Rolex acquisition accomplished. Commence saving for round 2!

Hello everybody,

I finally pulled the trigger last week on an Explorer 2. I couldn't be happier. It has just whet my appetite for my next purchase, a GMT iic.

of course, here are a few pictures.

ps. Thanks to all you enablers out there. If I had a drug problem you people would be no help at all!

pps. It looks better in real life than it does in pictures. Amazing.

Great watches, love the pics

Although I would consider for your next watch something without the GMT hand, variety is the spice of life....

Definitely my favorite current model Rolex sport watch. I have had my 216570 for a couple weeks now and finally took it off to wear another watch. Yes, I too love it!

Damm that's nice! Love the brushed center links, makes it more scratch resistant and more of a tool watch that can be used everyday and everywhere.
