Just get a San Martin, it will cost less than getting the explorer re-polished.

I would go for the Erebus out of those, however I would probably try and get a used CW celest but it is considerably more expensive

What did you trade for it?

commented on Wife is very aquatic and is looking for a swim watch with some versatility (no trad divers) ·

Some sort of seiko alpinist or a CW sealander would be my choice, or if the long lugs aren't a problem then a Nomos club sport 37mm.

If it needs to be set regularly then caller, if it doesn't need to be set regularly then traveller.
