She's here!

Got my own personal grail today. My Explorer II black face. :) Have been waiting and wanting for years for this. Did a multi-watch trade plus $$ to get her, but gosh the smile has not left my face yet!

Do you guys think she will make a good daily wearer" ;)

Merry Christmas!
John

Congrats John. I got my grail, a white faced Explorer II, four days before you got yours. She will have to make a great daily wearer cuz you won't want to take it off.

Merry Christmas!!!

Congrats & great watch. However, unfortunately the ExpII really isn't a good daily wearer...

congrats in picking-up your personal grail.

i myself had just pulled the trigger on a personal grail and would have to wait until the 29th or 30th to get and wear it.

Merry Christmas and wear it in good health
