The 216750 is my favorite Rolex to date (macros included)

I am a bigger guy, and I have tried to love the DSSD (thrice now) and it just wasn't as comfortable as I needed a daily wearer to be. However, a 42mm Explorer hits the spot perfectly. Sorry for the poor pics. Had to shoot them from my phone.

This piece is another example of why no other manufacturer can touch Rolex's attention to detail and quality control.

That is a gorgeous work of art right there. Wear it in good health. And, what do you mean "sorry for the pics??" Some of the nicest, clearest close-ups I have ever seen! I feel like I'm inside this watch...dancing on the dial with the sapphire over my head!

Let me know if you need any advice on areas, etc. Dallas is a great place. Weather is fantastic :)
