liked it so I hear you BT.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I've been going back and forth on this model, and have come to the conclusion that the only way I'd be happy with one is if I broke down and bought the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I can't make my mind up. I see pics of your white one, and Laz's gen, and love it. Now you have posted the black version, and because it's fresh in my mind, I now prefer the black. It is the one watch I really wouldn't be able to choose a dial colour for! As soon as I see the white version again, Il prefer that haha. Beautiful shot btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornma Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Personally I am waiting to order the Vintage Explorer 2 (The Steve Mcqueen one) I'm not sure why but I prefer the straight lines and yellow markers over the triangles. That will be a future purchase also from eurotimez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Eurotimez has the Noob version. Brilliant (save the thick GMT hand and oversized crown). SELs aren't as good as on my older Noob version, either. But definitely possible to mod really close (if you can live with the WHS). This is a great rep... the good thing about black version is that you don't have the problem with those dial markers (grey on the white rep). I'm between this one and the WM9 Sub. Decisions, decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 i just got the white version recently from eurotimez. chris suggested to get a gen dial to deal with the noob flaws. i doubt too many 'civilians' will spot the gray markers.
