Not even the slightest stirring??????

I`ve tried them on with the regular bracelet and it didn`t do anything for me but the black strap seems to change everything!

Big risk though, it`s not like i`ll find one on a strap to KNOW is it!
Not being stirred by those tiny, lady's delicate wrists at all! wink

Actually, I usually think of them being white faced (which do less than nothing for me) - it looks pretty good in black there!

I'd always go GMT II over Explorer II but I can see how that might appeal...

Maybe a 'head' might crop up for sale on eBay or somewhere that's worth a punt? Stranger things have happened!

Despite my 'snobbery' of new brands, time to give these guys a go - I have read nothing but praise for them so let's see scratchchin
That's a nice looking piece Yeti, might have to snag one myself...always liked the nice bell & ross type hands, with the sort of fortis look, nice with the day display as well....2k euros hmmmmm, will mull

That Exp2 looks really good with the black strap thumbup

Am still toying with the idea of an Exp2 as a daily wear replacement for my 16610 Sub as my ageing eyes are starting to struggle with the Sub now at times frown and have need of a Maxi dial......
Tried a ceramic no-date Sub and that seemed full of reflections and didn't seem any clearer despite the maxi-dial.
Black face Exp2 wasn't nay better in all honesty, but the white faced one was a huge improvement on face legibility - so despite preferring the look of the black face, it would be a polar Exp2 for me if I take the plunge later in the year (and don't like the new SDc when I try one of those)

The Explorer fund is being rapidly depleted thanks to the house/kids/car/bike, so I figured on an interim purchase biggrin

Just bought this, but way too small for me, so back up for sale shortly.

There have been 3 on tz in the past few weeks for a grand (or a smidge over/under). At that money they make a LOT of sense for a very nice watch indeed.

That's real nice Andy. A DC67 would have been my first choice, but the 56 was a bit of a bargain (only a month old and a significant saving on new) so I snapped it up...an unplanned purchase biggrin

Interesting that yours has the same defect as mine, the hour chronograph dial doesn't always reset to 0/12 o'clock.

Didn't know you were a PHer Max! Still enjoying it and hopefully will do for a long time to come. It's everything I need in an everyday watch and if I ever needed to have just one, this would be it.

Almost every time it's OK.

Cars and watches go together well!

I really enjoyed owning it and glad you are too - I hardly ever sell so feel a bit liberated selling 2 and maybe 3 within a month! Of course the money is all allocated to more watches already.

It's a Di-Modell Chronissimo. Can't remember where it came from but they are available in quite a few places if you Google it. They are great straps but take a wee while to wear in.
Thanks smile
