First Rolex On the Way!
Hello All,
I have been a part of these forums since I purchased a Tudor HBB a little over a year ago. I moved on from that watch and have been lusting over a polar 42mm Explorer 2 for a few years now. This has been a great resource to learn more about the brand, current new/used prices, and an infinite number of pictures of so many different models. Being in grad school for the past couple of years made purchasing one an impossibility. However, I am back to the working world now and was finally able to take the plunge yesterday afternoon  . I worked out a deal with a seller to trade my Moonwatch and some cash to get the watch I have wanted for so long! It should be here Wednesday, and the wait has been painful already. Will be posting up pics later this week!

The watch finally arrived!!! Went to my local AD (Lenkersdorfer in Tysons Corner) and they couldn't have been friendlier, despite my not having purchased the watch there. They sized my bracelet for free, congratulated me, and sent me on my way. Pics below. I will get a group shot with the rest of my (small) collection soon!
