New Old guy

Hello to all. I have wanted a Rolex watch most of my adult life. I have forgone the luxury because my investments have long been tied up in food, shelter, clothing, child support, alimony, and college tuitions. I have come to a "if not now, when?" point in my life, and have been using this forum to educate myself into the making of an informed decision when I buy. So, thanks to all; there is valuable dialogue and info here!
I've decided my grail watch is a white Explorer II. So, the search begins!
