u/Hereforthewatches

Hit a couple of milestones in my life recently and I successfully convinced myself that the only way to meaningfully celebrate was by getting myself an Explorer.

I was put off by the entire Rolex buying experience so I hesitated at first but finally got a good deal on it from a friendly grey market dealer so overall it wasn’t bad. I love the watch, its proportions and design are beautiful and it’s as comfortable as can be for a piece of pure steel on my wrist.

The watch is also a birth year watch for my daughter, I’m looking forward to giving it to her when she’s ready and capable of fighting me for it.

The other watches in my collection may not see much wrist time, but I suspect they will be happy for me.
