Finally...Incoming

[ParsonBrown]

Long time lurker and very rare poster finally sharing my first Rolex. I picked up a new 2016 Explorer at my AD yesterday. I have been waiting for years and after reaching a few personal finance goals, I had the funds to make it happen...along with the wife's approval LOL.

I went in thinking it would be a tough choice between this and date Sub, but it wasn't even close. I had tried on the sub before but never the explorer.

Admittedly I may eventually get the sub, but I am a one watch guy at heart. I'm drawn to the idea of passing on this watch to my son one day after years of life and adventure. I already have a couple of vintage mechanicals that were passed down by my dad and grandfather.

On a lighter note...in less than 24 hrs of ownership I have answered a couple of "Can you do X in your Rolex" questions. Breaking into a car with locked keys and while smoking on a Big a Green Egg. It survived LOL...

I know just enough to be dangerous, but enjoy reading and learning here. Looking forward to contributing more now that I'm a legit member of the club.

Forgot to mention...the AD actually gave me a discount. They got one 2016 explorer in this past Friday and I got it. It was the first one they got. Was not expecting it but I asked and the owner came over personally and offered it. Win win...
