Got the AD call

So, finally I got the call.

I’ve been wanting an Explorer 214270 Mk2 for quite some time and have been on many lists down here in Sydney Australia. I’d say for approximately 12 months give or take

I appreciate it’s not the latest Daytona, Batman, Batgirl or Hulk, but it’s the one I’m looking forward to putting on my wrist and adding to my collection.

It’s not bought for investment and it certainly won’t be flipped, it will simply be worn and enjoyed.

So come Tuesday I’ll be a new proud owner of an iconic timepiece

I very excitedly picked up the watch today. I’ve tried following the instructions but alas no joy. I don’t have URL links or anything else.

If anyone has any (idiot) step by step guides I’d appreciate it.
