My new favorite ROLEX
Got a call from my AD and purchased it on the spot! Call me crazy but I am enjoying it more than my "Pepsi" BLRO. Looks great in person. Better than in photos, IMO.

"Explorer" 39mm.

Why do you say you are enjoying more than BlRO?

Because of all the hype. And the Explorer is beautiful and understated.
I love the BLRO, BTW. It is a classic... I easily obtained it from my AD mostly (being honest), cause I knew it was very hard to get, and that was a small part of the allure for me.
Now I am Pepsi'd out LOL! And will put it away for a long time. Then, I will take out for a spin again when I travel.

I really love the execution of the Explorer. Great size, minimalistic, classic, and can really go and do anything. Congratulations and enjoy it!

You are not crazy to love a black steel Rolex combo. Elegant and understated without all the colors of BLRO. Two different watches which make for a great two watch collection.

Not crazy at all. The Explorer is an icon. I love the BLRO, but the Explorer holds its own.

Wear it in good health!
