Never started one of these before, and I can't see one started thus far, so I thought I'd kick it off with this:

No, I don't normally wear a leather jacket indoors :lol: But, it's a new week, a new month, so I figured why not feature the new jacket as well :lol:

Even though I haven't added one to my collection, the Explorer II sure is a gorgeous watch :wub::good:

Classic watch bro, looks weird not seeing a PAM on your wrist now :lol:

I'm going with this one today:

:lol: I would say it feels weird not to be wearing one, but it honestly doesn't. :o It's like a switch has been flipped, and my reaction to my PAMs is just : :mellow: ... No real idea to why... I think I'll hang onto them rather than sell them though, as, I wouldn't make enough cash from the sales to make it worth my while, and to be honest, even though I don't want to wear them right now, I still want them for my collection :)

That's a classy watch you're going with, bro. I've got an Armani knocking about somewhere, but it hasn't seen wrist time in years :lol:

I'll roll with biker TeeJay and fire up the PO as well. Except I'm representing the pajama set while he rocks the leather...

Thanks for the solidarity, bro :good: I've got a 42mm PO knocking about, but I killed the movement tinkering with it and swapped the hands out when I customized an Aqua Terra for my dad's birthday last year, so it's in need of some restoration work :lol: I've heard the 42mm POs aren't repped anymore, so I think what I'll do, is order a UPO to replace the one I'm wearing, then transplant the movement and dial from the one I'm wearing into the 42mm ^_^

When I first got the 42mm, it was because I was looking to get a 2254.50, but Casino Royale came out, and drew my attention to the Planet Ocean. I got it on SS, but decided to upgrade to the 45mm on rubber as per Casino Royale. Something of an irony that in Quantum of Solace, Bond is now wearing the original Planet Ocean I bought :lol: Thus, it's only right that I get my 42 back on it's feet as part of my 'Bond Collection' :)

Yeah, for sure get a UPO, but keep in mind the AR is the whole watch with the lume a close second. If you get a UPO on rubber make sure it gets a spa treatment with at the very least a trip to The Chief. With that the few flaws like logo feet, hands, etc won't even matter. A PO, gen or rep with dense double AR is just smokin'...

I'd definitely get it on rubber, but I have to admit, I probably wouldn't go with the double AR. I've seen too many examples of how the outer coating looks when it gets scuffed up, and I've heard of several gen owners removing the outer coat to reduce the problem ;) I've got to say, the Planet Ocean is one of my all-time favorite watch designs, and crazy as it might sound, the integrated crownguards is my favorite design aspect :good:

Out for an early dinner this evening and sporting the DJ again. As I gaze at it I realize I've had one DJ or another - gen, rep or both for probably 15 years now. And I never tire of them. I can only imagine how elated I'll be when I finally surrender to middle age and graduate to a DD. Then I'll be all grown up - or officially an old man. All I'll need then is to start wearing pink polos and get a golfers tan..LOL...
