Just got it a few hours ago via FedEx. I'm in love..

Kinda cool, my last purchase was a Datejust some time ago, Rolex has changed boxes and went from a paper warranty to a card.

Very nice, congrats

you a great classic there.

rkb · 5 March 2009, 06:49 AM

Thanks, I really like the simple lines. After wearing a Sub for about 16years, it's also nice to have a little smaller watch, even a bit smaller than my DJ.

sammiepug · 5 March 2009, 06:53 AM

excellent choice, one of the best non-date Rolexes out there IMO

Rolex Lover · 5 March 2009, 07:10 AM

Congratulations, RKB!!!! Enjoy it and wear it in very good health. Please post more pics if you think to try it with leather strap :)))

buz-lh · 5 March 2009, 07:15 AM

Congratulations on making that classic yours. You will love wearing it.

Mrdi · 5 March 2009, 07:17 AM

Something simply elegant about the Explorer.
Congrats

rkb · 5 March 2009, 07:19 AM

Thanks all, I'm going to have a little vino later after my workout to toast the event. As for a leather strap, I've seen some pics and I like the look. I did however purchase a NATO desert sand strap yesterday to try something different.

A simple, beautiful, workhorse classic. Congratulations.

Lion · 5 March 2009, 09:45 PM

I know you are happy with the purchase of your new watch. Like being a kid in a candy store!!! Enjoy and wear in goo health!!!

Subexplorer · 5 March 2009, 09:58 PM

Hi RKB!! Congrats! Excellent choice!
One of my favorite Rolex models! A true classic!
It´s gorgeous with its original Oyster bracelet, or leather strap.
Our young friend Kyle has his with a fantastic "carbon fiber" strap. Looks very stylish!
Don´t know how it will look with a Nato, but I imagine that very sporty.
Hope you enjoy your new purchase as much as I do.

Have a nice day!
