By TLex I caught this 50 piece private label diver posted on WUS the other day and quite liked the look of it. The SCAFO Professional Diver was put together by some members of a Spanish watch forum, not sure, which one, though, no doubt someone will chime in later.
The watch case, which measures 45mm and has water-resistance of 500m was produced Longio. It reminds me a lot of another private label diver I caught a few years back called the PRODIVE Guardian Vintage No.1. I think Longio were behind that one, too. There's also some similarity with HELSON Buccaneer; not a bad thing. 
Some features of the SCAFO Professional include: a 4mm thick sapphire crystal with single AR coating, Helium escape valve (9 o'clock), C1 SuperlumiNova and an ETA 2824-2. I think this is a particularly attractive case design, although I would prefer it brushed myself. Nice clean dial with diver logo, cool KonTiki-esque handset, charming turtle engraving on the caseback and great lume job. Nice work!
The Ford Explorer has always been a good selling large SUV in the market, however, for the 2012 version of the browser, most people will find it's better than a lot of competition in the market. And the reason is that Ford has a lot to this that will appeal to SUV buyers. The first offering is the fact that the person can choose to get the turbo four-cylinder option, which is something most people have a taste for it not only offers great fuel economy, but a great performance as well. The person who receives the option of six-cylinder option to choose from, so that is always there for those who do not want a four-cylinder.
One of the things that most people talk about the fact that the interior is very elegant. You will notice that the materials used to manufacture the interior is something that simply are not used with the Explorer, and is one of those things that appeal to most people. You'll notice that this will make Explorer even more attractive to those who may be in the market for a large SUV with style and luxury. However, that said, most people are somewhat put off by the cargo space and the fourth of the seats in the third is in Explorer, simply because other competitors offer more room than the Explorer. Although most people are willing to look over this little detail.
Another factor that people consider the new version is the fact that many of the advances in the interior, as high-tech offerings that are not something that is not out of the competition. However, having said that, MyFord Touch, which is installed on these vehicles is something that can give people some headaches, because it has some problems of development that have not yet understood.
So how to drive? Most people give for 2012 resources to run it two thumbs up. They are the fact that it is large and well-managed response. He laughs, and sport utility vehicle is something that most people are very impressed as it will take knocks and weaving on the road without the driver or passengers feel at all. However, a person must know that may take some time to get used to the person driving this car because it is a bit 'bigger than what most people are accustomed to, but this seems to be the only complaint that people are having with the guide of this vehicle. So it's 2012 Explorer, something that people should try? Surely they will find that this is a step-up Ford and is one of the best SUV that is a bigger market.
