New Addition to my collection...
Hi Guys...
I finally broke down and decided to get the Explorer II... I have been wanting to add this to my collection for a long time and I think with all the lengthy threads lately regarding the EXP 2 finally pushed me over the edge... And I am so glad. I bought a Pre-Loved "Z" Series with the 3186 movement inside. Must say It is one of the most comfortable Rolex models yet! Here are some pictures...      I have a feeling that the Explorer will be stealing a lot of wrist time for the next little while.... Thanks for looking...

Kevin, what a great watch to own and wear. The more I see the Explorers the more I want one for myself. I guess I'd better start saving my pennies!!!

sweet!!! Gorgeous watch!!!
 i like the black better than the white (though i'm not saying snow white's bad looking).. i've seen a few threads with pics on the exp on different straps.. They look stunning too! |
