I just purchased my first Rolex. I purchased my Explorer II white dial from George Ab and is being sent to me overnight and I'll have it by noon. I cant sleep one second, it's 1:30 am and I am soooo excited for this time piece. I keep watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut1PP...eature=related
over and over again.
I don't know what to do!! Cant wait to own my first rolex. Time to put my Chopard to rest for a little while!!!

klayface · 30 April 2011, 04:05 PM

Do what I do when I want the day to go by quickly. Run into a wall head first and 12 hrs will seem like 5 mins.

Watchvirgin · 30 April 2011, 04:08 PM

Looooooool

xjeeunitx · 30 April 2011, 04:13 PM

I'm waiting for one as well... It's almost like torture.

ally · 30 April 2011, 07:46 PM

I purchased my Expo II from George last year. Top Fella

The waiting is part of the pleasure / pain process

Pic's when it arrives please

Almost everybody here knows what that is like. Happy for you, please post Wrist PICs when you get it, Congrats.

travisb · 30 April 2011, 08:50 PM

Painful wait but worth every second!
Congrats!! Great watch! Be sure to post pics..

Art 1 · 30 April 2011, 08:53 PM

Can't wait to see a pic.

mike · 30 April 2011, 08:57 PM

Congrats.

What a beautifull reference.

Watchvirgin · 30 April 2011, 10:42 PM

Thanks all! Went to bed at 4 am and just got up!!! Im thinking of ways of keeping myself occupied for her arrival. These 4 hours are going to be the longest. I haven't even gotten the watch yet and my mannerisms are changing, weird!
I'll post the pics once I have her.

GerardoG · 30 April 2011, 10:54 PM

Welcome to the club! Yes, waiting is part of the excitement, and DO post pics when you get it.

Congrats on a classic!!

Watchvirgin · 1 May 2011, 12:54 AM

Run-Check, Walk the dog-Check, showered-Check, heading to the laundromat in 20 minutes then I am hoping I can walk up and see my new lady on the kitchen counter! The slowest two days EVER!! I don't think I can do this for the second one

R-Star · 1 May 2011, 01:22 AM

Well, if it helps, I am on a holding pattern until Monday when mine is due to arrive. The irony of time's passage waiting on a watch. Congratulations by the way.

Speed · 1 May 2011, 01:26 AM

That may eventually be my first white-dialed watch.

Congratulations!

Rolodex5551212 · 1 May 2011, 01:36 AM

Congrats on your new watch.

I'm with you guys... Wife has purchased me a Sub ND (Cosc) for my birthday, which isn't for another 2 weeks. So I am not allowed to wear it!!

It's upstairs, all shiny and new and I can't have it...

What a dilemma! Persuade her with this: No Rolex, No Sex. Or, for a kinder, more subtle approach, wear one of those T-shirts with that printed on it and I guarantee you'll have that Rolex long before your birthday!

Isn't that cruel and inhumane punishment? I would consult a lawyer.

WatchTimes · 1 May 2011, 04:58 AM

Exp II white dial is the greatest all around low key Rolex Sports model...
You can easily track a second time zone, the watch will go deep enough
for 99% of all divers, it is low key due to the white dial and you do not
have the potential to knock off or mess up a rotating bezel.

When I got engaged my now wife told me to pick a watch I knew Id keep forever
as she wanted to get it for me as an engagement present and I got a White Exp II
the only thing I have changed is I had a Daytona crystal put on it as I do not care
for the cyclops.

Roja · 1 May 2011, 05:02 AM

Your watch is probably asking "are we there yet?"

Watchvirgin · 1 May 2011, 05:16 AM

My luck! It was supposed to be here at noon, it's now 3:14 and counting! If someone was to see me right now, I am a mess....WTF is going on, I don't know what to do anymore. I have exhausted all activities and am going nuts!!!!!!

WHY MEEEEEE!!!!

You know Bill you're right. However the cruel irony of it, is that she is a lawyer!

Congrats on a great choice, Looking forward to pics

Watchvirgin · 1 May 2011, 03:49 PM

Well, finally got here home at 7:30! She is everything I had been wanting and imagined. Everything that everyone said about it being so versatile, sleek, amazing, is all true! Here are some pics!!
I am so happy!!!
Thanks George for a great watch, thanks TRF for allowing me to learn about my time piece, and thanks to everyone that gave their two scents!

ordered the same watch, looks amazing

ec51 · 1 May 2011, 04:34 PM

I know exactly what you went through, my and wife purchased a Sub ND in Mexico about a month ago. I had been eyeing a ND for quite some time now, ever since I began toying with the idea of actually purchasing a Rolex. However, the deal was...I was allowed to purchase the Rolex - though it would be given to me as a gift when my wife was ready to let me have it...! It's still sitting in its box - shiny and new...and I have yet to call it mine!

Not sure how much longer I can go....!

I feel your pain! Now that I have this baby I realize it was well worth the pain and agony I was going through!!!

z0mghenry · 2 May 2011, 02:45 AM

I know the feeling waiting for deliveries in general. Usually I'm pressed against the glass door waiting. When the delivery guy finally shows up, he doesn't need to bring it to the door because I'm busting out and already at the truck. Anyways, congrats!
