Hello from Atlanta
Hi all,

My name is Franklin. Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm based out of Atlanta and hoping to acquire my first investment-grade watch. I've been reading a ton on the white dial Explorer II, learning all I can, and will hopefully be completing a transaction soon with a very trusted seller on this forum

Thank you all for the wealth of knowledge this forum provides. I hope I can add to it as time goes on.

Drove thru Atlanta this evening heading to The Corvette Museum in Kentucky.

Good luck with your watch quest!

Welcome. There are also some local TRF trusted sellers who might source you a watch and save the shipping delays, etc. Sohail is one who comes to mind.
