After Six Weeks of Patiently Waiting...

She's finally arrived.



Taken at my favorite Mexican Restaurant, Garcia's Kitchen.

It's even better than I imagined it to be, judging from the plethora of photos on the internet.

And I already have some hairline scratches on the clasp, so she's 100% mine!

Congrats I just got mine too. I got impatient a month ago and got the Hulk but I much prefer the GMT. I like the PCL as it gives the watch a little more bling but without being too blingy like a TT etc.

I've been looking forward to this particular incoming.

I still remember when you had thoughts about the Explorer II.

It looks great on you Grady. Huge congrats!
