I've been speaking to my boss today, and he gave me the excellent news that the first of the new Explorers is arriving in our next shipment! Needless to say, I'll make sure I'm one of the first to get my grubby mitts on it, and TRF will be getting a full review

Can you tell that I'm excited?

Colnago · 9 June 2010, 09:17 PM

Good news Chris....can't wait to read the report....does your gaffer allow you to take photos of your stock (and on the wrist), or is that a big no-no?

....and does your boss have any news on when the new ceramic SS Subs will be coming into stock

datejust1 · 10 June 2010, 12:54 AM

:DDDD Great!!!!!! Can't wait either!

matt.wu · 10 June 2010, 12:54 AM

But now the question that remains is: "When is your next delivery?"

I'm really on the edge of my seat to see if they actually used different hands than the prototype models.

Not yet, we only find out when the allocation sheet comes through - could be next month, or in a few months time, unfortunately, there's no way of telling for sure. I'd be ecstatic if it was next month, Rolex have already pulled off an impressive job by getting a new model out this fast

My boss reckons in about a week and a half, give or take

And one can only wish they had put lume in the numerals as well.

darthmouse · 10 June 2010, 02:26 AM

The new Explorer looks magnificent.

And I'm a sucker for the new blue lume.
