Look what the Easter bunny got me!!

It's been 12 years since my first Rolex was stolen. It's taken a while to get my act together and many thanks to DavidSW, this has finally happened. What have I been doing?? This Explorer II feels soooooo nice and comfortable, just like all the comments through the various posts. I don't think I'll be lusting after the new 42mm, a this one feels just right, the size is perfect... then again, time will tell

Very cool!

If it wasn't for my love of early Bond movies, that's the watch I'd have bought instead of my 14060m! Enjoy it!

Nice!

Tho you sort of gave away which watch you got in your description.

Guess you will just have to get another one for your next reveal.

You hear lots about not having a triplock on an ex2, but in reality, you just don't have to mess with adjusting a ROLEX all that much-5x a year for the date-and with that movement, just the hour hand has to move. Fixed bezel won't jamb or fall off. The Daytona Is the only other white dial in the sport line. Wear it anywhere-The WIS will respect it, the rest won't recognize it. You got THE WATCH. It is the watch I wear.
