Explorer II !!

Been lurking for a while. My dad has had a couple rolex's over the years, a DJ and DJ II. I took over the DJ after he acquired the DJ II.

Though just before the new years I got an Explorer II
Loving it so far!

Terrible picture as it was intended to be a sneak peek kind of picture that I sent to someone earlier. I'm sure we all know what the watch looks like already lol

Quick question, so far I'm getting a deviation of about 3.5+ seconds per day. Is this normal of the 42 EXP II?
I read elsewhere someone had a deviation of 0.5+ seconds and that really amazes me.

give it a month or two to let the spring and gears settle in, if it is still off, you can just bring it in for a regulation.

Outstanding choice! Congrats. No worries about the time differences...you're fine and they already pass the standards before they are released. Don't forget that with all things online that what is reported may not be completely accurate
