New Member First Rolex experience Explorer 2

[FreddyNJ]

Gentlemen-
I apologize for a long first post.

Great site...have been reading for a while before joining. You have been very helpful in many ways, so first of all THANK YOU

So after a solid year of soul searching Last week I purchased my first Rolex: Explorer 2 noir.

I want to mention my heart was in a Daytona for many years, preferably a 2 tone. I didn't think I was ready to part with that much cash yet.

Well, if I am being honest, my purchase has been anti climactic so far. It does not move me the way I thought it would, and honestly at this point ($8600 with tax) I should have just gone all in at $15k + for what I really wanted.
So, I called my AD in New Jersey after only wearing the watch 2 times and for only owning it for 5 days. I guess my research did not prepare me for the NO RETURNS/EXCHANGES policy. I was disappointed to say the least, mostly mad at myself for not knowing this policy before purchasing the Explorer.

I can either suck it up and wear it, or try and sell it and put that towards a Daytona.

I am not sure if any of you had similar experience first time?
Well thanks for listening and at the end of the day I still do own my 1st Rolex
Fred
