After giving it some thought - while Mr Odet's review may give me pause when it comes to purchasing a brand new Explorer at retail, I'm not as concerned as regards the watches I'm considering. Also, I tend to take one piece of "interpinion" with a grain of salt. I find threads like this to be most helpful in providing tools and insights to research the topic more thoroughly and make an informed decision. That said, I still like the Airking - even if it is a 90 year old's 924.
Here's another one I'm considering. Opinions invited and welcome.
