Introducing myself
Hello out there
Let me introduce myself. Iˋm Stephan and I live in Switzerland. Iˋm into wtches for a long time. In early summer the first Rolex will enter my home. I remeber the advertisments of Rolex in the 80ties, window shopping as a boy and young adult. Always strring at the Explorer, the Submariner, the GMT. When I bought my first „real“ watch about 15 years ago, I was torn between the Explorer 1 and the JLC Memovox. I took the Memovox as can seen. I early summer I live 20 years in this wonderful country and will celebrate this with a new watch. Plenty to choose from in this watchmakers country, but I narrowed down my serch for either the Explorer 1 or 2 or the Sub no date. The Explorer 1 has a similr face as the Memovox, so maybe the others are more complementary. I keep you posted upon my decision.
Have a great day wherever you my be!
Stephan

Welcome to TRF. All three watches you are considering are great options, although with some distinct differences. Have fun choosing.
