Decision made!

Hello,

So after joining the form a couple months ago and asking for help making a decision I completely changed my mind. After visiting my local ad yesterday and seeing the sub in person I was hooked. I did go in asking for the new explorer, needless to say they didnt have one. The sales lady said it would be summer or later before they received one and I would be at the end of the dreaded list...

I can't believe how fast I became attached to the sub after trying it on. I completely forgot about the explorer. The sub no date had always been on my list and when I first put it on yesterday it was love at first site!

Thanks for allowing me to lurk around and learn a little before my first rolex purchase!

Sincerely, John

Looks great and huge congrats!

Been looking for the new EXP, too, but not having any luck finding one to try on over here in Lexington.

Hey, fellow KY member here...who are you working with in Louisville?
