there may have been other reasons why I sold it. I had just gotten into the Rolex world, the watch world and did so with alot of fervor lol Looking back, I didn't know if I was coming or going. Almost like "too much of a good thing". I sold a few watches that I kind of miss and missed and have replaced a few, bought them again. And I am torn about that Explorer. I also had spent alot of cash and was kind of nervous about having that much money into watches. I have learned alot since then (I think!), and will see what the future holds. I now have my first Rolex, a sub for about 2 years now, and got a 16570 Explorer a few months ago that I still like. One thing though that for sure does bug me about the 214270 I owned... it did not have the best legibility or lume. I kind of like that feature...
