Icon7 My New Watch!

I did it! I am now the proud owner of a brand new white face Explorer II...!
I dreamed about it for a good long while. I am a bit overwhelmed and in a state of disbelief....but in a really good way! My first Rolex!

It is an M series....it has the engraved rehaut (chapter ring?) which I like...
As far as price, I'm sure there were better deals out there...but I am happy!
