New Explorer I found its way to me this morning.
The postman arrived this morning at 8:45 with this box for me.



Yes it a shoe box but inside...









The wrist shot



Beside its much, much, much bigger step brother





HAGD. I know I will

Nice purchase! Enjoy and ignore those who say the hands are too short!!

I got one recently, and was wondering what's in the white wallet on top of the box in your fourth picture: the one that says "Rolex Explorer"? I didn't get that with mine...

I too did not get the white envelope nor does my booklet have the picture of a person in a what looks like a cave.

O.P.... Congrats and enjoy!

Nice one you bought !
Looks small compared to the PAM
But the PAM's are huge watches in size and look ;-)

Congrats

Congratulations! The 3,6,9 is a good looking watch and pair well with the Panm
I think having a date will spoil the look of the dial!

Congrats, I love the new 39mm explorer! Also, I didn't get that white envelope that's sitting on top of your Rolex box... what's in it?
