I forgot to say welcome in my last post, so . . . Welcome to TRF!

But please, no more of that Bargain Basement, low end BS about Explorer I.

I saw my first "live" one at the AD, a couple weeks ago. Gorgeous!

I'm thinkin' I'll get one, just as soon as I figure out how to pay for it.

Enjoy your new Rolex!

First ding happened. Now you just have to get over that bad feeling, and then the next one won't phase you.

Folk who could afford a whole range of Rolex watches might still choose to buy the explorer.

Price does not always reflect kudos or beauty. imho

Certainly in my top 10 of Rolex current range. Congratulations & Enjoy !

Looks like I'm unable to post photos yet, but will do when I'm allowed (10 posts min I think).
Awesome!!! Very happy for you... getting your first Rolex is a big deal!

Nothing 'entry level' about that watch. It's elegant and classic. Welcome and congrats
Now how the hell did you ding that? That's a big scratch. Oh well, on the positive side, it's got character and history now
