commented on Rolex Explorer vs Rolex Oyster Perpetual ·

Ok both are 36mm variants. As a former mountain climber, I have to go with the Explorer. Now, if I were to get an OP I am not complaining. I had a Casio Pathfinder on my wrist as I climbed several mountains.

commented on Solar Vs. Non-Solar Quartz ·

I have a solar Casio (15 years old) Seiko (5months) and a Garmin instinct2 (1year). I would like to get a GShock GW-M5610U-1JF to compare to the 15year old still going strong. I have plenty of mechanical and quartz watches. Solar is a great bonus.

Keep the hand, but on the squared off tip add a small arrow.

Don’t forget the t-fit clasp. I love my 41 GMT but I wish we can buy the t-fit clasp or the jubilee bracelet with the t-fit clasp.
