After all of the overthinking, changing mind and trying to figure it out, I can finally say I got my first steel sports Rolex.

216570 Explorer II with black dial.

My journey here was long and full of twists. I always thought I was a Sub guy since I wanted that as long as I can remember.

Truth be told, and this is how I ended up with ExpII.
I like Bond. I like his watch. I like that sub. Applied markers, vintage look. It's so utilitarian and classy at the same time.

But I had to be honest with myself. I really like modern Rolex features.
New bracelet? Perfect
Maxi dial? Perfect
Engraved rehaut? Cool if you ask me

When I combined all of that, my heart lead me to Explorer II. I got it via TRF and could not be happier, I can see myself wearing this for a long time.

I know no one cares for the story as much for the photos, I will upload as soon as I finish typing this on PC and edit from the phone!


And if you ask me what's next??
1803, not sure on the dial, leather band, maybe even a project watch...might post another WTB soon haha.
