Hi All
Well just picked it up my first Rolex

I went to the AD yesterday to put my name down for a Explorer ll -226570.AD remembered me from buying a Tudor 925 a few weeks ago he said that he had got an order in which contained the old polar explorer (NOS) and if I was interested I could purchase it. He then left to get the watch for me to look at.. it took him ages When he got back he said unfortunately the shipment Did not have the Old Polar explorer..

He had received the new one..... how lucky was I.
And as I was the first to ask for one it was mine if I wanted it

Looked at it ..its superb .. put deposit down and picked it up half hour ago

Well happy went to AD asked for watch and able to buy the new release in 10 minutes ....what shortage
Love this watch fits my 8 1/4 wrist perfectly
I did not realise how wonderful the case is not too high and great proportions.. anyway here are some pics
