Bit the bullet. EXPLORER
I've always wanted the explorer , but never really loved the gold numbers. Once I saw the new iteration in person, I was sold. Had to have one and here it is.

The bullet was trading my 14060m in for it. Couldn't justify 3 Sub's and no EXP.

Do like the new dial definitely.

I don't think there's enough difference to warrant trading the one I have in for it otherwise I'd definitely have one.

The finest Rolex on the market today. I have the "old" one and am thinking about upgrading.
