Hello to everyone.

I've been wearing Rolex watches for over 50 years. I had a couple of Datejusts, then a GMT Master, and, for the last 20 years an Explorer. The Explorer was the perfect watch for me until I got so old that I can't remember the date when I need it.

What to do? I like that Explorer stealth. So today I took a train into the city and came home wearing a Day Date 40. In platinum with a black dial. Looks very much like the Explorer.. It's really cool. The heft of it is amazing.

I'm enjoying the forum a lot so far. Answer a question for me, please? How many posts do I need before I can post a picture of this thing?

Regards, Bill
