Congrats!

I will always have a profound respect of Explorer I owners. They can truly say they bought a Rolex for the right reasons and went with a very subtle piece with a tremendous history.

The new 2016 Explorer I is a winner. They fixed the issues, while maintaining the modernity.

Congratz!!!

Congrats on your purchase!

Thanks! I don't think the resale value will factor in for my husband. He likes the DJ for the versatility - that it can dress down or up.

Thanks! For a moment, I had a "how does he know my name?!" moment, then remembered that I have it in my profile.

I love the dark Rhodium dial myself and would get it if offered in the smaller sizes, but it appears lighter in the 31mm DJ.

Congratulations and enjoy!

That is what I'm focusing on. It was just a bit difficult to wrap my head around dropping that much coin at once. ;)

Yes, I'm sure Tate's only concern was if this outlay in cash was going to equal a reduction in his treats. I'm not sure why I love the furry little psychopaths, but I do.

I will definitely do that once I get a decent-ish picture.

Username is left over from my MMORPG days. I can't stop using it now.

Thanks! My husband & I both agree that it is a very understated piece and doesn't scream "ROLEX!". Which is fine - I don't think I want my watch screaming at people. ;) The more I researched watches, the more I was drawn to the Explorer I, both in looks and in history.

Besides, by Christmas I'll have my dad's DJ, which, with a two-tone jubilee bracelet, will scream "ROLEX!"
