Here it is, my beautiful one Month old Explorer 11. Having seen some of the great images on this forum, I thought I'd give it a go - I'm no photographer and my camera is a basic digi compact.

I've been lusting after this watch for years and all the dice fell into line on the same day (great offer, spare cash, wife in good mood ) My Rollie has travelled through 6 different time zones in it's first Month and covered 25k+ miles. The 24hr hand is fantastic and the pleasure I get from wearing and using it far exceeds anything I've owned before - something magical about this watch...

Nice Rollie!

But JJ will call it a "Black Sheep"

nice. seen on your passport that you were in Singapore in June... anyway, a belated Welcome...

travellingbrit · 7 July 2007, 01:25 AM

Thanks Taurus

I get to Singapore a couple of times a year, though unfortunately only for a couple of days this trip. Your'e a lucky guy if you live there, it has to be one of the most beautiful places. Aiming to try to get some more time there at the end of the year.......

Beautiful watch. Congrats on the purchase. You gotta love that 24 hour hand when you're travelling. My GMT is the only watch I when going through multiple time zones.
