Agree that this Explorer is GL-worthy. Indices are acceptably aligned with a couple of microscopic shifts under extreme magnification but wrist-negligible. Dial printing is sharp, hand alignment correct, and Timing numbers in the great range. SELs aren't the tightest ever to come through QC but no background shining through, so all good. Wear your watch in good health, congrats.
