Finally joined the club!

After years of looking, liking, and wanting, but never pulling the trigger, I finally joined the Rolex club and the Explorer I club.

Had to go gray since I wanted the 39mm and they, unfortunately, discontinued those this year. But it's to commemorate my 10-year anniversary, so I don't plan to ever sell it.

Loving it so far. And to think that I used to not like or "get" the Explorer, but once I tried it on a few years ago, it immediately went into my top 3 Rolex choices.

I literally had to buy my wife a 36mm two-tone to get my 39mm back from her. Truly the best under the radar Rolex.

No cyclops, no date, no bullshit.

This watch is absolute class. It doesn’t shout its presence. It’s so good it doesn’t need to.

I read that as, "It's so good, it doesn't need you"

I was the same way with the explorer, it’s very underrated. One of the best made IMO!
