a new watch for me
Hi all,
When I started looking for a waterproof everyday watch the search ended up more difficult than I anticipated. There were plenty of watches that I liked that for one reason or another were rejected; too big, too flashy, quality not quite what I want, too expensive, etc. I only looked at Rolex after re-reading the old Explorer review on Timezone, which reminded me how handsome that watch was. After some digging I found a local dealer that had one in stock, and one look was all it took.
What a great watch.
This watch doesn't do any one thing better than the other watches I was reviewing, but taken as a whole, it's just right. Right size, right quality, right style, right price.
And now my wife's watch has a little company, which can't be bad. 
Jeff
