<<<<<2016 Explorer Giveaway WINNER Official Picures!>>>>>

It's here! After some complicated logistics and a big hand from the TRF team, I have my "Official TRF Explorer I"!

I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank Steve (Lol-x), for all his effort in making the giveaways happen for us at TRF, as well as for the help in getting the watch to me in Brazil. It's all very much appreciated!

Equally important, I would like to extend my most sincere thank you to the moderator staff at TRF, as I'm sure our community couldn't be what it is without them, and to our amazing trusted sellers, who not only allow so many of us to achieve our dream watches, but also go beyond and make fantastic things like these giveaways possible.

Here are the first pictures I took of the watch, and the first snap wearing it out and about! Needless to say, my "TRF Explorer" has instantly become a special piece in the collection.







Thank you so much TRF family and all the best,

Kauê

Let me be the first to congratulate you! It looks perfect on your wrist, and I'm certain you'll love it!

TRF and everyone involved deserves huge kudos!

Edit: I guess I'm third in line

So happy to see a great TRF member with such a smile.

And thanks again Steve and TRF!

(But no thanks to the random draw program, which doesn't like me. I would have loved that watch! )
