After searching I pulled the gun and bought my son this Explorer for his 30th birthday
Since he lives in Europe we had to unpack the box via video and tonight he will get the watch during dinner back home

Pulled The Gun
Yikes, for a moment it sounded like you robbed the AD 
That's a very nice present.
Yeah, pulling a gun at a Rolex AD could land you behind bars, and without your watch.:):) [nt]

The idiom is "pull[ed] the trigger", not pulled the gun! Regardless, a lovely gift which he should treasure only more with time. [nt]

Well, pulling the gun is much stronger than just pulling the trigger! ;) [nt]

Perhaps the only way to get a Rolex steel sports watch these days :) [nt]

Great gift -- hope he'll enjoy it thoroughly, and may it mark the beginning of his own successful collection! ;-) [nt]

I purchased a Submariner (no-date) for someone's 44th birthday...
...and that someone was myself
Congratulations to you and your very lucky son. He simply cannot lose with that Explorer!
Congratulations to your son
I think you picked the perfect watch for a fine young man. I have the same one and it is and it is a keeper. Understated, with a simple and strong dial. Rugged and with a proud history. To me, the best proportioned case in the current Rolex collection.
Happy birthday
Christian
Thanks
Thanks Christian, those were exactly the reasons we jointly selected this model.
