A First Incoming
2019 was a big year for me professionally and I knew the time was right to treat myself with my first Rolex purchase.
I’ve been deep into watches for 7-8 years now, owned a bunch but always coveted Rolex as the goal, but the time was never right to buy until now. Gotta say the wait was worth it. After a lot of deliberation I decided the 39mm Explorer 214270 was the right choice. After trying the AD route and realizing I don’t want to wait I emailed DavidSW yesterday and the watch was here today. A surprising treat was to pull out the warranty card and see my name on it, as that’s why I wanted to go AD. Top class service from David. Excited to officially join TRF and the explorers club!

In my opinion the Explorer is the best Rolex of them all. Enjoy it in great health.

Great choice, it was my first Rolex as well. How big was the premium to buy from David?
