but how clean do we make the cut. Maybe we make it deep and concentrate on the daily wearer first. Then after a period of time and reflection go for that grail. The longer I have been in this hobby the more my tastes have changed and the more my collection has evolved. I think my one lesson is that
....chopping block soon if I pursue ending my collection ;-) And another 3 different IWCs with JLC movements!!!! Truely a lovely watch. Perfect- no, but certainly a pleasure to own. I have looked at the explorer and it is one of many watches that are on the list- truly it covers all bases.
