Very nice! Ironically enough, Bob's is where I got my Sub from a few years ago.

I believe I spoke to the son, Phil, and left with a very positive impression. Felt like that team is very passionate and deep into the watch game. Hard to find others who are into it, and I have really met only 1-2 over the years.

That's the last time I heard from them. Multiple emails were left unreturned over the next 48 hours, and then I came home that Thursday to a USPS notification saying I'd missed a package. The next morning I went to USPS and signed for the watch that was being held at their facility. Still no email or phone call which was quite disappointing. The positives were the price, and the condition of the watch. It's in excellent shape with no flaws to mention and has been running excellent for the past 4 months. I swam in the ocean with it during my Honeymoon with no issue, and it runs great. I've yet to wind the watch as it arrived running and I put it right on. The only time I've tinkered with the settings is when I have to manually adjust the date for non 31 day months. FWIW, I had my Explorer II, the one I sold to upgrade to the 168000 Sub, serviced at the Water Buyer's Group a few years ago after my mainspring broke and the watch would not wind. For service, they seemed to be the most cost effective and the watch ran/looked perfectly when it returned. I had them fully service everything while they were in there, as well as polish the case and replace the crystal that had a nick in it. That was a better experience than mine with Bob's based purely on customer service. |

I, too, would be sweating bullets if I wired that large of an amount of money and to hear no word from them over the next 48 hours. I am glad the watch reached your hands and that you were happy with the condition and function! The watch game has turned into a sickness for me because ever since owning my 1er I have realized that there are no cars that really would put a bigger smile on my face or push me enough to sell my 1er. Since cars are out of the picture, watches are in...and boy oh boy are there some watches that would put a big smile on my face! But I must have patience for another 6ish years before I can allow myself that little splurge Today, I wore my Oris and went for a nice drive.

It's finally here. The Veloce from Trifoglio Italia with a Bimmer backdrop.
It proves that style and creativity don't have to cost a fortune. Perfect as an everyday watch for me. |

I think the mechanism is similar to what moves the hands in a regular watch. But the disks have to move counterclockwise.
The lume is impressive. the whole smaller disk is covered with lume. I will take a picture and post. |

Here you are!
Cool isn't it? I am not sure if it is more readable than a standard watch, though. |

Not the greatest quality shot I'm afraid. I'll try to take another photo in better light next week.

Love it. I am really starting to appreciate the Exp1. Before I disregarded it because it lacked a date function. But now I can see the appeal.
