Explorer - 8 months of hiking and camping

I'm an avid hiker in the Pacific Northwest. This watch has been through rain, mud, snow, and more than a few bumps against rocks. The sapphire crystal has zero scratches. The case shows some minor wear on the bezel, but that's expected. The movement is still running at +5s/day. The lume is still bright after all this time. The bracelet has held up perfectly. The crown still screws down smoothly. For an outdoor watch at this price, I couldn't ask for more. It's been more durable than some genuine pieces I've owned.

The fluted bezel on the Datejust is what got me. It catches light like nothing else.

Retired as well. The research process was half the fun. Enjoy the watch!

I was worried about being called out too. Never happened. These are that good.

Nice! What strap are you running on it? I find the bracelet a bit heavy for summer.

Beautiful piece. Did you get the Swiss movement option or the standard? Trying to decide if the upgrade is worth it.
