Rolex

Just purchased this and can’t stop looking at it! First ever Rolex. Love it! 🤘 Love it 🤘 ...

The newer version. Sweet!

Part-exchanged a planet ocean for it recently 👌

Awesome watch. Had 1, gave it away. Had to make room for incoming. Lol Wear in good health.

If you are giving any more watches away, give me a shout! 😉

The balance between a sturdy tool watch and the intricacy and delicacy of the design 🔥

The 42MM for some reason wears to big on my wrist for my liking even though have and have had a couple of 42mm's.. I need to weight for grey market prices to come down to get one of the 40MM versions. -D-

Yes, I like 40mm and 42mm versions. Both fantastic. The 42 has a bit more wrist presence I think but the 40 had a certain discreetness I really enjoy.

It was especially frustrating because I really like the style changes on the new one--the orange hand is great. And the overall vibe is a little more contemporary outdoorsy, as befits a watch called 'Explorer.' I really like it! But the 42mm, as you say, ... 

That said, would happily wear the 42.

The first Rolex is always a special one, and the polar dial looks great.

That is a winner and a stunner of a watch anyway you look at it! Congrats, Alex

Mine says hi (old pic). ...

Mine welcomes yours! ...  

I keep reading it’s a bit of a scratch magnet. Yours looks pretty pristine. Have you noticed it scratch easily?

Not really. It has a hairline scratch across the bezel at 2, i think. It’s a 17 year old watch going on 18 so that;s not so bad. I wore it a lot during its earlier years. Not to worry about hairline scratches. Rolex steel sports wear scratches quite well.... 

I agree, it’s a tool watch after all. A few scratches add character 👌

NOTHING will beat the feeling of your first Rolex. I've had lots of watches since, but that first Rolex? Life event! Great choice! Again, congratulations!
