    Sir Miles, you must learn that you can't ruin anything with a Lederhosen ;)

    RE: bezel

    I also recently got my hands on a new version Explorer II (whilst away on my recent trip) and was surprised how much I actually used / referred to the Orange hand / bezel to check other time zones (home). Def my travel watch!!!

    Would love a vintage version like ^^^^

    Hi Welshboy, when im laying on me sunlounger looking up at the caribean sky
    i look at my bezel and think oh its XXXX time in Canary wharf ha ha
    waiter another mojito :))

    :) sounds like my idea of relaxation instead of Disney Parks lol

    I did recently take my Explorer to Florida but my white legs might blind you.
    This was in London, in fact I skyped the office back home just before or after this pic (4 hours behind as shown by the Orange hand!)

    Can't go wrong with any of them unless you ruin an EXP II with a white dial - or even worse buy a green Sub :D

    I knew that was coming :))

    This one is the latest green version mate, I believe Bondtoys has the discontinued lighter green / black dial "anniversary" version!

    Yeah lego downtown Disney - bought a lot of Barbie lego there :( unfortunately I was not allowed by my Mrs and 2 young girls to buy the Star Wars stuff!!!!

    Last time I was there they had a whopping sized Lego Millenium Falcon on display, seems to be replaced with damn Lord Of The Rings crap!!!!

    Is that the Piz Gloria crest on those lederhosen? Impressive.

    Btw, is that a pic of you wearing them, Bondtoys?

    No, that is of course Mrs Bondtoys :007)
    And if you would have zoomed in - like almost everyone here did :D - you'd reckon that it's the Bavarian crest ;%

    I wear a TAG. I love it. Never knew Bond wore one though.
    Thanks Geff!

    Mine is the TAG aquaracer. I always thought it was very Bond, now I think it might be!

    ... and the best thing to happen to Omega.

    He was a very introverted bloke though. Typical watchmaker.
