TRF Lurker / Rolex Noob / New Member - :cheers:

Thanks to a lot of the "regulars" who frequent TRF, learned a lot about the product/brand while cruising the forum.

Big Tag Heuer fan but recently have been falling in love with the entire Rolex line, just purchased a 16570 Explorer II with aftermarket bezel :smoking: although I also have the factory and might switch it up and use these diamonds for something else...Still on the fence, I know a majority here prefer stock but in my line of business we need a little flash ;)

I hate to say it but even though I just got this one on the 31'st of last month, I'm already looking for my next piece

Couple shots taken this week

good question! I'm rarely in the water much with my watches so it never crossed my mind, but would still like to be assured it is safe to use as originally intended. Will be asking my jeweler if he offers the service next time I'm in the shop.

Welcome. I'm not too keen on iced out Rolexes myself, but I'm guessing you can carry it off.

I like that ice effect, its kind of an understated modification.

Welcome to the forum and I do like the effect on the Explorer 2! It adds a lot of pop!
