Not an easy watch to photograph outside of a lightbox...    Well I got my money's worth out of this one at least, who else claims DLC finish with a decent Miyota 9015, five link bracelet and faux-Pelican case for $300 I have only two complaints about it at any price point, The bracelet was DLC treated after assembly and that means you can see bear metal between the links. I would have preferred the bracelet parts were coated before assembly so there was less bare metal showing. It has a large diameter crown and small crown tube and threads this will lead to stripped threads or a broken stem prematurely so I will have to be careful with it. Maybe down the road I will opt for a triploc crown upgrade on it... Lume is average/below average but It won't be spectacular with such small indexes anyway. I really love the simple minimal design, everything does what it should with the least amount of fanfare and it fits the stealth black perfectly. The five link bracelet should be oiled before you try to remove any of the spare links, the threads are dirty and the screws on mine were near impossible to move before I oiled it. Don't say I didn't warn you! While you have the screws out it might be a good idea to oil those threads and wash it off and re-oil the threads again so it will just work the next time you want to add or remove a link. Once the bracelet is sized it wears comfortably like a five link should! My Explorer has a new home on a PVD hardware Nato strap which after a break in and a couple of washes will be as comfortable as the bracelet.

Looks really nice with the coating. I own the stainless steel model of the Explorer. Like that handset and the clean matte dial. So much watch for the money.

I missed this post. It's very easy to love, Cris. I like the way the watch looks so serious and unassuming.

Thanks! It has been in the weekly rotation since arrival, running very well and I have actually had a comment on my watch... only the second time ever! It is very easy to tell the time at a glance too. Either very well designed and thought out or a wonderful bit of good luck either way it's a fun watch..

I think the stark contrasts of white on black plus those generous hands are a factor for the instant time read-off.
