A Family Affair
When I was 10 years old, I went to the local AD with my mom and dad and watched in awe as they each purchased a Rolex. Mom got a Datejust, while Dad got a black dial Explorer II.
That was the moment that I became fascinated with horology and watches. Fast forward to today, 15 years, later....my dad gave me his Explorer II. Words cannot express how much this means to me and how much I treasure this watch. |
