Exp II pics

I thought I'd try posting a couple pics of my current fav.
Rolex before my new one arrives.....How do they look?
This watch has been on my wrist at least three times a week
for the past ten years....

Mike,

considering you've been wearing that Expl. II regularly for TEN years, it is in a absolutely stunning condition!

Thanks for sharing the pics of that beauty!

Thanks Bo,
I'm pretty careful with my nice watches....some might say a bit too careful...I wear a Citizen Eco-drive dive watch whenever I'm
fishing, diving, hunting, etc.... not too worried about that one.

Good looking watch.

I've been trying to wean myself off a Sub as my daily, and switch over to my EXP II. I think the EXP would take the banging around better than the fairly soft aluminum bezel Subs.

So far I seem to get about the same 3 days per week from my EXP II. I have been trying to get more wrist time for the GMT also...A GMT was my daily in the 70's until I switched to Subs...

Having more than one watch is more complicated than many people can imagine..

Thanks, The Explorer II was my first Rolex...bought back in 1997. I thought 2750.00 was alot to pay back then. I think it will last forever....

What a great watch!!

That white dial is awesome!! Looks fantastic after 10 years.

There's one on the sales corner. Stock market keeps spazzing out. New Exp-II looking like a safe bet to sink some assets into.

I know, crazy talk. But it's a great watch!

It's amazing how I've changed my habits to protect my watches....I wear long sleeve shirts to work and take the watch off whenever i have to do something that might
ding it or scratch it. It helps that the Expl. II is so scratch resistant too. Since I'm on a computer about 10-12 hours a day, it's not at risk often..
