I am so sorry your love story with the Explo turned wrong.
But I am pretty sure you will find yours, someday.
It took me a long time before finding mine, and the good part of the story is that I didn't find it by myself, but Baron did it for me!
So yes, this watch, not the red, veeh, but the other one, has a special place in my heart.
Un abrazo, Amigo mio.
Nicolas
