New Member with Explorer II

Hey everyone! I have lurked here long enough. The time has come for me to be a part of the discussion. I don't know much, but I really enjoy learning from this forum. My business parter and I both bought Rolex watches this year to celebrate a successful first year together. We are both watch guys, but have never owned Rolex. Neither of us have worn our other watches with any regularity in many months.

I purchased my 216570 Polar from a local gentleman who was gifted it from his wife. It was purchased at our local AD and I really fell in love with it.

Although, I feel a 16610 is a better watch for me in the long run, so I may be inquiring about one here in the future!

Of course a photo is necessary for any decent introduction.



Best,
David
