That 2 tone Exp 1 is spectacular!

Hats off to you both for making it happen! Great story and great ending.

Btw I got the full AD experience from OC too
From the unboxing to the walk through!
Did he offer you Diet Coke and was he wearing Rolex gloves.

Enjoy!

I made him try on a Cellini Moonphase and DD36 with diamond bezel before showing him the TT Explorer.

As I've said, it's an amazing watch; for me it's the perfect 36mm OP. It would work in so many situations both in dress and in action!!! I really love it. I was surprised by the price tag but now that sticker shock has passed, I can't think of a better deal!! Congratulations of a great incoming!!! Nicely done!!!

very cool! i really enjoyed the process and followed it all the way thru, it was exciting!

beautiful watch at the conclusion as well ! on launch night that two tone explorer wasnt getting the warmest reception, but it looks killer!! and fits your wrist perfectly in my opinion.

and the icing on the cake is it sounds like everyone had a great time, stuff like this is some of the best in humanity and brotherhood, im very thankful for some positive vibes and good spirit

Thank you everyone!
As far as my wrist size I’m not sure I’ve never measured it but I’m 4x7 with the links on the bracelet if that helps

Rather fortuitous that you could meet in person. I suppose you both live in the same city?
