That is a problem if you give your wife a watch you actually wanted yourself
I only gave her a datejust ladys size which i wiill not wear anyway
.
I have a newer Explorer II with black dial, but actually find the soul and the spirit of the Explorer I is much higher.
The Freccione is for me a little too colorful.
A 1016 would better fit my view of easy and simple looking not to overgrowded watches
