Nice . New watch DM ?

Yep and I would totally reccomend it as your last blow out watch TM. Love it. Took a gamble on the pvd version but it is much more legible than the steel look. Should see the full of my seiko divers an probably my g shocks

Looks good DM these are great little watches still miss mine when Neil posts it. I'm tempted to preorder a matte mark 2 diver but even with 15% they're still pricey

The Explorer isn't a Rolex that I've really paid much attention to, but I must say that looks fantastic Steve, like new

Out of interest is it 39/40mm?

I think from a previous post it's a 36mm the newer ones are 39mm. But it is a fantastic watch looks great now Steve

It's a shame the prices have gone up (that'll be the hipster/ instagram effect) but the flip side of this is they are Britain's oldest watch brand still in production and that is a 30 year old barely unchanged design that's seen many years of military use. I can only really think of two other watches that have stood the test of time like that and were ordered (proved themselves) for government contracts - the speedmaster and the submariner and the Cwc is now way more of a true tool diver than the sub these days. When you look at it like that It's worth every penny (or at least the mineral crystal version is) and it helps that these are very hard to take off once you put them on.

honestly dear, I don't know how it got there

I used to feel the same. Then I took the plunge. I've NEVER regretted it!

That is indeed the case, they really are a wonderful watch. Once I bought the first one I was hooked, I've never regretted any of mine.

Just arrived this morning...
