My first post - hello to all! I purchased my first Rolex watch last week - an Explorer II polar, vintage 2006. Several years ago, I became fascinated with the Explorer based on the belief that it was the "Steve McQueen" watch. I am of an age that Steve McQueen was, to me, the king of cool and I decided I would someday get this watch as a bit of an homage to him and, more importantly, because I really liked the looks of the watch. More recently, as I realized I was going to actually buy one of these watches, I did more research and found to my dismay that the Explorer is not the watch McQueen wore. So when I went to purchase, I compared the Sub to the Explorer and put both on my wrist. I left with the Explorer even thought I thought as I entered the shop that I would end up with the Sub. I love the looks of the watch and it turns out it was "my" watch even if Steve McQueen didn't wear one! I constantly look at my wrist to catch the lines of this incredible looking watch.
