Congrats on a great choice.

I'm working on a crafty plan to add an EXP 1 to the collection on the basis that it matches my wife's Oyster P, thus justifying the spend/and avoiding a spanking - still got some way to go though

Here is a BIG to you and your new Explorer!
After years of different makes and watches, the Rolex is my favourite, and the Explorer is my favourite Rolex. I can now honestly say, if I could have only one watch, it would be the Rolex Explorer I. This has not only become my daily watch, but I pretty much wear it all the time. The only other watch getting very occasional wrist time is my Milgauss.
I can't imagine ever growing tired of this watch.
Wear it with joy and pride!
Cheers ,
Carl

What a great idea! I heartily applaud any efforts you may go through to get the Explorer.
