I just saw the thread and I'm over the moon for you, Karis.

That superb collection of yours does absolute justice to that equally beautiful hand that the good Lord has bestowed upon you!!

Wear all those 3 diversified stunners in good health, my friend.

Cheers - JJ

Actually, the EXII looks better on Karis wrist than on any wrist I have ever seen before
Congrats Karis you certainly do have quite a collection building up now.
I guess you will have to wait for the new releases from Basel to get your next
Enjoy that EXII, that was my first ever Rolex a white dial EXII it was a very reliable watch for me.

Congrats, Karis! Really sharp, both on the wrist and next to the Sub & DJ. So similar, yet such a great contrast, highly complementary! What a nice choice!

Congratulations Karis!!!

I'm so glad you went with the Explorer II, it just adds so much versatility and it compliments your collection a lot. You truly have a watch for every occasion.

I agree with those who said that the Explorer II has never looked better on anyone's wrist like yours. I thought the Expy looked great on my wrist but after seeing your wrist shot, my wrist shot does not even come close to comparing. Its looks so much better on your wrist by like a million times. Just beautiful!

Your Expy also has the new caliber 3186 on it which uses the blue parachrom hairspring. Can you give us an accuracy report on how your watch performs over the next couple days, to see if it runs pretty much still spot on?

Wear your new watch in the very best of health for man many years to come!

Cheers,
Jerome

Thank you so much Jerome for your kinds words and wishes! You're a gent! I bet yours looks just as good on you
