Hey cats -
I earlier had asked your opinion on what I should get. I was looking for something I can read on stage with a light weight.
Here is what I've been wearing for about a year.
It's a 2nd quarter 6424 with a non-original dial:

I've absolutely loved the explorer-like dial on this watch and enjoyed it's extreme lightweight. I wanted somehting more recent that would hold up to the extremes of real life. But I've just jumped into an '04 Explorer pictured below. I hope these pics work - Even though I have a busy website of my own, I've been quite ignorant about posting pics (without the aid of my webmaster) - so this is my first attempt. (wondering if any of these https will really work!)
Here's the new guy. Enjoy!

Yeah. that's the plan.

the other guy was too fragile. I sure like it as well though!
I'm allowing myself a time of adjustment to find my way with the new guy.

Love those Explorers!

Hey, I remember you! Congrats on the Explorer. It's a clean classic look, easy to read, and tough as nails!

Congratulations, Billy

Why not try this out? ↓

Here is MY suggestion how to post pics here:

1) Go to www.photobucket.com and create an account (it's FREE!)
2) Upload the pic to photobucket from your PC
3) When it's uploaded, copy the IMG code (BOTTOM bar under the photo in photobucket - there are four bars, but you'd wanna use the LAST bar - see my arrow on the Print Screen underneath). You copy the IMG code by simply clicking on the bar:

4) You then note that photobucket tells you "copied".
5) Then go to rolexforums and start your post.
6) In your post, press the "Add picture" button and a prompt pops up with http://. Delete that http:// and press CTRL + V (now that address of the photo - the "IMG tag" - is inserted in the prompt you got.
7) Then DELETE the last and first [IMG] to get rid of "IMG" standing before and after your photo when you post it. (not important, but just looks better).

Or you can skip # 6 & 7 and just rightclick in your post and choose "paste"...........BINGO your photo will be there as soon as you press Submit reply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DELETE THE PICTURE FROM PHOTOBUCKET (OR ANY SERVER YOU USE) SINCE DELETING IT THERE WOULD ALSO DELETE IT HERE ON TRF! (RED CROSS INSTEAD OF PIC).

That's it!
