Explorer Hideous?? WTF!

[Boadicea]

Ever since I got my SS+WG Datejust with Diamond+Silver Jubilee dial, my wife has been telling me that my Explorer is "Hideous" and then goes on to ask why I still wear it.

What's up with that?!

I love my Explorer, it's the watch that got me into Rolex in the first place and I had my eyes on it for ages. She even said that she would happily agree with me selling/trading it and spending extra to get something "better" like a TT Sub or another DJ. I said "NO WAY! I love my Explorer! If I wanted a Sub I would have got one in the first place!"

I must admit that it got me browsing around while I was having my coffee this morning and I have to say that given the same choice for price range (£3k-£5k), I would STILL pick the Explorer. It's just perfect! (Although I might now try and get a Jubilee bracelet for it just to keep her partially happy).

Anyway, I told her that the only thing I would trade it for would be a WG or YG Daytona and I would then switch to the DJ for every day use. She was keen until I told her how much the Daytona was. Case Closed!
