Lavish Exploratory Timepieces

Bamford Watch Department's Newest Version of the Rolex Explorer II

The Bamford Watch Department has just released its latest version of the customized Rolex Explorer II watches. The Explorer Collection was first started in 1971 and has become a reliable timepiece for pioneers, polar explorers, and speleologists for decades.

This new version features a 42mm case, and to prove its durability it was tested on the Afghanistan battle fields on the wrist of a member of the British Army for a six month period. The watch was returned with no damages, which shows how resistant it is to a variety of weather conditions and environments. Dashes represent the 3-6-9-hours, and the identifiable reversed triangle shows the 12-hour. This distinct watch comes to $10,000 and it comes with its guaranteed quality and dependable style.
