And it lands!!!! Incoming
Hey all - it finally arrived - as you all know I suck at being patient enough for unboxing pics =)
I bought this watch years ago as one of my first true rolex sport models. I had to sell it back then for tuition and regretted it ever since It used to fit better on me when my wrists were fat and swollen - now since I lost a bunch of weight, the clasp isnt sitting proper, BUT its not disaster uncomfortable just a bit off. Super light; I love these old models. After pateks, AP's, RM's, VC, and endless amounts of rolexes... I seem to have forgotten about getting back this watch which I vowed to do Well... this NOS beauty finally has come back to me I made sure I got a 3186 verified by my rolex watchmaker of course!

Congrats. I'm a big fan of the Explorer models. Love your pictures. Especially of the movement.

Congrats, Will. I really love the white face 16570 and hope to have one some day. Because of my lifestyle, it should have been my first Rolex. You got a beauty.
