First Rolex, First Post

Hello All,
I’ve been into watches for several years but just obtained my first Rolex. After a two year wait with no prior buying history I just received my new Explorer ll Polar.
So far, I’m lovin it! Been reading posts and enjoying the info here for awhile. Wanted to wait until I was an owner to post.

Congrats!! The Exp 2 polar was the first Rolex I fell in love with. But when it came the time to make an official request to an AD, I changed my heart and ordered the Sub Kermit (126610LV) instead. I picked up the watch today and have no regret. But I have a feeling that I may visit the Exp 2 polar someday.

That’s the exact combination I have! My two favorite Rolexes.
