Salutations

[st.tully]

Greetings all -

I have been lurking for weeks now and am really impressed with this community. Also the format is super. I am a member of a car form with the same format and really like the layout.

I bought my first nice watch twenty years ago from a local store which did not carry Rolex. I stuck with the same brand all these years and and many watches but never tried a Rolex - then a month ago a sub was traded-in and I bought it on a lark.

Well, I really like this beast. I decided that I'd like to buy an Explorer II so I called about six ADs in my area and visited four. The mall stores were not inviting. I settled on an independent AD with a nice detached location (which is also close to my favorite hotdog stand - this is not a knock on the location).

I bought an Explorer II and have ordered a SD and a GMT Red/Blue. Plus I am very much excited about putting different bands on these watches. As a Rolex novice, I'm thankful for your community and support.

Cheers,
George
