GMT, tough as old boots, sapphire bezel will withstand boat trips (as will the protected movement), doesn't stand out to criminals, rubber strap, works remarkably well in a more formal atmosphere, and is a great "one" watch for holiday.

However...... I am crap at these guessing games and have never got one right yet, so you will probably take the Explorer!

Spot on with Terra Nova - it seems ideal. :)

Fair comment Graham - although I think the BB gets its fair share of use. The only downside to taking it to a hot place is the lack of adjustment in the bracelet - which is where the Exp scores highly.

You could use the black canvas it came with. :thumbup:

Thanks for explanation, I don't use Tapatalk. So I wasn't aware of this

No probs. It confused the hell out of me at first, because everyone we talking about the polls and voting and I could not for the life of me work out what the hell they were talking about!!!! :)
