First Rolex, and it was from an AD!!
Super excited to own my first Rolex and it was a model that I wanted. Did tons of research and about a week of waiting after visiting 4 AD’s. Def going to continue to enjoy it but am already looking forward to expanding my collection with a Batgirl and a Panda. Totally addicted to mechanical watch’s after wearing an Apple Watch since 2015.

Love my Polar Explorer!!

It looks amazing! What made you switch from an Apple to mechanical watches?

Still own an Apple Watch and use it for fitness or random everyday use (shopping, errands, etc etc). When I’m at work, out with wife/friends, or at a dressier event, I’m all about a luxury watch. I feel that wearing an Apple Watch in any situation outside of a use cases above is tacky lol.

Great Watch - congratulations.

Apple Watch still has its place for me - just bought the ultra and it actually wears like a real watch.

I where when cycling and fishing alone on the boat so I have another means of communication.

I’m also on a mission for my first Rolex and I believe I may be leaning towards the Explorer II as well!! Except probably black dial for me.
Congratulations

Great first. One of the best and most underrated references Rolex makes

Batgirl and Panda? One step at a time
