Panerai 6152 Vintage Marina Militare - 6152 1 Luminor

Can someone walk me from an Explorer 1016 to present?
What would you all consider the closest present day equivalent to the model 1016 Explorer? What models existed in between? (and dates of production, if you know)?Vintage Rolex Sports Models does a nice job of laying out a chronology through the late 1980s. But I'd be interested in what's happened more recently w/ that Explorer I lineage, through 2008.Well, except for the price increases part!Thanks!

The chrono (reference IW371438) and the automatic with power reserve (reference IW500101). These were both beautiful watches and felt fabulous on. I love b

JLC for AP?
Guys,I have a JLC True Second in pink gold, lovely watch, but looking for more of an everyday piece! The 15400 has always been a grail for me, even though there are more expensive watches!So, the question, sell the JLC to fund a 15400? I think I know what you guys will say, but wanted to hear your opinions!Thanks!Jeffrey
