My First Rolex! Explorer II

Well, I'm excited to say I am now an owner. Been researching quite a bit here as well as visited 3 AD's the past 2 weeks. Looked and compared the GMT, Sub, Date Just II and felt this was sized the best for me and the best overall "value."

Very nice but might want to stop taking photos while driving, be a shame not to live long enough to enjoy it

Congrats.

I'm also considering an Exp II at the moment.

An excellent choice, and you've got the wrists to accommodate the 42mm *wild applause*

Got exactly the same model in 2012. Great watch... but mine's a little more beat up than yours.
