Really, really nice. Good choice!

Looks great!!! Good pick for your 40th. 

Great looking watch, happy belated. 

Very nice 👌

congrats mate. The BB Pro is a cracking looking watch. you got it on a single pass strap or normal nato out of interest? 

Normal nato that I, umm..modified 😅

Many happy returns (belated)! And that watch looks great on your wrist. Enjoy 👌

congratulations and enjoy the watch sir 🍺

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

the modified nato matches the pro well👍

Welcome to your 40's!!  And congrats on the pick-up, great piece.  

Damn good way to start a new decade! BB Pro absolutely smashes 🙌

Happy Birthday! Question… which do you like better, BB Pro or Explorer II? All things considered (price, style, wearability)? I’m wrestling with the same question myself!

EXII definitely. A few personal reasons:

-It's an '08 which is my son's birth year. The hunt for this was a really fun one.
-Because its a 5-digit it is way lighter
-I MUCH prefer that it's a slimmer case and just the overall comfort is amazing
-I LOVE white dial watches and I like the contrast this gives me, and
-Because of that I can tell the time at a quick glance!

Because of that last point I have to note something with the BB Pro:

The GMT hand is a v. light shade of yellow (much lighter in person) - in some conditions it and at a quick glance is almost, almost looks the same colour as the the other hands. 

So if you aren't used to telling the time via 24hrs hand it can be a bit confusing to the eyes. Just some input based on my (aging) eyes experience 😀

Another point on the BB Pro - it's a hefty watch. The case size is fine IMO (the thickness, etc). But there is a real weight to it so if you PREFER heavier watches it's a good thing but I much prefer the 'feel-on-the-wrist' of the EXII.

Having said all this, I still really do like the BB Pro and it's definitely a keeper.

Hope this helps! 👊🏼

Happy birthday and congratulations on the pro 

Thank you, sir!

Lovely Watch. I’ve joined the bandwagon.

Congratulations! Awesome watch (although I parted ways with it...because i'm absolutely nuts.)

Oh home comes, after such a short time. Was there a fault?

It's a stunning watch but just something just didn't sit for me - I cannot pinpoint it.

I've had this same experience with other watches, too -- OG Kermit, the Moonwatch...

Good luck with whatever you get next!
