Permission to come aboard with my "not quite vintage but getting there" A serial Explorer II from 1999.

The longer I have this watch the more I like it

Thanks Vincent. I have to say my interest and appreciation with vintage Rolex is growing! At a minimum with the more classic design proportions of the 5 or less digit model pieces.

My GMT IIC is the one modern Rolex in my collection but lately I find myself drawn more and more to my 16610LV, 16570 and 16710.

I am giving very serious attention to adding an Exp I to the mix someday soon.

Meet Oliver, born 05:26 this morning (did an incoming thread, but thought I'd put him here with the old sub as well!) Heading back to the hospital soon, with our daughter. Cheers all, K.

Congratulations Karl. I will say as I was reading your post I thought you named your watch because I didn't scroll down enough to see the baby
