Hello!

Hey everybody,

I am beyond excited to be a part of this community. A few days ago, I was gifted a new 214270 by my wonderful parents. My father is a bit of a WIS (but isn't a fan of Rolex - his loss ) and has wanted for a long time to purchase me a watch for my 21st birthday/soon to be college graduation.

The Explorer is the perfect watch for me in every way. As a 21 year old, I wanted a watch that I know is extraordinary, but that also flies under the radar. The first time I saw the Explorer in person, I was floored. I absolutely love everything about it and can't wait to see what the future holds!

Nice to meet you all!
