I don’t know why it took so long, but Incoming!

I don’t why it took so long since I got my hands on my BB36 I realized I wanted an Explorer pretty bad. The size is perfect!

BB36 and Explorer may be a bit redundant but I won’t let go the BB36. The Sub is still #1.

Nice grab!

In my opinion, the Explorer I is the perfect Rolex. I prefer it to all other models.

Curious...any reason you won't let go of the BB? The two watches are so similar. I would bet the new Explorer will get 99% wrist time.

BB36 is a fun watch with a timeless size. Plus, I’m pretty sure this would make a great watch for my daughter, she’s only 10 months but I bought it ( pure luck ) a couple of weeks after she was born.

I go back and forth on the Explorer. It’s on my radar.

I like the BB36 also, somehow the proportion looks perfect for such a simple and functional watch. Classic design.
