I was also dreaming of owning a nice vintage Explorer after looking at Nico's, Edward's and Abel's, just give me a 1016, i'd be very happy and jumping with joy. So i took this modern looking one to get some wrist time..

eyesight getting far sighted and the other day, i took off my glasses and have a closer look and managed to see the Explo quite well worn with many scars and a few dings, painful.
You nknow my love for these Explorers, my friend.
This one should have a sister coming from the Vintage world, I agree.
But keep it, it is a lovely modern Explo you can use and abuse!
Best,
Nicolas




Wishing you luck in your quest.
