A good start to 2014
2013 was a lean year in the Rolex departed for me with nothing surfacing, here we are two weeks into the new year and I stumble upon this, a reasonable 1973 Explorer 1016 with hacking
Let's hope it's a sign of things to come HNY ( I do have a movement photo but the system only allows me to load one photo now ? ) |

All good, looking forward to the long weekend.
Picked up a ND Watchco SM300 last week, a nice modern take on a classic vintage. That is a nice start to the year you had. |
