New Guy

Hi, all. New guy here. Had a Rolex several years ago and thought I had exorcised the demons but alas....I am on the hunt for an Explorer II WD 16570. I have patience and am looking forward to having a watch on my wrist that makes me smile when I look at it. My Seiko SUN025P1 is a great watch but not what I really want. So I am going to take the plunge and get into my grail watch. Looking forward to becoming part of the community.

Cheers!
Warren

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm afraid I have a sickness...and I cannot beat it. :)

Nice bust of Marcus Tullius Cicero. :) I shall have to set my avatar to Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanus in honor of that. :)

Y serial with drilled lugs and SEL. The super luminova makes it wint-o-green flavored.

Wow!!!

Yep...that's what I'm looking for. But I am looking for more of a "mongrel"....some wear is OK since I am looking for a daily wear tool watch. :)
