now, apparently, any watch with Arabics at 3, 6, 9, and 12 is an "Explorer"!

Sorry mate Explorer doesn't have 12! But it may be a Railmaster as well!!!

 

I call 'em the Tesla Dial[emoji6]

 

For a second I thought this thread was going to be about the words "art deco", "minty", and "military".

 

Are you not feeling the dial radiating a warmth and energy not often found in a watch?

 

Are you referring to the Explorer 1 dear?

 

From the auction:
" Under the heavily scratched crystal the black Explorer-like dial has aged uniquely. In person and under direct light (natural or artificial), the beauty of the dial really comes alive and radiates a warmth and energy not often found in a watch."

 

The poster there appeared to be vaguely romantic like a part time politician... I don't know what he wished to convey in reality....

 

I bet the heat and warmth come from the radioactive hands.

 

Ha ha ha...
