A question

Jocke (formerly called Tony) ,
Thanks for the long term review. Back in 2001, there was no Rolex forum on ThePuristS website and I don't read Swedish.
I liked the old Explorer I but by the nature of its original target owners and low cost, most examples were beaten up.
The Explorer II did not immediately appeal partly because it was expensive compared to Explorer I.
My question is about the feeling at the time of its launch.
Today, when Rolex presents a new watch, it is like the gods have descended with a gift for mankind.
We should be grateful and maybe if we are good, a steel model may appear in future.
But when you ordered your watch in 2001, what was the atmosphere as a customer wanting a new model you were amongst the first to see in Basel?
As it was only available in steel anyway, maybe you cannot comment on the different attitudes between gold and steel customers?
Regards,
MTF
