Got it!
Hello everyone! I'm especially excited to comment on the forum, but I wanted to do so when I got my first Rolex. I've had my Tudor BB58 since November 2023, and I知 completely in love with it, but I always felt that I wanted to give it an older brother. That's why the other day, while walking around Spain, I went into an AD and asked if they had the Rolex Explorer 124270. To my surprise (since I'm on several waiting lists), they had it, and I was able to buy it on the spot

Congrats on your first Rolex! The Explorer 124270 is an amazing choice, and it's awesome that you got it on the spot. Your Tudor BB58 now has a fantastic older brother.

Nice one. I own both references and they are both stunning.
You have a nice combo of super sporty and more refined. Both are sized to perfection in my opinion.

Yes, in fact, for a moment I thought about selling the Tudor, but it was just a moment. Both are perfect, especially with the perlon strap I put on the Tudor, which makes it much more versatile.

I think it was because it is an eminently touristy area, frequented by wealthy people who are just passing through. That's the reason. A lot of British and Russian tourists go there for vacation, but they don't stay long, so putting them on a waiting list doesn't make much sense for certain items. We need to look for this type of ADS.
