Finally got some time to try on my soon to be first Rolex! I wasn't sure about which to get. The GMT 2c or the Explorer 2.

After trying both on I have made my decision. Picking it up on my birthday in a little over a month from now. (If I bought it right now I wouldn't trust myself not to wear it until then.)

I like the way you think.

Congrats! Love the Exp-II!

This is something you want and you have the funds to make the purchase. I know I couldn't make myself wait, especially when it comes to a fine watch like the one your getting. When is your B-day?...if you dont mind my asking.

Vallhalla68 · 3 April 2012, 04:59 AM

Same thoughts as you. I bought the Explorer ll three days ago. You have made a great choice. Enjoy

Good luck on waiting for it!

Happy birthday and congratulations in advance!

bewithabob · 3 April 2012, 08:05 AM

Nice one! Gosh- if you buy it early, you could wear it around the house, and not show it off in public until your birthday. No way that I could refrain from wearing it right away…I would probably wear it home!

nick c · 3 April 2012, 08:08 AM

enjoy

nauticajoe · 3 April 2012, 08:08 AM

Well, congrats in advance!

It'll probably be the longest 1+ mo. of your life though.

Good luck!
