Pulled the trigger, pictures and a story of a robbery
Hereīs my new Explorer I bought the other day for my sonīs graduations present. I got a good deal, because my AD was robbed and the 49 Rolexes that were stolen were retrieved. I bought one with a great discount. I donīt know if you read my story, but hereīs the thread:
http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=204212
Hope you enjoy.

Great watch and present. IMHO using the term "pulling the trigger" may not have the been the best way to describe your transaction all things considered. Lol
