Picked my 1st Rolex ever: Explorer 1 - 14270
Hi guys, I am super excited to let everyone know that I've picked up my first Rolex ever. It's a U series 14270 Explorer 1. It's in amazing condition (just got fully serviced by Rolex Canada in April) and looks 99% brand new. Just wanted to share my excitement with the forum members. I've been reading TRF for years and finally I am contributing as an owner! Wohoooo...
Pix to follow if anyone is interested. Thanks. BA |

Baris, you have great "News" and excitement to share with us as there is nothing like the feeling of procuring your first "Branded Watch." I had wanted a GMT Pepsi for over 40 years before I was in a position where I felt I could spend the money on myself. And last August 2014 as we celebrated 35 years of marriage we decided and bought my Lady/Spouse her first Rolex as well.....
Big Congrats and Welcome to TRF!!!
