Hello From An Englishman

Hi,

I've had my own Rolex Submariner for the past ten years and am now trying to assist my son in his search for an Explorer 1 early 90s model as this is what he wants, I agree with his thoughts that it is a very discreet and classy Rolex which will look great on different straps/bracelet. So am here to read up and hopefully glean some useful info from this forum.

Cheers guys

Welcome from a fellow Brit, albeit one living in the USA. The Explorer is a great choice. I prefer the tritium dial versions, love that tritium patina. Fantastic and versatile "lifetime" watch. Your son sounds like a smart kid. What is your avatar about. You ensconced at the MOD ?

Cheers Limey! Yes, he's quite switched onto good design/quality in all areas of his life.
The avatar was hastily put up after I posted one with myself with a hunting rifle, then I read the forum rules about rifles so got it down smartish! Yes, now ex-forces.
