After having been on "The list" for almost 2 years now for an Explorer II I finally gave up and got the white dial Seamaster. I have been eyeing it for months now but held off as it would effectively fill the same space I intended the Explorer to. I have to say that I couldn't be happier. My Planet Ocean is a bright color and slightly heavy, and large for a daily piece. My Submariner is slightly too small in my opinion. But the Seamaster is absolutely the perfect size and weight for a daily wear. I couldnt be happier with how this watch looks and fits. I am tempted to call the AD to take me off the list entirely. Aside from a shipping delay from Fedex due to the current storms the experience was also everything you hope for when spending this level of money. To anyone on the fence for this watch...get it. You wont regret it.
