Heart vs Brain

Congratulations!

Like you, I have never bought a new, contemporary Rolex model.

I understand why you chose the white dial Explorer II; it would be on my shortlist of new Rolex models.

It is a short shortlist of two as the other one is a GMT Master II.

That is the Heart speaking.

Unfortunately, they both have an old 318x movement.

The Brain says to get a new 32xx movement like in the DateJust 41.

Now, if we really go with the Crazy Heart, this would be the new Rolex to get....

Today I actually bought my first watch that was brand new from an AD!

...as in paid for one that wasn't previously owned. ...

Big congratulations for your “deflowering” 😉

Enjoy and wear your Explorer II in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro

Thank you. Since I hardly ever wear a suit, it seemed a good choice for a rugged daily [nt]

Indeed! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with it

And an excellent choice indeed

To unwrap the plastic is a very special feeling you only get from buying new or receiving back from factory service. And believe me, the later is not always so pleasant... Best Blomman
