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! |

One of my faves. Perhaps the cleanest, sharpest look available from Rolex.
