2nd rolex is in the house
Pulled the trigger on this puppy today. Just is an awesome piece. Took me a good 15- 20 minutes to decide on the lvC or the blnr. In the end, I felt the LvC was a better partner to my Exp 1. Have to also thank Orr's Jewelers in Pittsburgh they were wonderful to deal with and have great customer service.

Good choice not going with the BLNR…, i think the BLNR is a great watch, but that is also the only sub that i would buy.

You'll love that watch. Been wearing mine for almost two years now and still gives me a smile when I see the green face under just the right light

Congrats. What makes an Explorer I so nice is that it's a great partner to any watch. Enjoy them both.

I've found that if I take pictures in landscape (horizontal) and not vertical (portrait) that the pictures come out straight. Hope that helps, beautiful watch.

Thanks for the tip on the pictures! This watch is so comfortable. I'll take the glide lock bracelet over everything else I tried
